Vancouver Canucks News & Notes:
The Vancouver Canucks are entering the post-trade deadline stretch of the NHL season, and they’re 2-6-2 in their last 10 games played. The Canucks didn’t make any major moves at the deadline, but they still look different from the way they did before the Friday deadline.
Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
Winnipeg looks slightly different from the way they did before Friday’s trade deadline. They moved Logan Stanley, Luke Schenn, and Tanner Pearson to Buffalo in separate transactions. The newest Winnipeg Jets, Isak Rosen and Jacob Bryson, are set to make their debut in Winnipeg tonight alongside the returning Josh Morrissey. Winnipeg is 5-2-3 in their last 10 games played, and they aim to continue their winning ways to chase a wildcard spot that they’re seven points out of.

Players To Watch:
Vancouver Canucks
Marco Rossi will be a key scoring contributor for Vancouver tonight as the Canucks aim to get a win over the Winnipeg Jets tonight. *Insert Rossi’s past five game point totals*
Winnipeg Jets
Mark Scheifele aims to give the Jets a boost tonight versus the Vancouver Canucks in a much-needed win for Winnipeg. If Scheifele and the top performers can get a good jump on the game, Winnipeg should be in good contention for a win.
