Canadiens lineup tonight: Montreal’s projected lineup for game against the Vancouver Canucks | Mar. 11 2025

The Montreal Canadiens will collide with the Vancouver Canucks on the road on Tuesday. Last week, the team played three games - won one and suffered defeats to the Oilers and the Flames.

On the other hand, Vancouver (29-23-11) is heading into the Canadiens vs. Canucks game after a loss to the Dallas Stars, which snapped the team's two-game win streak.

The Habs (30-27-6) are fifth in the Atlantic Division, five points behind the fourth-place Ottawa Senators. The team is looking to make strides in the Wild Card race, where just four points separate them from a spot in the postseason.

Vancouver is in a similar position, with the team just out of reach of a Wild Card spot in the West. However, a win on Tuesday could see them move into contention.
