Canucks recall defenceman Victor Mancini from AHL Abbotsford
The Vancouver Canucks have recalled defenceman Victor Mancini from the Abbotsford Canucks.
The Vancouver Canucks have recalled defenceman Victor Mancini from the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League, the team announced Sunday.
Mancini was acquired from the New York Rangers this past Friday along with Filip Chytil and a conditional first-round draft pick in a blockbuster deal for J.T. Miller, Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington.
The 22-year-old from Hancock, Mich., had yet to play with Abbotsford. He had one goal and five points in 15 games with the Rangers this season plus three goals and 10 points in 22 games with the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack.
Star defenceman Quinn Hughes is a game-time decision as the Canucks are set to host the Detroit Red Wings.
