Canucks Game 9 vs. Devils Preview: Lineups, Notes, and How to Watch

In the last of three straight games against Metropolitan Division opponents, the Vancouver Canucks will host the visiting New Jersey Devils at the Rogers Arena at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday night. This will be the first of two meetings between these two teams this season, with the next coming on the road on March 24.

The Canucks have been very poor against the New Jersey Devils overall in recent seasons, going 2-6-2 in their last 10 games. It is worth noting, though, that the Canucks have been better against Wednesday night's opponents recently, compiling a record of 2-2-1 in the last five meetings.
