The kid broke his foot in a freak accident on November 1st.
Michael Grabner, 22, had played in nine games with the Canucks – after his recall to Vancouver on Oct. 14th. In that span, he had two goals and three assists.
He had started his season in Manitoba where he had 4 goals and 2 assists in 5 games.
Well, Grabner’s back and he’s lightening it up again.
He returned on December 27th, scored his 5th AHL goal and was named the game’s 2nd star. The following night, on December 28, he scored in a shootout after the game had been tied 1-1 in regulation time.
On New Years Eve he scored his 6th and was named the game’s 2nd star. And last game, on Jan 2nd, he scored his 7th goal and was named the game’s 3rd star.
Maybe there won’t be a spot for Pavol Demitra to come back to.
