-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Quote Vancouver, BC - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has recalled forward Tanner Kero from the Utica Comets. Kero, 26, ranks second on the Comets in goals (16) and points (36) and shares the team lead in assists (20) and power play goals (7). He split the 2017.18 season between the Chicago Blackhawks (1-2-3 in eight games) and Rockford IceHogs (8-12-20 in 36 games). The 6-0, 185-pound centre has appeared in 72 career NHL games, collecting 22 points (8-14-22). https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-tanner-kero/c-303983674 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Would think that MacEwen would get the next call up. Maybe a trade is in the works for Goldobin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleowin Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Horvat got hurt yesterday, returned to the game, but im curious if his leg or knee swelled up post game possibly? If so, he’ll be placed on IR once petey comes back friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but with Pettersson supposedly coming back Friday they will need that roster spot to take him off IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting interesting then, but, someone posted above, Horvat might be nicked up. He was flying in OT though! GOLDOBIN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire_Spiky Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just had a quick looks at Kero's stats and he's been putting up decent numbers for Utica. Would be nice if he could transition that to the NHL level. Hopefully its not a Horvat injury or a Petey setback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Interesting that it's not Gaudette being called up. I wonder if this means Horvat's injured? That'd be quite the kick in the nuts with Pettersson's return imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to speculate that Horvat's injury last night is a bit more serious than anticipated - or at least the idea of being day-to-day is a better precaution in the meantime. Kero has been doing pretty well down in Utica over the last little while - solid numbers, defensively sound, so he is worth a call up to see if he has the next gear to showcase on the NHL level. He had a few good outings the last time he was in the Show with Chicago. Perhaps they want Gaudette to settle into a Top-6 role down there for a bit longer, instead of him travelling back and forth from the farm team to the Bigs. He has earned that role, no doubt, but it could be more taxing to have him heading back and forth. He had a beauty of a tip-in last night too.
