The Canucks are back at nearly full health. Depth defenceman Ashton Sautner was officially re-assigned Wednesday to the Utica Comets, the NHL team’s American Hockey League affiliate. Sautner was recalled just over a week ago, ahead of the Canucks’ recent four-game road trip, because Oscar Fantenberg — the team’s seventh defenceman — was placed on the injured reserve list. Fantenberg had been said to be ill in the days before being moved to IR. Sautner did not appear in any games during his recall stint.
