Vancouver Canucks News & Notes
Vancouver has been aflame since Elliotte Friedman floated trade theories between the Canucks and Sabres. Since then, things haven’t calmed down, and Jim Rutherford is not known for his patience.
Utah Hockey Club News & Notes
Utah is coming into this evening’s game red hot, winning four of their last five. While they currently sit just outside of a playoff position, if Utah is able to keep the winning ways alive, they’ll have meaningful hockey well into the New Year.
