They currently sit in the top spot in the Pacific division, and they added even more to their roster at the NHL Trade Deadline, adding veteran defensive stalwart John Carlson from the Washington Capitals. The Ducks are red-hot as well, going 3-0-1 in their last four games, as the look for even more momentum in tonight\u2019s game to widen the gap between them and the Vegas Golden Knights or the Edmonton Oilers. Not to mention Radko Gudas\u2019 suspension has been lifted as of yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver Canucks News and Notes:<\/p>\n<p>After a 1-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks are officially the first team to be eliminated from NHL Playoff contention. The Canucks currently sit 13 points behind the next lowest team in the Calgary Flames, so now the Vancouver Canucks can play risk free hockey and continue to work on team chemistry after making a lot of moves at the NHL Trade Deadline last month, without losing odds going towards the NHL Draft Lottery and the likelihood of the Canucks getting the first overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Anaheim Ducks Projected Lines:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Kreider-Carlsson-Terry<br \/>Killorn-Granlund-Sennecke<br \/>Viel-Poehling-Gauthier<br \/>McTavish-Washe-Harkins<\/p>\n<p>LaCombe-Trouba<br \/>Mintyukov-Carlson<br \/>Zellweger-Moore<\/p>\n<p>Dostal<br \/>Husso<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver Canucks Projected Lines:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">O\u2019Connor-E.

Leo Carlsson grabbed two assists, Chris Kreider potted the first goal of the game and tacked on an assist as well, and Troy Terry potted two goals, including the overtime game-winner. With such a young and deep forward core in the Anaheim locker room, every line is a threat, and when their opponents put their attention on every line, that\u2019s where Anaheim\u2019s top line can take advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver Canucks:<\/p>\n<p>Marco Rossi continues his masterful point streak, grabbing an assist on the lone goal by Filip Hronek in Saturday\u2019s game against the Blues. That assist grows Rossi\u2019s point streak to five games and adds ten points over that stretch. Elias Pettersson is finally starting to come into his own as well, after a slow start coming back from the Winter Olympics break, scoring three points in the last three games, including an assist on Hronek\u2019s goal last game as well.<\/p>\n<p>Injury Report:<\/p>\n<p>Anaheim Ducks:<\/p>\n<p>LW Ross Johnston \u2013 Day to Day<br \/>G Petr Mrazek \u2013 IR<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver Canucks:<\/p>\n<p>D Pierre-Olivier Joseph \u2013 IR<br \/>C Filip Chytil \u2013 IR<br \/>D Derek Forbort \u2013 LTIR<br \/>G Thatcher Demko \u2013 IR<\/p>\n<p>Next Game:<\/p>\n<p>Anaheim Ducks: Thursday, March 26 at Calgary Flames \u2013 9 pm ET<br \/>Vancouver Canucks: Thursday, March 26 vs. Los Angeles Kings \u2013 10 pm ET<\/p>\n<p>\tDiscover more from Inside The Rink<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anaheim Ducks (39-27-4, 82 pts) at Vancouver Canucks (21-40-8, 50 pts)Venue: Rogers ArenaDate: Tuesday, March 24thTime: 10:00 pm&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520325,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[462],"tags":[3345,7704,229,26,1542,146,2318,4238,5,281,3040,1486,4,465,591,466,5573,60,548,9464,84,3689,39,109,2787],"class_list":["post-520324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl-draft","tag-2025-26-nhl-season","tag-2026-nhl-draft","tag-buffalo-sabres","tag-calgary-flames","tag-chris-kreider","tag-edmonton-oilers","tag-elias-pettersson","tag-filip-hronek","tag-hockey","tag-john-carlson","tag-leo-carlsson","tag-marco-rossi","tag-nhl","tag-nhl-draft","tag-nhl-draft-lottery","tag-nhl-entry-draft","tag-nhl-game-preview","tag-nhl-playoffs","tag-nhl-trade-deadline","tag-radko-gudas","tag-st-louis-blues","tag-troy-terry","tag-vegas-golden-knights","tag-washington-capitals","tag-winter-olympics"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116284907070550116","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
