The Canucks are coming into this game with 84 points, a 37-28-10 record overall, and they are 17-14-6 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 5 game winning streak. Their last loss was against the Vegas Golden Knights while their 5 wins since then have come against the Golden Knights, the Arizona Coyotes, the San Jose Sharks, the Golden Knights again, and the Coyotes again in their last game. They won that game at home 7-1. They still have a game against the Dallas Stars on Monday night that needs to be played first so this will be the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them on Tuesday night. In their game against the Coyotes, Vasily Podkolzin and Alex Chiasson both scored 2 goals in that game while Sheldon Dries, Conor Garland, and Elias Pettersson each scored 1 goal in that one. Alex Chiasson and Sheldon Dries led the team in shots on net in that game with 4 each.

Their offense has scored 224 goals this season averaging 3 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 211 goals against them allowing 2.8 goals per game. 

 

 

The Senators are coming into this game playing much better in their recent games as they have won 2 of their last 3 and their loss came against the leafs in OT in their last game. They have been playing well against some good teams as they have a win against the Bruins as well but they are still not a good team as they have been one of the worst in the Eastern Conference all season and they are going up against a Canucks team that is still looking to keep their playoff hopes alive with a win here. The Canucks have been playing very well in their games as they have won their last 5 straight games and have been smashing some of the bad teams they have played. The Canucks have been heating up and they still have something to play for here but they need to win this game at home and the Senators are a team that they should beat on the puckline with how well they have been playing recently.

“He continues to get better. He’s playing against the league’s best and he’s not backing down. Again, he might be the best player out there — he’s one of them. There’s certainly some high-end players over there, but Timmy’s really coming.” - D.J. Smith on Stutzle after their loss against the Leafs on Saturday night.

 

 

“But that being said, it doesn’t really mean (much) to me if we don’t play in the playoffs. … I really just want to play in the playoffs, because when you score in the playoffs that’s when it means a lot.” - J.T. Miller after their win against the Coyotes on Thursday night.x
