Vancouver Canucks News & Notes: 

With the Carolina Hurricanes adding Mikko Rantanen, they’re likely bailing out on J.T. Miller or Elias Pettersson. Vancouver is still searching for a suitor on the trade front, and things have narrowed to the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, and Boston Bruins as the prime contenders.

St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

St. Louis has lost back-to-back games, and the gap in the Central Division standings is growing. The Blues are in must-win territory to keep their postseason hopes alive. They’re currently 3 points out of a Wild Card position and 12 points back of third place in the Central.

Quinn Hughes leads the team in points with 54. First-year Canuck, Jake DeBrusk, leads the team in goals with 17.

St. Louis Blues
