New York Islanders vs. Vancouver Canucks: De Haan activated, Prince straight to the top of the charts

BOOM, more like Prince of the First Line.

Calvin de Haan has been activated from injured reserve and new acquisition Shane Prince, my dearly beloved, is gathered here with the team to be the newest New York Islanders first liner as they visit the Vancouver Canucks and try to resume a long and winning western road trip.

The Canucks are 14 points behind a playoff-lock position in the Pacific and eight points behind the final wild card spot. They made waves for a little while in the Pacific, which as a group began the season so poorly, but now it's quite clear this will be playoff miss of a season.
