The Canucks and the Preds are both in the process of rebuilding, and the Canucks have not had a great season thus far.
Elias Pettersson is having a phenomenal season, with a team-leading 78 points and 29 goals. Quinn Hughes, the assists leader, has 54. J.T. Miller and Andrei Kuzmenko are both significant scoring threats. But the team around them has mostly struggled, with key players leaving in trade and both Thatcher Demko and Collin Delia having a tough time in goal.
