This was Kravtsov's second game as a Canuck following his trade from the Rangers on Saturday. The 23-year-old set up Brock Boeser's goal in the first period.

Through 30 outings this season, he has seven points, 29 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-6 rating.

Canucks' Vitali Kravtsov: Dealt to Vancouver
Kravtsov was acquired by Vancouver from the Rangers on Saturday in exchange for William Lockwood and a 2026 seventh-round pick.
Kravtsov was selected by the Rangers with the No. 9 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, but he was unable to establish himself as a top-six forward in New York. He had three goals and six points in 28 games while averaging 11:25 of ice time with the Rangers this season. The move to Vancouver is an opportunity for Kravtsov to get a fresh start and potentially play a bigger role.

Rangers' Vitali Kravtsov: Sitting out for roster reasons
Kravtsov will be scratched Thursday versus the Red Wings for roster management reasons.
It's not really much of a change -- Kravtsov has played just once in the last 10 games anyway. The 23-year-old's lack of an opportunity with the Rangers has made him a potential prospect to monitor in trade talks, and it's unlikely he'll suit up for the Rangers again unless he remains with the team following the March 3 trade deadline.
