Has anyone a link on the Ballard IR/LTIR move? According to reports Ballard was skating today.

VanCanucks Vancouver Canucks
Media Release: Chris Tanev has been recalled from the Chicago Wolves of the AHL.

Ben Kuzma on the Tanev recall tweets:
benkuzma #Canucks recalling Tanev brings instant relief to right side on third pairing, but heightens worry that Ballard may have a concussion.

benkuzma Encouraging that Ballard skated today to see how neck reacts. As for Tanev, believe this was the plan all along. Get kid up for long run.

benkuzma Always liked Tanev-Ballard as a third pairing, always worried about Alberts-Rome.
And Jim Jamieson:
JamiesonCanucks #Canucks recall Chris Tanev from Chicago. Concern over Ballard's injury?

JamiesonCanucks #Canucks. Tanev will help puck movement out of the Canucks' end, which has been a problem at times.
