The sums: The Canucks have to start collecting victories. Why not against the second (?) Worst team in the NHL? Nevertheless, the Canucks are currently two different stories – they are a team that generally has to struggle after they have lost six out of 10. But they also won three out of five and exceeded the opposition. They create much more than in the past few months. Is it a trend? You hope for sure.
The story: The Blackhawks beat the Canucks twice this season with 6: 3 and 4: 1. Chicago has just lost against San Jose and is a total fire fire.
The hope: Quinn Hughes is back. Elias Pettersson plays better. The Canucks create more recordings. You should be in the upswing.

The fear: Trap game. Chicago has no business in this case, so of course you see how you have a good game.
The top weapons: Pettersson finally hit. He scored three goals in Calgary on Wednesday and in four games. On the other hand, Brock Boeser has not communicated anything in 10 games, and the Canucks need him to start the goal again.
The wounded: Canucks: Thatcher Demko (Lower Body, week to week), Conor Garland (“blasted up”, day by day). Blackhawks: Laurent Brossoit (knee, for the season).
The quote: “Obviously it's a big game for us. But the next 17 will all be big. “ – Quinn Hughes about the task in front of him and his teammates.
The latest: Rick Tocchet said on Friday that he would not have to decide who would begin in goal on Saturday because there is a back back against Utah on Sunday against Utah.
The projected list:
Joshua-Pettersson-Gergeland
O'Connor-Chytil-Lekkerimäki
Rubble-tuster boeer
Höglander-Blueger-Sherwood
Hughes-Ronek
M. Pettersson-myers
E. Pettersson-Forsbort
Lankines
The prediction: The Blackhawks really stink. The Canucks will win 4-1.
