After much speculation, the Vancouver Canucks will have their best player on the ice tonight.

Goalie Roberto Luongo left the team to attend to his wife as she was giving birth to their first child. Roberto is now a proud papa, as they had a healthy baby girl yesterday, and now the All-Star tender has flown to Minnesota to join his mates for tonight’s very important clash with the Wild.

Vancouver, a +150 underdog in this divisional matchup, need a win in the worst way, as they have lost three straight and are in a fight for a playoff spot.
