Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver's projected lineup for game against Boston Bruins | Nov 26, 2024

The Vancouver Canucks are on the road to face the Boston Bruins looking to make it three straight wins. While Boston is heading into tonight's game with a winning streak, Vancouver aims to start one after picking up a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday to snap a two-game skid.

After winning the Pacific Division last year, the Canucks entered this season with high hopes and had their sights set on making a deep playoff run. However, they have struggled to find consistency. They are fifth in the division with a 10-6-3 record.

Per DailyFaceoff, the team will be without several key players tonight. In addition to Thatcher Demko who is on the injured reserve list, Derek Forbort will also be out due to a lower-body injury. Additionally, JT Miller is away from the team with a personal matter, while Brock Boeser is listed as day-to-day.
