With Andrei Kuzmenko (face) and Pius Suter (undisclosed) ailing, the Canucks called up Linus Karlsson in place of Hirose. The 24-year-old Hirose was a scratch for Wednesday's game versus the Islanders, though he could rise to the NHL roster again the next time the Canucks need more defensive depth.
