According to Sportsnet, he might be back in the lineup this weekend, but it remains to be seen if the Vancouver Canucks' head coach wants to change up the lineup. In his media availability, he just stated that Bärtschi "is an option now".

The Swiss forward, for his part, is anxious to play: "I’m ready to play. As soon as coach tells me I’m in, I’m good to go.” Bärtschi has been sidelined with post-concussion syndrome since the beginning of February and has only played 22 games (five goals, eight assists) this season.
