The Vancouver Canucks have placed goaltender Anders Nilsson on injured reserve, according to Sportsnet's Irfaan Gaffar. Veteran goaltender Richard Bachman has been recalled from AHL Utica to replace Nilsson.
It's unclear for now what Nilsson's injury is or when it occurred. Nilsson last started for the Canucks in Thursday's loss to the Arizona Coyotes but did serve as backup to Jacob Markstrom in Saturday's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
This season Nilsson has a 3-3-0 record with a 2.67 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage.
Bachman is in his fourth season with the Utica Comets. This year in five games he has a 1-4-0 record with a 4.23 goals-against average and a .865 save percentage.
