The Vancouver Canucks will try to avoid tying a franchise-record ten-game losing streak tonight against the New York Rangers

The Vancouver Canucks franchise record for consecutive losses is 10. A loss tonight will tie that mark.

The stakes are high for head coach Willie Desjardins. He may need a win tonight to save his job.

It won’t be easy. Tonight the Canucks face the New York Rangers, who can claim first place in the NHL with a win.

The Rangers have scored a league-high 55 goals, and have a league-best goal differential of plus-26. Someone forgot to tell them that their Stanley Cup window had closed. They are the class of the NHL right now.

Lineup News:

The Canucks will go with the same forward lineup as they did against the Islanders. This means that Jake Virtanen will sit for a second straight game. Jack Skille and Michael Chaput will both play.

Jacob Markstrom will start with Ryan Miller having played last night.

The biggest news is on defense: rookie Troy Stecher returns, while Philip Larsen will be a healthy scratch.
