Tuesday update on Ohlund
So, surprisingly Ohlie could be back as early as Saturday. From Botchford's article today..
MATTIAS OHLUND..
Situation: A lingering concussion suffered Dec. 18 against New Jersey. He's missed 13 games and still leads all Vancouver defencemen with 13 points.
Date of possible return: Saturday. It better be soon. Coach Alain Vigneault acknowledged Monday that Ohlund's has been one of the most difficult injuries for team to overcome.
"Mattias is a big part of our power play, a big part of our defensive presence," Vigneault said. "With him being out ... it's a challenge for us back there."
The good news is Ohlund skated Monday for the first time since Dec. 22.
"I think everything looked good," Vigneault said. "Hopefully, we'll be able to get him to practise with the team on Friday and play Saturday [at home against the Los Angeles Kings]."

Totally off topic, but I'd stumbled upon your Ohlund site, and there was this one picture of Mattias and Markus in Team Sweden uniforms, where Mattias looks upset. Just curious as to what event that was.
Thanks for the fun reads and collection on pictures!

Thanks for coming to the site S!
As for the photo on Mattias and Markus - it was 2002 Olympics but I'm not sure as to what game it was. Sweden beat Finland for bronze.
