The last time these two teams played each other, the Vancouver Canucks walked away victorious.
That cannot be the case this afternoon.
The Carolina Hurricanes are in a precarious position to say the least. With barely more than 2 months left in the regular season, every game from here on out is a must-win game.
The Vancouver Canucks are also aware of this, as they barrel on towards their first playoff appearance since the 2014-15 season.
The Carolina Hurricanes haven’t had a back-to-back playoff appearance since the 2000-01/2001-02 seasons. This needs to change, and the Canes need to kick it into gear and start stringing together some wins.
