In the second period, Edler pinched in the offensive zone and came into contact with Blues forward Jordan Kyrou, who then lost his balance.

Edler has four assists in nine post-season games since the league’s return to play. He was plus-1 with two shots on goal on Wednesday, and had skated 13:08 before being forced out, which was third-most among Canucks blue-liners at the time.
The 34-year-old defender did not return to the game — his club went on to defeat the Blues and take a 3-2 series lead heading into Game 6.
