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.”
