The Vancouver Canucks will be without defenceman Kevin Bieksa for at least the next five games with an undisclosed injury.

Canucks acting head coach Mike Sullivan said the 32-year-old won't be going with the team on their upcoming road trip meaning he's out until at least after the Olympic break.

The eight-year veteran has three points in his last three games and 19 in 55 games this season. He played more than 23 minutes in Vancouver's loss to Chicago on Wednesday.
