Canucks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
New Canucks center Mats Sundin was on the ice wearing his familiar No. 13 Sunday night.
Unfortunately for all but one fan at the 3-2 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars, it was only to give that new jersey away as part of a post-game Fan Appreciation Night. As for when he might finally wear a Canucks sweater in game action, the big Swedish center still wasn't sure.
"It's feeling better and better," Sundin said after a 75-minute skate Sunday morning, including some power play drills with his new teammates. "It was nice to skate with the guys out there." Sundin didn't join the Canucks on their recently completed, somewhat absurd two-games-in-two-nights road trip through Nashville and Atlanta, instead staying in Vancouver to skate and work out for three to four hours a...
