Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver’s projected lineup for game against the Carolina Hurricanes | Jan. 10, 2025

Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks will look to snap a three-game skid when they face the Carolina Hurricanes. While Vancouver's heading into tonight's game on a losing streak, the Hurricanes are fresh off a 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs this week.

The Canucks are sitting in fourth place in the Pacific Division with a record of 18-12-10 that's seen them go just 2-3-5 over their last ten. Although they were able to win the division last year, so far this season, it appears as though they're unlikely to repeat as divisional champs.

In the case of the Hurricanes, the team sits comfortably ahead of the fourth-place Blue Jackets with a record of 25-15-2 in the Metropolitan Division. Depending on whether the Devils pick up a win tomorrow, the Hurricanes could move into second place in the division with a win tonight.

When the Canucks take the ice tonight, they'll be without Filip Hronek, who remains on the injured reserve list, and Dakota Joshua, who is week-to-week with a leg injury.
