Head coach Rick Tocchet told Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 on Monday that Suter (lower body) suffered a setback about a week ago.
As a result, Suter hasn't been able to resume skating yet. It's unclear at this time when he will be available to return to the lineup. The Canucks placed on Suter on injured reserve Friday. He has picked up four goals, 23 shots on net and nine hits in 15 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Suter scored a goal in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Stars.
Suter has scored in each of the first two games in November after failing to record a point over nine outings in October. That's just the way it goes sometimes for bottom-six forwards.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Gets first goal with new team
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 10-1 win over the Sharks.
Suter's goal late in the third period was his first point as a Canuck. He ended up leading the team's forwards with 19:42 of ice time in the blowout win, as head coach Rick Tocchet rested the bigger names late. Suter has added just 10 shots on net, eight hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating so far. He's seeing some time on the second power-play unit and the third line, but he'll be a non-factor in fantasy until he can generate more consistent offense.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Signs with Canucks
Rotowire
Suter signed a two-year, $3.2 million contract with Vancouver on Friday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK television reports.
Suter is expected to start the season as the Canucks' third-line center. Suter is more than capable of being a top-two center should Elias Pettersson or J.T. Miller get injured. Suter managed 14 goals and 24 points in 79 games with the Red Wings last season. Look for 15 goals and 35 points if he remains a bottom-six forward for Vancouver throughout 2023-24.

Red Wings' Pius Suter: Lone Red Wing to strike in loss
Rotowire
Suter found the back of the net in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.
Suter registered an even-strength tally for his third point in the last 10 games. The 26-year-old winger is cashing out the balance of a two-year, $6.5 million deal, and he's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Should Suter wind up elsewhere, it would mostly affect the Wings' penalty kill.

Red Wings' Pius Suter: Lights lamp in loss
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.
Sustained pressure in the Kraken zone saw Suter get a couple of looks. One of them was blocked, but he was able to capitalize on his second chance. The 26-year-old has scored in three of the last four games, and he's up to nine goals, 15 points, 66 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 52 appearances this season. Despite his recent success, he remains in a bottom-six role, one that hasn't been very fruitful for him for much of the campaign.

Red Wings' Pius Suter: Ends eight-game slump
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal in Monday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.
Suter had gone eight games without a point -- his last contribution was a goal Jan. 17 versus the Coyotes. The 26-year-old forward continues to center the fourth line, which explains a lot about his drop in offense from last year, when he played in a middle-six role. He's now at 13 points, 61 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-5 rating through 49 appearances.

Rotowire
Suter earned an assist in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Lightning.

Red Wings' Pius Suter: Scoring skid continues
Rotowire
Suter produced one shot during Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to the visiting Hurricanes.
With four top-six forwards sidelined, Suter was recently elevated to the second line but has gone pointless in his past 11 outings. The 26-year-old forward has not made the scoresheet since he produced a goal and an assist against the Sharks on Nov. 17. Suter had a quality scoring chance Tuesday, but rookie goalie Pyotr Kochetkov denied the shot attempt with the tip of his glove. Suter has four goals and eight points this season.

Red Wings' Pius Suter: Notches tally on top line
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal during Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
Suter, who started the season as a bottom-six forward, collected a second-period, game-tying tally while skating on the No. 1 line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond. The 26-year-old forward has scored in consecutive games after failing to convert over a seven-game stretch. Suter scored on his lone shot Sunday off a rebound surrendered by goalie Jaroslav Halak, who made consecutive point-blank saves on Larkin and Filip Hronek.

Red Wings' Pius Suter: Opens scoring Friday
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Suter scored the first of the Red Wings' two first-period goals, which came 1:07 apart midway through the frame. The tally was Suter's second point in three outings this year, to go with an assist in his last game. The 26-year-old has seen a massive reduction in role so far, as free-agent signing Andrew Copp has taken over the second-line center spot Suter often held last year. As such, the Swiss forward shouldn't be expected to generate consistent offense even if he's an acceptable depth scorer.
