The 25-year-old has 19 goals and 19 assists in 64 games this season.

The Canucks also announced that the team had recalled Jack Rathbone from the Abbotsford Canucks on an emergency basis.

Zucker, 30, has not played since March 31 due to an illness. McGinn, 28, has not played since sustaining an upper-boy injury against the Vegas Golden Knights on March 11. 

Sullivan also spoke about players who missed yesterday's practice due to illness, Kasperi Kapanen, Anthony Angello, and Danton Heinen.

"They are feeling better today. We weren't sure how that was going to happen overnight, but they skated this morning and I anticipate them being ready to play."
