@Chicago Blackhawks (16-10-4) Sunday, December 13th
Leading Scorer: Patrick Kane (19 Goals, 45 Points)
Keys to the Game:
- Time to play #StreakBreaker
- Keep the fourth line rolling even with Dorsett missing
- Sedin-ery chases G Corey Crawford
The Canucks have done well against the rival Blackhawks in recent history. They need to make sure that their road trip starts on the right foot, so it does not become like the last Eastern road trip when hell broke loose on the Canucks.

Remember when Vancouver stopped the Montreal Canadiens from their 10-0-0 start? It is time to play streak breaker again. Let us hope to break Patrick Kane’s 25-game point streak.
With Corey Crawford pitching a shut-out in his outing last Friday, the Sedins will have to do their share of goal scoring. The last time around, Daniel Sedin notched a hat trick and Henrik had five points himself. The Canucks will look to their leaders to rattle Crawford’s mask a couple of times.
