Status report
Laferriere was injured in a 1-0 loss at the Edmonton Oilers on Monday; there has so far been no update on the forward's timeline to return. ... The Kings sent Helenius to Ontario of the American Hockey League on Tuesday to play one game, then recalled him Wednesday. … The Canucks made changes to all four lines following a 6-1 loss at the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, including Lekkerimaki moving from the fourth to the first line in Boeser’s spot. … Juulsen will be a game-time decision; the defenseman did not take part in Vancouver's morning skate Thursday because he “tweaked something,” coach Rick Tocchet said. ... Desharnais, who has been scratched the past two games, would likely come out if Juulsen plays.
