Vancouver Canucks News & Notes:

Vancouver is 1-4 in their last five games, and the trade chatter has grown louder in the last week. With the Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller saga continuing to pick up steam, will we see a trade before the Four Nations roster freeze?

With the continued lack of success, could head coach Rick Tocchet’s job be in jeopardy?

Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:

The Jets are dominating the Central Division this season and sit three points ahead of the Minnesota Wild. Over the last five games, the Jets have stumbled to a 2-3 record. While their blue line is depleted with injuries, will they be able to add serviceable pieces to help push for a Stanley Cup run?
