Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver’s projected lineup for game against the Winnipeg Jets

Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks will look to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club on Sunday when they collide with the Winnipeg Jets. With two wins in the last three games, Vancouver will hope to get back in the win column tonight while facing off against a Winnipeg Jets team that's been on a tear this season.

Heading into tonight's game, Winnipeg will be looking to make it four in a row after wins over the Rangers, Stars and most recently the Kraken.

Currently, Vancouver's sitting in fourth place in the Pacific Division, eight points behind the third-place LA Kings. While the team is sitting several games outside of a guaranteed playoff berth, it is holding onto the second Wild Card spot in the West. However, St. Louis, Calgary and Utah are hot on the Canucks' heels.
