Sources tell Sportsnet that Hockey Canada Head Coach Marc Habscheid will be in Vancouver this week to meet with Canucks general manager Dave Nonis about his team's vacancy.

Alain Vigneault, the Canucks AHL affiliate coach in Winnipeg is still widely regarded as Vancouver's prime candidate, although Habscheid, among others is considered part of the process.

Habscheid is also drawing interest from around the National Hockey League.

The New Jersey Devils are also believed to be interested in discussing Habscheid's future.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The Edmonton Oilers' other goalies are about to get a whole lot busier.

Backups no more, either Ty Conklin or Jussi Markkanen will have to step in for No. 1 netminder Dwayne Roloson, who was knocked out of the Stanley Cup finals Monday night with an injured right knee.

Roloson, who played every minute of Edmonton's surprising playoff run, went down in the third period of a 5-4 loss to Carolina. Moments after the game, Oilers coach Craig MacTavish delivered the grim news.

"Goalie's not good. Won't be back in the series," he said.
