Vancouver Canucks News & Notes:

Vancouver has recently been the center of hockey trade rumors with Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller. Pettersson returned to the lineup last night in the loss to Carolina. How much longer does this go on in Vancouver before this issue is addressed?

Toronto Maple Leafs News & Notes:

Toronto is in a comfortable first in the Atlantic Division, their eyes now upon the trade deadline and adding another center to their roster.

Players To Watch:

Vancouver Canucks

Elias Pettersson is returning after missing a handful of games and being in the center of trade chatter, which doesn’t help production. Extra eyes will be on Pettersson to perform in the next 10.

Toronto Maple Leafs

Auston Matthews has missed a lot of time this season with an undisclosed injury. Despite that, he is in the top four in scoring for the Maple Leafs. Coming off a game where Matthews was a -6, I highly anticipate a big game from the star center.

Injury Report:

Vancouver Canucks

D Filip Hronek – AHL for conditioning
C Dakota Joshua – Week to week

Toronto Maple Leafs

C Calle Jarnkrok – IR – Month to month
G Anthony Stolarz – Out for two games
D Jake McCabe – Out indefinitely
