The Vancouver Canucks are set to begin a five-game road trip with a matchup against the Montréal Canadiens, looking to bounce back from a recent loss to the Nashville Predators. The Canucks hope to welcome back key players Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes as they prepare to face a Canadiens team that has won four of its last five games.

To secure a victory, Vancouver must focus on maintaining possession and minimizing turnovers, as the Canadiens' speedy roster is dangerous in creating scoring opportunities. Defensively, Vincent Desharnais will be crucial, particularly after showcasing his improved form in recent games.
