Things were looking grim for the Vancouver Canucks going into this game against the Minnesota Wild. They are missing their top pairing of Chris Tanev (foot injury) and Alex Edler (out for 4 to 6 weeks with a fractured finger) and relying on a very young, defensive core to get them through upcoming 3 game homestand. With Phil Larsen back in the lineup after missing 9 games due to a virus, we saw the following pairings tonight:
