Canucks' Virtanen to debut Tuesday vs. Kings

Jake Virtanen is in.

The Vancouver Canucks will debut the rookie forward Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Kings in the second night of a back-to-back, the team announced.

Virtanen broke camp with the big club, but has served as the spare forward - and sat up in the press box - as Vancouver has played to a 2-1 record to begin the season.

The hard-nosed, talented forward was a force in the preseason, scoring two goals and adding two assists in his four appearances.
