Vancouver Canucks News & Notes:
With the Canucks officially eliminated from the playoffs, all eyes turn toward the next season. There is still uncertainty around head coach Rick Tocchet, and there are plenty of roster questions left unanswered. This offseason will be another organization changing summer as the Canucks look to move on from players like Brock Boeser and Thatcher Demko.
Colorado Avalanche News & Notes:
Gabriel Landeskog was loaned to the AHL Colorado Eagles for a conditioning stint. He last played with the Avalanche back in 2022. With two games left after this evening, it’s unlikely Landeskog will see the ice during the regular season. If he makes his return in the first round of the playoffs, the Avalanche will get an immense boost.
