The last time the Canucks met the Florida Luongos back on the 8th of January. they came out flatter than flat. It was almost as disappointing as seeing empty seats in the rink that night, and kicked off a 3 game losing skid for the Canucks. Now they have a chance to right that wrong, and show the Luongos that it was just an off night for them.

The Canucks could be without Brad Richardson tonight, as he got banged up in that 3-0 shutout win over the Hurricanes on Friday night. If he's unable to go, Zack Kassian will draw back in, and all eyes will be on him to make some kind of impression against the Luongos other than "was he even playing tonight?"

Luongo.

Things You Need To Know Tonight:

With a shutout tonight, Ryan Miller would set a #Canucks record for most road shutouts in a season (5).

It will be Miller versus Luongo tonight in FLA. Sbisa likely in for Corrado and If Richardson can't go then Kassian dresses. #Canucks
