VANCOUVER -- The struggling Vancouver Canucks cant seem to catch a break on the injury front. Brett Favre Packers Jersey . The team announced Thursday that centre Mike Santorelli has undergone surgery to repair a torn labrum and will be out five to six months, effectively ending his season. The news came after assistant coach Mike Sullivan told reporters defenceman Kevin Bieksa wont accompany the Canucks on their five-game road trip that leads into the Olympic break. "Its more than (a maintenance day)," said Sullivan of Bieksas absence from practice. "He is not going to join us on the trip. "We dont know the details of it yet. When we get more information well update you." On top of that, fellow defenceman Christopher Tanev is out with whats believed to be a broken hand. Captain Henrik Sedin has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury, although Sullivan expects him back soon. "Hes still day-to-day, but I believe he will join us on this trip and we are hopeful that well get him at some point here," said Sullivan. It all adds up to a very busy sick bay for a team that has just four wins in its last 15 games (4-8-3), including just two victories in regulation. The loss of Santorelli hurts up front as the Canucks have been held to two goals or less in nine of their last 10 games. The 28-year-old, who was injured Jan. 16, had 10 goals and 18 assists in 49 games this season. A native of nearby Burnaby, B.C., Santorelli impressed head coach John Tortorella in training camp and became one his most trusted players the first half of the season. "After consultation with our team physicians, we determined Mike would require a procedure on his shoulder," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said in statement. "The surgery was successful and we expect a full recovery." Santorelli -- who can become an unrestricted free agent in July -- had been a journeyman in the league until appearing to find a home with the Canucks. He was put on waivers by the Florida Panthers last season and picked up by the Winnipeg Jets before signing with Vancouver. The loss of Bieksa, who has four goals and 15 assists in 55 games this season, is also a significant blow. To take the 32-year-olds place on the blue-line, the Canucks recalled defenceman Frank Corrado of the American Hockey Leagues Utica Comets. The 20-year-old played six games for Vancouver earlier this season but has yet to register a point. Meanwhile, Tortorella still has one game to go in his six-game suspension for trying to get into the Calgary Flames locker-room after that infamous first-period line brawl Jan. 18. The fiery head coach, who had been on his best behaviour since coming to Vancouver prior to that incident, will sit out Friday games against the Winnipeg Jets before returning Monday against the Detroit Red Wings. What he will find is a team with a 27-19-9 record thats in a dogfight for one of the two Western Conference wild-card spots, a position the Canucks arent accustomed to after winning division titles five of the last six years. "We have to be a resilient group. We understand the circumstance, everybodys looking for the result," said Sullivan. "Resilience and attitude is a big part of having success in this league, because inevitably, most teams go through adversity where they lose a few games or things dont go their way, they hit the injury bug, whatever it may be -- sometimes its all of the above."

Here are 10 memorable Canadian moments from past tournaments:A GOLDEN TURN OF EVENTSThe Canadians needed a lot of help to win gold in 1990 — and they got it. Back when the format was a straight round robin, Canada had to beat Czechoslovakia and hope that Sweden could hold the Soviet Union to a tie. Canada was up 2-1 on the Czechs when the players got word that the Swedes had come back from a two-goal deficit to draw the Soviets 5-5. Both results stood and Canada brought home gold.HALISCHUKS OT HEROICSSweden tied the 2008 gold-medal game against Canada late in regulation to force overtime. The Canadians appeared to be on the ropes until Matt Halischuk stepped up in the extra period, swatting home a shot in front to give his country its fourth straight world junior title.THE PUNCH-UP AT PIESTANYA bench-clearing brawl in the final game of the 1987 tournament between Canada and the Soviet Union in Piestany, Czechoslovakia, resulted in the disqualification of both countries. Canada was up 4-2 in the second period when the melee broke out. Officials turned off the lights in the arena to try to stop the fighting that went on for 20 minutes before the game was abandoned. The Soviets had already been eliminated from medal contention, but the disqualification cost Canada at least a bronze.OWN GOAL DISASTERCanada was up 3-2 in the third period of the 2004 gold-medal game against the United States when disaster struck. After Ryan Kesler had tied it for the Americans, Canadian goalie Marc-Andre Fleury cleared a puck off a teammate and into his own net to hand the U.S. the lead and the gold medal.HAT TRICK HEROICSCanada was down 3-0 to the United States less than eight minutes into a memorable New Years Eve round-robin finale in Ottawa in 2009 when John Tavares took over.
