A key matchup with Utah certainly did not go according to plan, and now the Vancouver Canucks (31-25-11) have an even harder task ahead with the Winnipeg Jets (47-17-4) coming to town to play the Canucks at 7 p.m. at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night.

The Canucks are expected to be without injured forward Filip Chytil (concussion) for a second consecutive game, while winger Conor Garland is banged up and is considered to be a game-time decision.

With Garland potentially out of the lineup for the game against the Jets, forward Linus Karlsson has been called up from the AHL Abbotsford Canucks under emergency conditions.
