Evan Oberg became the latest minor-league defenseman to join the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.

Oberg, 22, was officially called up from Manitoba of the AHL amidst reports veteran defenseman Kevin Bieksa has been sidelined three weeks with a broken foot.

The Canucks confirmed Oberg's call-up in a news release following reports that he was pulled from the Moose lineup Wednesday night against the Toronto Marlies so that he could join the NHL team in Nashville for Thursday night's game against the Predators.
