Coach Willie Desjardins hopes that Dorsett (upper body) will be able to play Monday against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Dorsett skated with Bo Horvat and Emerson Etem at practice Sunday, which could pave the way for him to return to action Monday. Of course, Dorsett's total of 12 points through 67 games limits his fantasy utility to formats where his hefty PIM total (160) factors in.

Dorsett (upper body) participated in line rushes during Sunday's practice session.
EDGE Analysis
Dorsett appears to be closing in on a return to the lineup after missing four straight tilts with the upper-body issue. While he doesn't provide much fantasy value other than penalty minutes (160), expect another update on the winger when he's set to rejoin the lineup, which could come as soon as Monday against the Kings.

Dorsett will not dress for Tuesday's game against the Sharks due to an upper-body injury, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dorsett's health shouldn't be of much concern to the majority of fantasy players, as the winger owns just 12 points through 67 contests this season. The only thing that keeps him fantasy-relevant is his propensity to pick up penalty minutes (160), but that's only in deeper leagues. Expect another update on Dorsett when he's fit to play.

Dorsett will return to action Friday against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Dorsett's return won't have an impact on many fantasy owners' lineups, as the 29-year-old winger has only notched 12 points in 66 games this season, and has very little to offer in terms of fantasy value. The 2006 seventh-round draft pick will likely slot into a bottom-six role Friday against St. Louis.

Dorsett (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Fantasy owners likely don't need to keep tabs on Dorsett's availability, as the veteran winger has only tallied 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in 66 games this season, and shouldn't be owned in most fantasy leagues. Expect an update on the former seventh-round pick's status once he's fit to play.

Dorsett is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when and how Dorsett suffered the ailment, as he was able to skate 13:32 worth of ice time in Monday's contest -- over a minute higher than his season average. It doesn't sound as though it's anything overly serious though, so he could be able to slot back into the lineup for either Wednesday's or Friday's game.

Dorsett (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Dorsett exited Sunday's game against Colorado with an undisclosed injury, which left his status for Thursday's contest in doubt. His owners will be happy that the former seventh-round pick was able to avoid serious injury, as he's been racking up PIM of late, registering 22 minutes spent in the sin bin in just his last five games.

Dorsett (undisclosed) is day-to-day as Thursday's game against Ottawa approaches.
EDGE Analysis
Dorsett left Sunday's game against the Avs in the third period with an unspecified injury, leaving the fourth-line winger's status for Thursday's contest cloudy. To date, Dorsett has recorded 10 points and 139 PIM in 57 games for the Canucks.

Dorsett (illness) took part in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he will play Saturday against the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old appears set to return to the fourth line, having skated alongside Jared McCann and Jake Virtanen during warmups, after missing Wednesday's game due to illness. Dorsett has only nine points (3G, 6A) on the season and has logged all of nine penalty minutes since the calendar turned to 2016.
