• Left wing Gustav Nyquist spoiled Edmonton’s shutout Saturday by scoring his 15th of the season with less than a minute remaining in the third period – his third game in a row with a goal after ending a 13-game goal drought. Goaltender Joonas Korpisalo is 1-2-1 in four starts since missing nearly two months with a knee injury after stopping 20-of-23 shots Saturday and could hand the crease over Sunday to rookie Matiss Kivlenieks, who is 1-1-2 with a 2.95 goals against average and .898 save percentage in six appearances. Zach Werenski leads all NHL defenseman with a career-best 20 goals this season and has two goals and two assists in seven career games against Vancouver.

• With a goal and an assist Friday, forward J.T. Miller became the first Canucks player since Alexander Mogilny in 1995-96 to hit the 70-point mark in his first season with the team. Alexander Edler dished out a milestone helper on Troy Stecher’s opening goal Friday as the 33-year-old defenseman is the seventh player in Canucks history to record 300 career assists. Center Elias Pettersson tallied a goal and two assists against Columbus Sunday but Vancouver fell to 14-2-1 when the 22-year-old registers a multi-point effort.

• Vancouver is seventh in the league with 21 victories at home while Columbus is tied for 26th with 12..
