Vancouver Canucks forward Jake Virtanen scored his second and third goals as Vancouver beat Toronto by 3-1. Virtanen has struggled mightily so far, adding just three-goals and zero assists in 22 contests played. The winger is averaging 11:31 of ice time a game. He has also had some trouble staying out of the box with 26 penalty minutes. Vancouver plays host to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Vancouver Canucks right wing Jake Virtanen, who has been scratched for three of the last four games, will play on Thursday against Toronto. He takes over from Zack MacEwen on the fourth line. Virtanen had a decent year with 18 goals and 36 points in 69 games last season, but he hasn't been much of a factor so far in 2020-21, scoring one goal in 10 appearances. He has added 21 hits and 17 shots with six penalty minutes and a plus-one rating. Virtanen can be left on the waiver wire until he works his way up the lineup.
