Status report
DeBrusk is expected to play after missing practice Monday because of a lower-body injury sustained while blocking a shot by Boeser in a preseason game against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. “Everyone is available,” Canucks coach Manny Malhotra said. … Nugent-Hopkins, a forward, was injured at the end of practice Monday and will not play; Draisaitl was moved to second-line center after he’d been practicing with McDavid. Jones is expected to take Nugent-Hopkins’ spot in the lineup.
