The Vancouver Canucks host the Calgary Flames in preseason hockey on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET. However, it's a back-to-back, so none of the players who played on Tuesday will be in the lineup to face the Flames.
The Canucks are coming off a 3-1 home win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night before hosting the Calgary Flames.

"Yeah, I thought the good effort little sloppy at times. You know, some turnovers, but power play was good, getting a couple goals,” Canucks coach Tocchet said.
"I like the effort, but we're poking around the puck a little bit too much, and I think we have to get that summer hockey a little bit out of it. You got to go through people. You don't kill people. I thought we were a little bit, you know, we didn't manage the game in the second period."
Ahead of the preseason game on Wednesday, here's what the Canucks lineup could look like.
Predicted Oilers lineup tonight
Forwards
- Jake DeBrusk - J.T. Miller - Daniel Sprong
- Kiefer Sherwood - Ty Mueller - Nate Smith
- Phillip Di Giuseppe - Teddy Blueger - Danila Klimovich
- Arshdeep Baines - Tristen Nielsen - Vitali Kravtsov
Vancouver will likely play a couple of regular players like Jake DeBrusk and J.T. Miller. With the Canucks having a back-to-back, none of the players who played on Tuesday will be in the lineup tonight, which will impact who's available to play.
Defenseman
- Quinn Hughes - Filip Hronek
- Carson Soucy - Jett Woo
- Guillaume Brisebois - Noah Juulsen
Quinn Hughes and Filip Hronek should be in the lineup on Wednesday after not playing on Tuesday. The bottom-pairing is two defensemen who are looking to crack the Canucks roster.
Goalies
- Kevin Lankinen
- Nikita Tolopilo
Kevin Lankinen signed a one-year deal with Vancouver due to Thatcher Demko still being injured. Lankinen should get a start to get into game action and shake some rust off.
