Red Wings News Roundup: Canucks in town, high-end prospect activated

The Detroit Red Wings' shooting woes should end on Thursday night when the Vancouver Canucks roll into town. Vancouver is a team with two good goaltenders in Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen, but they're a rebuilding team that can't stop anyone.

The Canucks have a slew of key players injured, and they recently traded one of their best playmakers, Quinn Hughes, to the Minnesota Wild. For the Wings, there is no excuse: they need to make a statement.

Vancouver has allowed 1,234 shots on goal this season, well over the NHL average of 1,187, for an average of 29.
