More info on Ohlund's injury

Snippet from Elliot Pap's article:
Injured Canuck defenceman Mattias Ohlund, who has concussion-like symptoms as well as a sore neck, will try riding the bike today on his road back to the lineup.

Ohlund was originally hurt Dec. 18 against New Jersey but played another two games before bowing out of the lineup.

He has not done any exercise in a week and has missed three contests and counting.

"I am feeling better," Ohlund said Sunday.


Ben Kuzma's article:
The good news Sunday was that Mattias Ohlund was at GM Place. The bad news was that the injured Vancouver Canucks defenceman was forced to watch proceedings from the press box.

Ohlund suffered a neck and head injury on Dec. 18 against New Jersey and has missed three games. He didn't accompany the team to Calgary for tonight's game against the Flames and his timetable for a return is uncertain.

"I got hit on the first shift against New Jersey and had my head jammed against the [corner] glass," said Ohlund, who has been experiencing neck stiffness and headaches.

"I played a few more games, but I didn't feel good and things are not were they're supposed to be."

Ohlund logged 24:20 against the Dallas Stars on Dec. 20 at GM Place and 24:11 two nights later in Phoenix against the Coyotes before deciding he was in too much difficulty to play at a top level.
