Status report

Othmann replaces Zary, a forward who will be a healthy scratch. … Hanley replaces fellow defenseman Kuznetsov and will play alongside Nemec instead of Bahl, who is now paired with Whitecloud. … Cooley makes his first start of the season. ... DeBrusk won’t play because of illness, according to Canucks coach Manny Malhotra, after skating as an extra forward in practice on Friday. … Vancouver held an optional morning skate but based on practice Friday, Cotter will move up from the fourth line to take the place of Rossi, who will skate at left wing on the first line, and Raty will enter the lineup after two games as a healthy scratch. … Merilainen will make his first start since being claimed off waivers from the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 25.
