Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver’s projected lineup for game against the Chicago Blackhawks | Mar. 15 2025

Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks will collide with the Chicago Blackhawks after snapping a two-game skid with a win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. While Vancouver is coming off a hard-fought win over the Flames, Chicago is in the midst of a three-game skid that most recently saw the team fall to the San Jose Sharks.

The Canucks are tied for fourth place in the Pacific Division alongside the Calgary Flames. Eight points currently separate the two teams from third place, which is currently occupied by the LA Kings.

Despite that, the Canucks are tied for the second wild-card spot in the West, making every game a high-stakes affair for the team as they look to secure a spot in the postseason via the Wild Card race.
