The Vancouver Canucks keep changing their mind on what to do with Jake Virtanen.
At the end of their eastern road trip, he was assigned to the Utica Comets after being a healthy scratch for the Canucks in the last two games.
Everyone felt that Virtanen would probably benefit from an extended stay in the AHL. However, the Canucks expressly said he would only stay in Utica long enough to play their weekend back-to-back.
Sure enough, on Sunday Vancouver recalled him. Yet he was a healthy scratch again for Tuesday’s game against the New York Rangers.
