Because Quinn Hughes is returning, we should see some changes on the blue line, Hughes will return to form his pairing with Filip Hronek, while Marcus Pettersson will play with Tom Willander on the second pairing and the third duo will feature Elias Nils Pettersson and Tyler Myers.
Thatcher Demko will be getting back to back starts for the Canucks. and Puck drop is expected to be at 7:30 Eastern standard time.
