The well rested St. Louis Blues bring their perfect record to Vancouver in a battle of unbeaten Western Conference rivals. I know it’s a weird statement, but it’s true... the Blues haven’t lost so far this season! All kidding aside, this will be the first opportunity for the Canucks to play against a playoff calibre team this season!
The Good Guys
There’s no shortage of news surrounding the Canucks in tonight’s matchup. The signing of UBC product Matt Hewitt to backup Jacob Markstrom is the biggest item. Miller is being held out of the lineup because of ‘tightness’, which necessitated the emergency signing of Hewitt.
