[Thrillhouse]

Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks Senior Vice President and General Manager Dave Nonis announced today that left wing Mason Raymond, goaltender Drew MacIntyre and left wing Jason Jaffray have been recalled from the Manitoba Moose of the AHL.

Raymond, 22, recorded one assist in nine games with the Canucks in 2007-08. With the Moose, the Coleman, Alberta native played in 17 games, registering 14 points (6-8-14).

MacIntyre, 24, has appeared in 16 games for the Moose this season, posting a record of 11-4-1 and one shutout. The Charlottetown, PEI native has a GAA of 2.28 and save percentage of 0.926.

Jaffray, 26, has played in 19 games for the Moose, recording 21 points (10-11-21) and 34 penalty minutes.

Nothing official about Luongo yet, but apparantly he bruised a couple ribs after stopping a hard shot against the Wild last Sunday - some Wild and Canucks might remember Luongo staying down on the ice for a bit after taking a shot in the midsection. The pain has become steadiy worse since then; he was scheduled to start last night in LA but pulled himself out of the game during warmups, and Sanford got the start. Calling up MacIntyre is probably just a little insurance, but hopefully Louie just needs a few more nights off.

Cowan seperated his shoulder against the Penguins on Saturday, and Isbister suffered a lower body injury early against the Kings last night as well, hence the other players. When Cowan went down I was hoping to see Rypien get called up to replace him, but Mike Brown is still up and I think the Canucks are looking for a little boost offensively - maybe Raymond or Jaffray can help a little there.

I believe he took an Aaron Voros shot, but I thought they said - and replay showed - that the shot was taken off the collarbone?

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly.

I'm not entirely sure - all I know is it happened during that game, and I recall that moment where it looked like Luongo took a shot in the midesection, then took a while getting to his feet. I'm not even sure if that was Voros or not who took the shot.

On a related note, Brendan Morrison flew back to Vanouver today so a doctor could look at his wrist, which he apparantly hurt last night as well. There's a good chance he'll miss tomorrows game in Anahiem. If thats the case, Morrsion's current iron man streak of 500+ games, which leads all active players, will come to an end.

Kind of weird if that were to happen - Raffi Torres of the Oilers has his ironman streak of over 200 games ended a few nights ago when he was a healthy scratch.
