Markstrom underwent a minor lower-body procedure on Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

With Markstrom out, Thatcher Demko will serve as the Canucks' No.1 netminder and they made a trade for Louis Domingue today to give them a No.2 netminder.
Pesce's shoulder injury is not expected to be "short term."
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour met with the media on Monday and told reporters that none of their recent injuries are "short term." With Pesce set to miss some time, the Hurricanes could be in the market for a defenseman before today's trade deadline.
Siegenthaler will be a healthy scratch on Sunday.
Siegenthaler played 13:51 TOI in New Jersey on Saturday afternoon but will be replaced by Radko Gudas in the lineup vs. the Penguins.
Pesce (upper-body) is expected to be out for "a long time."
Pesce was hurt midway through Saturday's win over the Maple Leafs and did not return. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour did not have a good update on the 25-year-old defenseman, leaving them without two of their top-4 defenseman for an extended period of time. With the trade deadline on Monday, this injury could change how the Hurricanes operate in the next 24 hours.
