It was announced early Saturday morning by the Vancouver Canucks organization that forward Tyler Motte will miss significant time with a shoulder injury.
Motte is out 4-to-6 weeks with a shoulder injury, said Coach Green.

Motte left Wednesday's game against San Jose following a hit from defenseman Erik Karlsson, who ran him hard into the boards. He was then placed on injured reserve and did not travel with the Canucks on their road trip.
