Vancouver Canucks centre Dakota Joshua is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Nashville Predators.
Joshua missed the past 11 games due to a leg injury he sustained against the Predators on Jan. 3.
The 28-year-old has two goals and two assists in 24 games this season.
He enjoyed a breakout campaign last year, scoring 18 goals and 32 points in only 63 games.
Joshua signed a four-year, $13 million contract extension with Vancouver in the off-season.
The Canucks (22-17-10) are fifth in the Pacific Division and aiming for a third consecutive win when they face the Predators (18-23-7).
Watch the Canucks face the Predators live on Sportsnet Pacific and Sportsnet+ at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
