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.

Players To Watch

Vancouver Canucks

Elias Pettersson has recently been the dead center of trade rumors. After having an abysmal last three games, will he be able to get his game back on track amid the rumors getting louder?

Utah Hockey Club

Dylan Guenther is having a great season at nearly a point-per-game player. Four goals and eight assists in his last 10 games has helped Utah win some crucial games to keep themselves afloat in the standings.
