It's another one of those games. The Canucks play a Columbus team that is fighting for a playoff spot. They are 4 points out of 8th and really can't afford to lose any. With a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 and a 3-1-1 record in their last 5 they are putting up a solid fight. How about 6 wins and 1 loss in their last 7 road games? They're not out of it yet.
The Canucks will have to match the BJ's intensity. Detroit is about to pull within 3 of Vancouver for top spot in the West. Maybe that will add a little fuel to the fire. It should be an excellent game. Establish dominance, Vancouver. That includes you, Kesler and Raymond. Snap out of your offensive slumbers. More after the jump.

-The Jackets were going to give newcomer Craig Rivet some practice time with the team before playing him, but with Anton Stralman now most likely out for this one they may rush Rivet into the mix.
-Oh, and they recently traded Rotislav Klesla and Dane Byers to Phoenix for Scottie Upshall and Sami Lepisto. The Cannon has the current BJ depth chart.
-Maxim Lapierre comes with baggage (Province)
-Canucks depth level the best in their history. (Province). Agreed!
