Eichel, who missed four games with an upper-body injury, returned for Vegas’ regular-season finale ahead of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, where they will play the Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference First Round.

Victor Olofsson had a goal and assist, Cole Schwindt scored his first NHL goal, and Akira Schmid made 16 saves for the Golden Knights (50-22-10), who were coming off a 5-4 shootout loss at the Calgary Flames on Tuesday after clinching the Pacific Division on Saturday.

In addition to Eichel’s return, defenseman Alex Pietrangelo played after sitting out in Calgary, but Vegas rested forwards Mark Stone, Ivan Barbashev, Brandon Saad and Tomas Hertl, and defensemen Zach Whitecloud and Noah Hanafin.

Pius Suter scored for the Canucks (38-30-14), who went 3-1-1 to close the season after being eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs on April 9. Kevin Lankinen made 19 saves on 20 shots through two periods before being replaced by Nikita Tolopilo, who made six saves on eight shots in relief.

Suter put the Canucks ahead 1-0 at 8:23 of the first period, continuing to build on his NHL career high with his 25th goal of the season by tapping in a rebound at the edge of the crease after a high Conor Garland shot from the left face-off dot.

Olofsson tied it 1-1 at 18:33 of the second period, one-timing a pass from William Karlsson off the boards over the glove-side shoulder of Lankinen from the left face-off dot.

Pavel Dorofeyev put Vegas ahead 2-1 at 7:59 of the third with his 35th goal of the season when he shot past Tolopilo’s glove from the left dot.

Eichel made it 3-1 at 10:45 with a deflection in the low slot off Brett Hutton’s shot.

Schwindt scored an empty-net goal for the 4-1 final at 18:28.
