Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin announced today that forward Tanner Pearson underwent successful hand surgery and will miss 4-6 weeks:

Pearson, 30, has 5 points in 14 games for Vancouver this season with a -9 rating. The Canucks sit at the bottom of the NHL's leaderboards right now and need all hands on deck if they are going to pull a reversal.

With Pearson out of the lineup, Vancouver has recalled forward Sheldon Dries from Abbottsford of the AHL.
