From patersonjeff: Canucks vs Rangers gameday preview. MORE:
The Vancouver Canucks will get some help on the blueline when they host the New York Rangers tonight at Rogers Arena. But it won’t be in the form of recently-signed Quinn Hughes, the team’s first pick in last year’s National Hockey League draft. Hughes arrived in town yesterday and met the media this morning but a nagging ankle injury will not allow him to play just yet. Veteran Chris Tanev returns to the line-up after missing 11 games with an ankle injury suffered on February 13th in Anaheim.
For the first time this season, Travis Green made a mid-game goaltending switch. Jacob Markstrom was replaced by Thatcher Demko with the Golden Knights leading 5-1 late in the first period. Demko stopped 16 of the 17 shots he faced over the final 45 minutes of action. The team will go back to Markstrom tonight.
New York arrives in town on the heels of a 3-2 overtime loss in Edmonton on Monday night. Brendan Lemieux scored once and set up Brett Howden for the Rangers other goal while Alexandar Georgiev stopped 30 of the 33 shots he faced. Lemieux had a Gordie Howe hattrick after getting into a second period scrap with Jujhar Khaira on Monday. He now has 2+3=5 in seven games since being acquired from Winnipeg at the trade deadline.
