After losing a key matchup against Mikko Rantanen and Dallas in rather convincing fashion, the Vancouver Canucks (29-23-11) run it back on Tuesday night with a home showdown with the Montreal Canadiens at 7 p.m. at Rogers Arena.
Canucks captain Quinn Hughes will miss yet another game after practicing in a non-contact jersey. After Sunday night's debacle, the 'A' will move from Marcus Pettersson to Derek Forbort, not Brock Boeser. Aside from this, the Cnaucks will run a slightly tweaked lineup, with Dakota Joshua and Conor Garland being demoted to the fourth line.
