Soucy will be eligible to face Edmonton in Game 5 on Thursday after serving his one-game suspension.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: Gets two helpers in victory
Rotowire
Soucy collected two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over Edmonton in Game 1.
The Canucks were down 4-1 after Zach Hyman scored at 13:11 of the second period, but Soucy helped out on the next two markers to get the comeback started.

He has three assists in seven playoff outings this year.
