Desjardins confirmed Sunday that forward Anton Rodin and defenceman Ben Hutton are the latest players to be affected by the disease that has dismantled the Canucks’ lineup.
The Canucks were missing five players due to the highly contagious virus in their 4-1 loss at home to San Jose on Saturday night.
