Vancouver Canucks forward Sam Gagner will be bumped up to the first line for Friday's game versus Minnesota. Jake Virtanen was the first guy getting a look following a season-ending injury to Brock Boeser, but he failed to impress on Wednesday against Arizona, finishing with no points and just one shot on goal in 18 minutes of play. Gagner, meanwhile, had five shots and ended a five-game pointless streak with an assist. He has seven goals and 24 points in 59 games in total with a team-worst minus-19 rating, so don't expect any fireworks from him.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
