With this being the final game before the trade deadline and Schenn presumably being healthy, scratching him seems likely to be due to roster management reasons. Logan Stanley will also join Schenn in the press box on Thursday, while Isaak Phillips and Ville Heinola will draw into the lineup.

With Pierre-Olivier Joseph (upper body) on Injured Reserve, Vancouver has recalled Mancini from Abbotsford (AHL). The 23-year-old Mancini has 12 points (4G / 8A) in 33 games with Abbotsford this season.


Mancini will draw back out of the Canucks lineup on Thursday in favour of Pierre-Olivier Joseph. Mancini is yet to register a point through 10 games this season.

Mancini will slot into lineup in place of healthy scratch Pierre-Olivier Joseph. Mancini will skate with Tom Willander on Vancouver's third pair.

Calle Jarnkrok will draw back into Toronto's lineup on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres, sending Quillan to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Quillan is averaging 7:39 time-on-ice through four games this season.


Quillan will play for the first time since December 30th, suiting up in his fourth game of the season. Quillan will replace Calle Jarnkork and is expected to skate on the fourth-line and play a minimal role, like he has in the first three games of the season, where he's averaged just 8:06 TOI/gm.

Sasson has been a regular in the lineup this season, already playing a career-high 47 games, but he will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the New Jersey Devils. He has 12 points (10G / 2A) and is averaging 11:25 time-on-ice this season.

Mancini will take a seat on Monday as Elias Nils Pettersson draws back into the lineup. Mancini has played in nine games this season and is yet to register a point.

Pettersson will play for the first time since January 10th after serving as a healthy scratch in each of the last four games. Victor Mancini will sit in his place.



Buium will draw right back into the lineup after getting a night off on Monday. Tom Willander will sit in his place.

Willander will take a seat on Tuesday as the Canucks opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Zeev Buium draws into the lineup in his place.

Schenn did not play in Winnipeg's most recent game, but he will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. The 36-year-old Schenn has five points (1G / 4A) and 88 hits in 30 games this season.
