Suter was hurt in Monday's pre-season game and is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. With Suter sidelined, Aatu Räty may make the Canucks out of training camp and centre the third line between Nils Hollander and Conor Garland.

Suter got in a scuffle with Edmonton's Corey Perry in Tuesday's preseason matchup and is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old will hope to be ready for the Canucks' season opener on October 9th vs. Calgary as he has a week to recover.

The 27-year-old undrafted Swiss center came over to the NHL in 2020-21 and has 43 goals, 87 points, and 384 SOG in 216 career games across three seasons.
