Vancouver Canucks game preview

The Canucks should be worried about their form as they battle for a playoff spot. Vancouver holds the second wild-card slot in the Western Conference but needs consistent wins to nail down their postseason ambitions. A 3-2 away win against the LA Kings was followed by a 5-2 loss against the Anaheim Ducks.
The Canucks have looked leaky since the 4 Nations break and will aim to rectify that here.
Vancouver Canucks injuries
Noah Juulsen and Thatcher Demko are both currently sidelined for the Canucks due to their ongoing injury concerns. Juulsen has been ruled out for around 12 weeks after having a lower-body procedure on Friday, while Demko is still out with a lower-body injury.
Seattle Kraken game preview

The Kraken recorded a 2-1 win against the Florida Panthers in their return from the 4 Nations break but followed that up with back-to-back losses to the Lightning (4-1) and a stinging 7-2 loss to the Blues. The Kraken will be hopeful of capitalizing against the Canucks' poor defensive record but will need to tend to their own defense if they are to win this one.
Seattle Kraken injuries
Yanni Gourde is currently the only player sidelined for the Kraken due to having a sports hernia repaired in late January, and his return date is unclear.
Canucks vs. Kraken: Key players
Defenseman Quinn Hughes continues to have a great season for the Canucks, scoring 14 goals and providing 46 assists since the start of the season. Getting him going will be key for Vancouver, while shutting him down will be a huge part of Seattle's game plan.
Jared McCann and Chandler Stephenson have been the star players for the Kraken so far this season as the pair have scored 83 points between them. McCann leads the line with 43 points while Stephenson follows him closely with 40. If Seattle is to take this one, it will likely come via one, or both, of McCann and Stephenson.
