Wideman will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's road game against the Canucks, David Randorf of Sportsnet and HNIC reports.

EDGE Analysis

Not known as much of a scorer from the back line, Wideman actually found twine in the season road opener against the Oilers, but the 33-year-old will need to rest occasionally to stay fresh over the course of the season. Brett Kulak reportedly will play in his place Saturday.
