Canucks to have crucial outing with the Kings: The stakes are high
The Vancouver Canucks will wrap up their three-game road trip tonight against the Los Angeles Kings and will have an opportunity to clinch home-ice advantage for the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
According to Rob Williams of Daily Hive, the Canucks will clinch home-ice advantage for the first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs if they defeat the Los Angeles Kings in any fashion tonight.
"The #Canucks can clinch home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs with a win of any kind tonight in LA." Williams said.
He added, "If Canucks win tonight, they'll be guaranteed a top-two spot in the Pacific Division, which gives them home ice in Round 1.
Clinching the division will take more time."
Including tonight, the Canucks have six games remaining in the 2023-24 regular season, four of which come against divisional opponents and features a game next Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers in what could decide the winner of the Pacific Division.
Puck drop for tonight's game between the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings is set for 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET and can be viewed nationally on Hockey Night in Canada on Sportsnet 1 and CityTV.
