The Vancouver Canucks face a turbulent stretch as they aim for a playoff spot, possibly without their star forward Elias Pettersson, who is sidelined with an upper-body injury.

Filip Chytil's situation is less optimistic; he has been sidelined with a concussion, and Tocchet expressed doubts about his return this season. Meanwhile, Nils Hoglander appears close to a return, participating in practice after an undisclosed injury. The Canucks have faced numerous injuries this season, affecting their lineup including captain Quinn Hughes and sniper Brock Boeser. Despite the challenges, goalie Thatcher Demko remains hopeful as the team pushes for wins against division rivals like the Seattle Kraken.
