The Vancouver Canucks have called up center Aatu Räty under emergency conditions ahead of their game on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. The call-up was required as both center Elias Pettersson and Nils Höglander left Saturday's game against the New York Rangers with injuries. While Rick Tocchet was unable to give specifics on the injuries, he did indicate that it was unlikely Pettersson and Höglander would be available for Monday's game.
