Marc Crawford wouldn’t commit to naming a starting goalie after Tuesday’s practice, but how does he not pick former Canucks’ netminder Anders Nilsson?
7 p.m., Rogers Arena, TV: Sportsnet Pacific, TSN5; Radio: Sportsnet 650 AMThe Ottawa Senators have a fine rookie in Brady Tkachuk, brother of the guy the Canucks didn’t draft in 2016. He’s feisty, plays physical and can put the puck in the net.
Tkachuk is an intriguing comparison point with the Canucks’ wunderkind Elias Pettersson, who has an explosive shot and skating stride, balanced by an incredible playmaking ability.The Canucks play the first of their final seven home games tonight. They don’t go on the road again until all seven are complete. After their quick trek to Dallas and Chicago, you know they’ll be happy to be back in their own beds.
The Canucks, on the other hand, played Sunday in Dallas and Monday in Chicago. That’s a lot of travelling for a back-to-back. Will there be lingering impact?With both squads out of the playoff race, the players have nothing but their jobs to play for. Both teams have a number of faces on expiring contracts who will be looking to impress over the last three weeks of the NHL regular season.
