Status report
Reaves, a forward who has missed two games, practiced Monday but won't play. ... Tinordi takes the place of Lundkvist, a defenseman, for a second straight game. … Hamonic, who rejoined the Canucks on Monday after missing training camp and the start of the season on personal leave, took a regular shift during the morning skate Tuesday but coach Travis Green said he hasn't decided whether Hamonic would play. ... Motte, a forward, skated with teammates the past two days for the first time since offseason neck surgery, but there is no timeline for his return.
