Head coach Travis Green confirmed the news Saturday after the team鈥檚 morning skate.

Edler, who has one assist in three games this season, sprained his medial collateral ligament in Thursday鈥檚 game against the Winnipeg Jets.

The 31-year-old Swede has 301 points (78-223) over 691 career regular-season games, all with Vancouver.
