After losing 3 in a row, The Canucks have won 2 straight on the road and will wrap up the trip tonight in Chicago. Vancouver goalie Kevin Lankinen made 26 saves for his first career shutout last time out in a 3-0 win over Philadelphia.
Chicago Blackhawks Notes:
Chicago needs to stay out of the penalty box to win. When the Blackhawks have more penalty minutes than their opponents, Chicago is 0-3-1 on the season.

Players To Watch:
Vancouver Canucks – Elias Pettersson has gone more than 30 consecutive games, including playoffs, without a 5 v 5 goal. Needless to say, if Vancouver is going to make a deep playoff run, this needs to change.
Chicago Blackhawks – Philipp Kurushev will be a healthy scratch due to his poor performance in a 4-2 loss to Buffalo on Saturday. Kurushev took ownership of his play and said, “I’m going to be better.”
