Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver’s projected lineup for Tuesday's game against the Buffalo Sabres | Jan. 21, 2025

Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks will look to make it two wins in a row after a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. However, the team hasn't posted back-to-back wins since late November, when it picked up a 4-3 win over the Sabres, and then followed it up with a 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Tonight, the Canucks will try to do it once more when they face off with a Sabres team eager to snap a two-game skid.

Heading into tonight's game, the Canucks are sitting in fifth place in the Pacific Division, one point behind the Calgary Flames. The Sabres are sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Division with 39 points, several wins behind the seventh-place Red Wings.
