<p>Sherwood was listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury after exiting Thursday&#8217;s matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. He would miss the following home game against the Washington Capitals and did not join the team for the start of a three-game road trip in St. Louis.</p>
<p>Speaking on Monday, head coach Rick Tocchet left open the possibility of Sherwood returning to the lineup Canucks against the Nashville Predators, but it is now unclear when the 29-year-old may return. His injury remains unknown.</p>
<p>The undrafted winger has 13 goals and 21 points in 47 games with the Canucks this season, six points away from his career high of 27 that set last year with the Predators. Sherwood currently sits first in the league in hits with 273, far ahead of Flyers&#8217; winger Garnet Hathaway, who trails second with 184.</p>
<p>In his place, Joshua is set to slide into the Canucks lineup tonight after missing 11 games with a leg injury. The 29-year-old has had a slow start this season, with two goals and two assists in 24 appearances.</p>
<p>Ninth in hits last year with 244 in 63 games, the 6&#8217;3&#8243; skater aims to bring a similar physicality that the Canucks are losing in the absence of Sherwood.</p>
<p>Joshua&#8217;s last game came against Nashville when the Canucks fell 3-0 to the visiting Predators earlier this month. He played 10:23 with five penalty minutes in that contest.</p>
<p>Speaking to the media earlier today, Joshua said he&#8217;s looking to get his season back on track and to get involved early.</p>

Sherwood was listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury after exiting Thursday's matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. He would miss the following home game against the Washington Capitals and did not join the team for the start of a three-game road trip in St. Louis.

Speaking on Monday, head coach Rick Tocchet left open the possibility of Sherwood returning to the lineup Canucks against the Nashville Predators, but it is now unclear when the 29-year-old may return. His injury remains unknown.

The undrafted winger has 13 goals and 21 points in 47 games with the Canucks this season, six points away from his career high of 27 that set last year with the Predators.

Ninth in hits last year with 244 in 63 games, the 6'3" skater aims to bring a similar physicality that the Canucks are losing in the absence of Sherwood.
