Vancouver Canucks News & Notes:
Vancouver is coming off a 7-6 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Canucks currently sit six points out of the second wildcard spot in the Western Conference with two games in hand.
The Canucks are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games and enter their game against Winnipeg as their final stop in a six-game road trip.
Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
The Winnipeg Jets continue to suffer from the injury bug with Gabriel Vilardi and Neal Pionk still week-to-week while Rasmus Kupari is listed as day-to-day. As the Jets continue to juggle their depth options, the defensive pairing of Dylan Samberg and Luke Schenn has been a home run for Winnipeg since the trade deadline.
Coming off their 50th win of the season and Hellebuyck’s league-leading seventh shutout. The Jets became the first team in the NHL to reach the 50-win mark with a 4-0 win over New Jersey. Winnipeg also became the first team in the Western Conference to clinch a spot in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 3-2 overtime win over the Washington Capitals.

Players To Watch:
Vancouver Canucks
Jake DeBrusk is red hot right now. He’s on a four-game point streak and has a point in seven of his last 10 games. DeBrusk will look to extend his current scoring streak and add to his successful run over the past few weeks.
The former Winnipeg Jet defender Tyler Myers has made a handful of returns to Winnipeg and each time that he does, he seems to have a good game for the Canucks. Myers will also look to extend his point streak to two games tonight in Winnipeg.
Winnipeg Jets
After David Gustafsson returned to the Winnipeg Jets lineup, he scored on his first shift and shot against New Jersey. The Jets have had spread-out scoring thanks to players like Gustafsson and Alex Iafallo. Gustafsson will look to keep his name on the scoresheet against Vancouver to keep himself on the Jets’ radar.
Mark Scheifele snapped a nine-game scoring drought against New Jersey and has extended his point streak to four games. Scheifele has been a driving factor in the Jets’ play lately, and he will look to continue that against Vancouver.
Nikolaj Ehlers enters today’s game with a five-game point streak. The red hot Jets forward has been a constant for the team on the ice and will continue to play his style against Vancouver.
