Vancouver Canucks News and Notes:<\/p>\n
The Vancouver Canucks lost another very winnable game against they\u2019re Western Conference rival, the Calgary Flames, dropping their Sunday matchup 5-2 in their hometown Rogers Arena. Now they head down south to the sunny beaches in Anaheim to take on the red-hot Ducks. The Vancouver Canucks will be going down to California, hobbled though, after Kevin Lankinen is out for personal reasons, as Jiri Patera takes over the crease. In what has been a red-hot few weeks for the heavy hitters on the Canucks, the Flames were able to hold Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Conor Garland, and Kiefer Sherwood completely off the scoreboard as Filip Hronek and Quinn Hughes pot the lone two Canucks goals and Jake DeBrusk and Kevin Lankinen cover the assists.<\/p>\n
Anaheim Ducks News and Notes:<\/p>\n
The Ducks return to the ice for the first time in four days after their massive 4-3 overtime victory over the juggernaut Vegas Golden Knights. It was a great mix of production up and down the lineup for one of the best young teams in the league. Go to shots like Cutter Gauthier and Troy Terry were able to capitalize as well as sneaky contributors like Jackson LaCombe and Olen Zellweger were able to get one past Akira Schmid as well, propelling the Ducks to come back from 2-0 early. They\u2019re coming into tonight\u2019s matchup winning three of their last four games, going from an intense overtime victory to a top team in the West to a struggling, injury-riddled Canucks team, itching to get back in the playoff race.<\/p>\n

Vancouver Canucks:<\/p>\n
One of the most under-discussed factors going into tonight\u2019s matchup is the performance by Jiri Patera. He is fairly unproven as the third string to one of the best goaltending tandems in the league. He is coming off his first appearance and only appearance with the Vancouver Canucks on November 17th against the Florida Panthers, where he let in seven goals on forty shots. Safe to say, he didn\u2019t get that much help from the defense in that game with forty shots on goal, but if Vancouver wants to stay competitive against a very stacked Ducks team, Patera needs to play more consistently.<\/p>\n
Anaheim Ducks:<\/p>\n
In his first full season with the Anaheim Ducks, Beckett Sennecke has been on a tear, gathering seven goals and nine assists while also looking to continue a four game point streak in tonight\u2019s game. He\u2019s found a home on the top line with other young hot rods in Cutter Gauthier and Leo Carlsson. Speaking of which, both of his linemates are in the top twenty in points so far this season, with Gauthier at 17th with 26 points and Carlsson sitting at 6th with 29 points, wrapping up one of the most productive lines in hockey currently and a very imposing threat for a roughed-up Canucks team.<\/p>\n
