Carson Soucy - Gets two helpers in victory Soucy collected two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over Edmonton in Game 1.
Impact The Canucks were down 4-1 after Zach Hyman scored at 13:11 of the second period, but Soucy helped out on the next two markers to get the comeback started. Although the 29-year-old Soucy was noteworthy offensively against the Oilers, that's a rare occurrence for him. He had just six points (two goals) in 40 regular-season contests in 2023-24, and his last multi-point effort came Nov. 2 when Vancouver earned a 10-1 victory over San Jose. He has three assists in seven playoff outings this year.

Conor Garland - Nets game-winner in opener Garland scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over Edmonton in Game 1.
Impact Garland completed Vancouver's four-goal comeback late in the third period, beating Stuart Skinner off the rush for the game-winner. It's the first goal and third point for Garland so far in the playoffs. He had 20 goals and 47 points in 82 regular-season games while working primarily in a bottom-six role.

Nikita Zadorov - Two points in Game 1 Zadorov logged a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Impact Zadorov scored the tying goal 13:47 into the third period, beating Stuart Skinner with a one-timed slapshot, before adding an assist less than a minute later on Conor Garland's game-winner. The 29-year-old Zadrov's been productive in the playoffs, tallying three goals and five points in seven games despite skating on Vancouver's third pairing. He totaled six goals and 20 points in 65 regular-season contests between the Canucks and Flames.

Elias Lindholm - Goal, assist in win Lindholm tallied a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Impact Lindholm set up Dakota Joshua's tally 53 seconds into the first period before adding a goal later in the frame, flipping a backhander past Stuart Skinner to cut the deficit to 4-2. It's the second multi-point game of the postseason for Lindholm, who now has three goals and five points in seven contests. He totaled 15 goals and 44 points in 75 regular-season games between Vancouver and Calgary.

Dakota Joshua - Three points in Game 1 Joshua tallied a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Impact Joshua got Vancouver on the board in the opening minute of the second period, beating Stuart Skinner off a rebound, before adding a pair of assists later in the contest. The goal was Joshua's first since he scored a pair in the opening game of Round 1 against Nashville. The 27-year-old winger now has three goals and seven points through seven games in the playoffs after tallying a career-high 32 points (18 goals, 14 assists) in 63 regular-season contests.

Arturs Silovs - Hangs on in comeback win Silovs stopped 14 of 18 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Oilers in Game 1.
Impact It was a rough start to the game for Silovs, who allowed four goals on Edmonton's first 14 shots. However, the Oilers mustered only eight shots over the final two frames as the Canucks rallied with four unanswered goals to claim a 5-4 series-opening win. Silovs has won three of four starts in the postseason, posting a .908 save percentage. However, Casey DeSmith seems likely to start Game 2 on Friday after he was healthy enough to back up Silovs on Wednesday.
