Anne-Marie Sorvin / USA Today
An injury to Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom has forced the club to recall Richard Bachman from the AHL's Utica Comets.
Markstrom suffered a lower-body injury and will be evaluated Wednesday, general manager Jim Benning said.
Bachman went 14-5-3 with a 2.38 GAA and .918 save percentage with the AHL's Oklahoma City Barons last season, and also appeared in six games for the Edmonton Oilers.
Markstrom is expected to serve as the backup behind Ryan Miller.
