Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver's projected lineup for game against New York Rangers | March 22, 2025

This weekend's NHL action will kick off with a bang when the Vancouver Canucks collide with the New York Rangers collide in a cross-conference matchup. After dropping a narrow overtime loss to the Blues earlier in the week, the Canucks will be looking to get back in the win column today in hopes of moving one step closer to a Wild Card spot in the postseason.

On the flip side, the Rangers are heading into today's game during a three-game skid that has seen the team struggle to find the back of the net.

After dropping back-to-back games against the Oilers and the Flames, the team narrowly lost a home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs in their most recent outing.

The stakes couldn't be higher with both teams looking to secure a Wild Card spot in the postseason.
