Vancouver Canucks' projected lines have been revealed ahead of a must-win game at Rogers Arena tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights, who defeated Calgary in overtime last night.
The Vancouver Canucks are coming off a big win on Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks where rookie defenseman Elias Pettersson scored his first NHL goal and today, they'll look to keep rolling as they host the Vegas Golden Knights.
Entering action on Sunday, the Canucks sit just six points of the Minnesota Wild for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference and we now know how Rick Tocchet's group will line up tonight.
Vancouver Canucks' projected lines for Sunday's game revealed
This afternoon, with about six hours until puck drop at Rogers Arena, Daniel Wagner of Vancouver is Awesome shared the team's projected lines for tonight's game against Vegas.
As one would expect coming off a big 6-2 win, it doesn't appear that Rick Tocchet will be making any changes to his forward lines or defensive pairings for Sunday's game.
The lone change for tonight's tilt sees Finnish netminder Kevin Lankinen get the start between the pipes after Thatcher Demko stopped 30 of 32 shots on Saturday.

With a win tonight and a Minnesota Wild loss against Dallas this afternoon, the Vancouver Canucks will pull within four points of a Stanley Cup Playoff spot with five games left in the season.
Puck drop for tonight's contest is set for 7 pm PT and can be viewed on Sportsnet Pacific in the Vancouver region.
