Nilsson was
sent down to the minors Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Nilsson signed with the Canucks in the offseason after spending his fifth professional season playing in his native Sweden. The 23-year-old last played for the Comets during the 2014-15 campaign, in which he tallied six points in 44 outings along with 26 PIM and a plus-4 rating. Vancouver is relatively deep along the blue line, so it's likely that Nilsson will stay in the minors for the majority of the year.
