"The Vancouver Canucks are about to receive a big boost as forward Alex Burrows is expected to make his return to the Canucks' lineup on Tuesday.

The 29-year old Burrows, who is on long-term injured reserve, has yet to play this season after undergoing off-season shoulder surgery. Monday's game against the New Jersey Devils will mark the Canucks' 10th game of the season, meaning that Burrows will be eligible to return in time for Tuesday's contest against the Oilers in Edmonton."
