Feburary 28: away vs New Jersey Devils: This will be the Canucks third game after the Olympic break and second of a four game eastern road trip. The game in New Jersey will be the second of a back-to-back with the first game being across the Hudson River against the New York Rangers. It will also feature Quinn Hughes facing off against his brother Jack for the third time in their careers.  Jack and the Devils are 2-0 against Quinn and the Canucks and this is the first of two meetings this season with the Devils making the trip to B.C. on March 15. Let round one of the Hughes Bowl commence!

March 9: home vs Montreal Canadiens: Tyler Toffoli and the Montreal Canadiens make (thankfully) their only visit to Vancouver this season. Rogers Arena will have tons of fans wearing Habs jerseys so hopefully the Canucks don’t give those folks much to cheer about.

April 7 : away vs Arizona Coyotes: This will be an emotional one for Ekman-Larsson as he makes his return to Glendale after spending 11 seasons there. Expect a video tribute and some tears from OEL and from the fans not dressed as empty seats.

April 28: home vs Los Angeles Kings: The Canucks final home of the season and hopefully this game isn’t the last home game of the season.

Canucks: Elias Pettersson ranks as the 38th best player in the NHL. dark. Next
