Note: added a few stats categories to the chart: Hits, Blocked Shots, Giveaways and Takeaways. Look at how little the Canucks are blocking shots!
First off, expect the Canucks to recall Eddie Lack from Chicago, as Roberto Luongo is still day-to-day with an upper body injury. Also, Kesler will play and Ballard will not. Andrew Alberts draws back in.
I think I have verbally beat the Canucks up enough over the past several days. It would be great to see them score more at even strength. Seeing that the Senators, despite a current 3-game winning streak, are 27th in the NHL 5 on 5, this may be the game where Vancouver breaks out at even strength. They're going to have to earn it though. Gotta
score some dirty ones too.
