Nikita Tolopilo Slated to Start Against Nashville

Nikita Tolopilo is expected to draw the home start against the Predators on Thursday. The goaltender did not appear in either of the Canucks' last two games but is returning to the crease following his usage during the team's optional morning skate. Across his last five outings, Tolopilo has posted a 1-2-2 record with a 3.29 GAA and an .892 save percentage.
