Eddie Lack's (groin) injury problems could affect the Vancouver Canucks in their dealings with Roberto Luongo. If the Canucks deal Luongo, then they will likely have to pick up a backup goaltender as Lack will be unable to be the man. Brian Brust could be in line as he is a UFA and has been outstanding for nearby Abbotsford of the AHL although they could go for a more experienced backup like Dan Ellis or Ty Conklin. Lack has been out of action since late November with the groin injury and is likely to now go to Vancouver so the training staff can look at him.
