The Canucks will have a familiar face with them on the road for the first time this season. Injured winger Mason Raymond, who suffered a fractured vertebra in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final, joined his teammates here on Monday and brought his hockey gear with him.

Just how he participates on the ice, with the team or on his own, will have to wait until today, when the Canucks work out at the Kings' practice facility in preparation for their game on Thursday night.
Canucks assistant GM Laurence Gilman threw cold water on any notion that Raymond was close getting back in the lineup.

"We're doing some team-building exercises and Mason is here because he's a very important person in our group."
