SHIROKOV BACK IN THE BIG TENT

The Manitoba Moose have lost their top offensive weapon.

The parent Vancouver Canucks recalled high-scoring Russian winger Sergei Shirokov on Sunday morning. There’s a chance the 23-year-old could play tonight in Vancouver when the Canucks host…the Edmonton Oilers.

Shirokov is Manitoba’s leading scorer after recording four goals and six assists in 10 games after being assigned to the Moose earlier this month.
