Ilya Mikheyev Expected To Miss Season Opener
1 year agoVancouver Canucks winger Ilya Mikheyev (knee) came through a full practice on Sunday, but the team will likely still have to start the season without him. Mikheyev hasn't been cleared to play and will need to get in more practice time to be game-ready. Starting the campaign without Mikheyev is far from ideal for the Canucks, but it looks like he won't be forced to sit out a lot of action. The Canucks open their season Wednesday versus Edmonton and will have another game against the Oilers Saturday night.
