Canucks' Marco Rossi: Collects two power-play points
Rossi scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
Rossi had been held off the scoresheet in the Canucks' first three games after the Olympics. The 24-year-old center is still trying to settle in with his new team, though he's in a position to succeed on the second line.

Filip Hronek D | VAN
Canucks' Filip Hronek: Three points in loss
Hronek scored a goal on two shots, dished two assists, added four hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
Hronek was a bright spot despite the loss. He scored in the first period and then helped out on tallies by Brock Boeser (on the power play) and Nils Hoglander over the final two frames. Hronek had gone six games without a point prior to Wednesday. The defenseman is now at six goals, 29 helpers, 88 shots on net, 101 hits, 82 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 61 appearances this season, production nearly identical to what he did last year.

Nikita Tolopilo G | VAN
Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Takes loss in relief outing
Tolopilo allowed a goal on 10 shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
While Tolopilo had the better performance of Vancouver's two goalies, he was also responsible for the decisive goal, which Nikolaj Ehlers potted just under a minute after Tolopilo entered the contest. This was Tolopilo's fourth loss in a row (0-2-2), and he's given up 12 goals on 116 shots over those four appearances. The 25-year-old is now at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.27 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 12 appearances. He should get a start soon, as the Canucks visit the Blackhawks on Friday and the Jets on Saturday for a back-to-back set.

Kevin Lankinen G | VAN
Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Pulled in Wednesday's loss
Lankinen allowed four goals on 22 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
Lankinen was pulled when the Hurricanes went ahead 4-2 on a Sebastian Aho goal in the second period. The Canucks were able to cover that damage despite not catching up, with Nikita Tolopilo ultimately responsible for the decisive goal. Lankinen's record remains at 7-20-4, and he now has a 3.75 GAA and an .873 save percentage over 34 appearances. He is winless in eight straight outings, allowing 30 goals in that span. Lankinen and Tolopilo should each get a start during the Canucks' upcoming road back-to-back with games in Chicago on Friday and Winnipeg on Saturday, but neither goalie can be trusted in fantasy.
