Virtanen added a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

This was Virtanen's second multi-point effort of the young season, and for good measure, it snapped a five-game drought. He'll look to keep rolling against the Oilers in Edmonton on Saturday.

Virtanen scored a goal on four shots, added two hits but went minus-3 in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Virtanen's goal in the second period put the Canucks on the board, but he was caught on the ice for all four Stars goals as well. The winger is up to six goals, nine points and 42 shots through 20 games.

Virtanen scored a goal on two shots and had two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Virtanen tipped home an Alexander Edler point shot to make it a 5-2 game with 61 seconds left in the third period. It was the fifth goal of the year for Virtanen, all of them coming over his last eight games. That's a nice little stretch of productivity for a player who had just two assists in his first eight games of 2019-20 and had 15 goals all of last season.

Virtanen scored a goal on four shots, picked up an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Two points while skating just 11:59 in the contest? Virtanen will take it, as he now owns seven points and a plus-5 rating in 14 appearances this season. He's not playing as physical as usual -- the winger has 17 hits this year compared to 154 in 70 contests last season. Fantasy owners would likely sacrifice a little of the rough stuff to see an increase in point production though.

Virtanen scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 7-2 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Make it goals in three straight games for Virtanen, who is up to five points and 15 hits in 11 games. He was also credited with the game-winning goal, scoring the third of five Canucks' tallies in the first period. Virtanen is known more for his physical skills than his scoring -- he's topped 20 points and 150 hits in each of the last two seasons.

Virtanen scored a goal and blocked three shots in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Virtanen had what would become a very valuable fifth goal for the Canucks, as the Capitals rallied to tie it in the third period. The 23-year-old winger is up to four points and 14 hits in 10 games this season. He was listed on the second line Friday, but skated only 9:17 in the contest -- on the ice, he's more of a bottom-six forward anyway.

Virtanen scored a goal on two shots and had two PIM in a 5-2 win over the Red Wings on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Virtanen's goal at 12:19 of the third period snapped a 2-2 tie and held up as the eventual winner. It was his first goal of the season and just his third point through nine games. Virtanen notched 15 goals and 25 points in 70 games last season with the Canucks, so don't look to him for much fantasy impact.

Virtanen picked up an assist in Tuesday's win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

That makes two points in Virtanen's last three outings. He's currently playing on the third line, which is where he will likely spend the bulk of the campaign. His stock has fallen over the years, but he posted 25 points in 70 games last season, and could push for 30 points in 2019-20.

Virtanen scored two goals, including the overtime winner, in Monday's 3-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The Canucks were heavily outshot in the contest, but they found some success against Flames goalie Cam Talbot. Virtanen's first goal came late in the third period, and he finished off a counterattack in overtime to complete the comeback. Virtanen produced career highs in goals (15) and points (25) last season, as well as adding 154 hits in 70 contests. The 23-year-old winger has occupied a bottom-six role throughout his career, but a positive showing in preseason could lead to a larger role to start the campaign.

Virtanen (lower body) will rejoin the action Thursday against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Virtanen missed two games in a row while battling a lower-body issue, but his return up front Thursday should provide Vancouver with some additional offensive firepower. Although the 22-year-old hasn't pieced together quite as strong of a campaign at the top level as the Canucks were hoping for when they drafted him sixth overall in 2014, he does have career-high marks for both points (25) and goals (15) this season.
