Vancouver Canucks to Resume Regular Season on April 16th

NEW YORK(April 10, 2021) - The National Hockey League announced today that, pending today's test results, the Vancouver Canucks will re-open their facilities for practice on Sunday, April 11, with a return to game play on Friday, April 16 vs. Edmonton. The decision was made by the League's, NHLPA's and Club's medical groups.

A total of seven Canucks games have been postponed - March 31 through April 14. The League has rescheduled those games with the team's 56-game schedule now ending on Sunday, May 16.
The Canucks' organization has, and will continue to follow, all recommended guidelines aimed at protecting the health and safety of its Players, staff and community at large as set by the NHL, local, provincial and federal agencies.
The NHL will continue to assess the progression of the regular season before announcing definitive dates for the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With the newly revised end date for the regular season for the North Division, it is possible that the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the East, Central and West Divisions could open a few days earlier than the North Division.
