Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver’s projected lineup for game against the Boston Bruins

Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks will take on the Boston Bruins as the team looks to make it two straight following a 4-0 shutout win over the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Florida Panthers, on Thursday.

Currently, the team is sitting in fourth place in a competitive Pacific Division, one point behind the third-place Edmonton Oilers, and two points behind the second-place Los Angeles Kings.

They will face a tough test in the Boston Bruins, who are amid a two-game skid that's seen them drop back-to-back games with just one goal.

Leading up to tonight's game, Vancouver has just one player listed on their injury report, Filip Hronek, who remains on the injured reserve list and is projected to miss the next eight weeks.

Looking at the odds for tonight's Canucks vs Bruins game, and upcoming games on Vancouver's schedule as they look to go back-to-back as divisional champs

Heading into tonight's game between Vancouver and Boston, the NHL community seems pretty divided on how they think things will play out. On both BallyBet and BetRiver, the Canucks have -120 odds to win, while the Bruins have -103 odds to win.

This means that it would take a $120 bet on Vancouver to win $100, while a $103 bet on Boston would win $100, assuming the odds remain consistent between now and puck drop.

As Vancouver looks to improve in the standings, the team will host the Colorado Avalanche on Monday, before hitting the road for a two-game stretch. While on the road, they will play the Utah Hockey Club on Wednesday, and the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday in a back-to-back.

The team will then head back home for a three-game stretch that will see them face the Ottawa Senators, San Jose Sharks, and Seattle Kraken, before wrapping up the month of December on the road.

***Please schedule for 10am ET Dec. 14***
