Vancouver Canucks at Carolina Hurricanes: TV, Radio, News, Predictions


After dropping both games in their weekend back-to-back, the Vancouver Canucks will try to end this road trip with a win against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Vancouver Canucks won a dramatic game against the Carolina Hurricanes in their second game of the season.
Vancouver outshot the Canes in the first period, yet the Hurricanes were able to put two goals on the board. After Carolina added a third goal, the Canucks stormed back to tie the game. Brandon Sutter scored the game winning goal in overtime.
Since that game, the Canucks have gone on to win several games in the same way. However, they haven’t won enough games to climb in the standings.
The Hurricanes have a similar story. However, they have one thing going for them tonight — they are 7-3-0 at home. Vancouver is finishing their second road trip of the year, and the results so far have been little better than their first one.

Ryan Miller looks like he has fully recovered from the tightness that kept him out of the lineup. He will start tonight. As a result, Thatcher Demko has been sent back to the Utica Comets.
