Canucks Game 8 vs. Hurricanes Preview: Lineups, Notes, and How to Watch
The Canucks are currently riding a four-game win streak, including three straight wins in regulation.
In the second of three straight games against Metropolitan Division opponents, the Vancouver Canucks will host the visiting Carolina Hurricanes at the Rogers Arena at 7 p.m. on Monday night. This will be the first of two meetings between these two teams this season, with the next coming on the road on Jan. 10.
The Canucks have played pretty well against the Hurricanes in recent seasons, going 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. Vancouver has only so-so more recently against Carolina, with a 3-2-0 record in the last five meetings. It has not been complete domination, but still a winning record nonetheless.
Projected Canucks Game Lineup
Jake DeBrusk - J.T. Miller - Brock Boeser
Nils Hoglander - Elias Pettersson - Conor Garland
Danton Heinen - Teddy Blueger - Kiefer Sherwood
Arshdeep Bains - Pius Suter - Daniel Sprong
Quinn Hughes - Filip Hronek
Carson Soucy - Tyler Myers
Erik Brannstrom - Vincent Desharnais
Kevin Lankinen has been confirmed as the Canucks' starter vs. the Hurricanes and will make a whopping fifth consecutive start for Vancouver; he's 4-0-1 in his five starts this season.
Projected Hurricanes Game Lineup
Andrei Svechnikov - Sebastian Aho - Jack Roslovic
Eric Robinson - Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Martin Necas
Jordan Martinook - Jordan Staal - Seth Jarvis
Jackson Blake - Jack Drury - William Carrier

Pyotr Kochetkov is expected to duel with Lankinen between the pipes on Saturday. Conor Garland, Teddy Blueger, and Kiefer Sherwood are all on points streaks of three games or longer, and considering the Hurricanes' preferred style of play, the Canucks' grinders will assuredly be a key to victory on Monday night.
