Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver's projected lineup for game against Nashville Predators | Nov 17, 2024

Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks will host the Nashville Predators at 10 p.m. ET. While Vancouver finished last season atop the Pacific Division, the team has struggled to find the same success so far this season.

The division is incredibly competitive, with the Golden Knights sitting in first place while the Kings, Flames, Canucks and Oilers all battle it out to decide the standings.

On the flip side, the Predators head into tonight's game with one of the worst records in the Central Division as the team struggles to string together wins.

Ahead of tonight's game, Vancouver has several familiar faces on the injury report, with netminder Thatcher Demko remaining on the injured reserve list. In addition, Derek Forbort remains week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Brock Boeser is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury after a hit in last Thursday's game against the Kings. Whether or not he suits up tonight will likely be a game-time decision.

Ahead of tonight's game, the Canucks lines are projected to be as follows:

Forwards:

1. LW Pius Suter - C J.T. Miller - RW Jonathan Lekkerimaki
2. LW Jake DeBrusk - C Elias Pettersson - RW Conor Garland
3. LW Danton Heinen - C Teddy Blueger - RW Kiefer Sherwood
