Canucks to resume play Friday, North Division to play through mid-May

The Vancouver Canucks will reopen their facilities Sunday and return to action April 16 against the Edmonton Oilers, pending Saturday's COVID-19 test results.

In addition to those changes, two other games will be played on the same dates as originally planned, but with new start times.
