Fresh off the non-event yesterday's trade deadline proved to be, and in a toxic atmosphere of frustration and recrimination among some Canucks fans and media, the team took to the ice to continue playing out the string. Jim Benning and WIllie Desjardins promised Canucks fans would see more of the kids and in different situations through the rest of the year. The game began with Bo Horvat and Markus Granlund swapping lines. A practice injury to Jannik Hansen led Desjardins to try Emerson Etem with the Sedins, Derek Dorsett with Horvat and Linden Vey, and Yannick Weber on the fourth line with Jared McCann and Alex Burrows.
