Schenn returned to the Canucks this offseason after signing a two-year, $1.7 million contract. He primarily was brought in to be a depth defenseman, but even with this being so, it's always a tough break losing a player from the backend. 

Schenn has played in five games this season with the Canucks and has two assists. Along with that, he has gotten into two fights. Thus, he certainly hasn't been afraid to be active in the physical side of the game. 

Once Schenn is able to return, it will not be surprising to see him back in the lineup pretty often. The NHL is constantly full of injuries, so at a minimum, he will fill in when needed.
