Can the Canucks Make it 2-Wins in a Row Against the Nashville Predators?

Posted on by

The Vancouver Canucks are back in action tonight against the Nashville Predators. The Canucks won their previous game against the Toronto Maple Leafs 2 nights ago in Rogers Arena.

Saturday was packed with Leafs fans, but the Canucks were able to silence them in a 4-1 win, which surprised many, including myself. The story of the night was the 2 shorthanded goals the Canucks scored on the same penalty kill. Elias Pettersson netted the first shorthanded goal, then JT Miller netted the next almost a minute later. The Canucks fans were rocking after those two goals, which ended up being the game winners for the Canucks.

Tonight’s game versus Nashville will be the team’s 3rd home game of their 6 game homestand. It will also make the first time that a father-son duo will be opposing teams. Canucks’ assistant coach, Adam Foote, will face off against his son, Callan Foote, for the first time tonight. While it’s not an actual on-ice between them, it’ll still be a battle that these two will likely talk about for years down the line. Let’s see if the father can get the one-up on his son in their first meeting together. 

Tonight’s game will be Canucks defender Tyler Myers’ 900th career NHL game. This will be his 265th game as a member of the Vancouver Canucks. He previously played for the Buffalo Sabres and the Winnipeg Jets before the Canucks would sign him as a free agent in 2019.

The Canucks have confirmed that Arturs Silvos will get the start in goal tonight instead of Thatcher Demko. The game will be on at 7:30 pm (PST) tonight instead of the usual 7 pm (PST), so make sure to tune in at the correct time. The Canucks will face the Anaheim Ducks in Rogers Arena on Wednesday after tonight’s game.
