Tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET the Rangers will cross sticks with a team that has fewer points than they do in the standings: the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver is 2-6-2 in their last 10 games and come in to tonight’s game hoping to avoid their third-consecutive loss.
The Canucks’ offense is led by rookie Elias Pettersson who has 26 goals and 32 assists in 58 games this season. He and Bo Horvat are the players to watch if and when the Canucks go on the power play. Together, they have 14 power play goals this year for Vancouver’s underwhelming power play.
