The Vancouver Canucks host the Nashville Predators on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. Here are some news and notes ahead of the game.
The Predators are struggling to score. Their power play is running at just 14.3 per cent, fifth-worst in the NHL, and they’re averaging just 2.73 goals for per game, sixth-worst in the NHL.Three of their four goals came from big names: Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg and Matt Duchene.Their sputtering offence hasn’t helped and their goalie has struggled. Juuse Saros has just a 89.8 save percentage so far this season.
Boeser skated with Tanner Pearson and Sheldon Dries on Friday, swapping in and out on right with Conor Garland. But the little Swede has been the Canucks’ best forechecker this season and so lining him up with Miller and Horvat does make for some interesting potential. He’s also a strong possession player, even if he’s struggled to finish, which Miller and Horvat could use to help improve their two-way play.Article contentThatcher Demko just hasn’t been himself so far this season and the defensive structure in front of him hasn’t helped.
