Status Report

The Canucks did not hold a morning skate following their recent 6-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning. This marks their second consecutive game for goalie Kevin Lankinen, who may see his seventh straight start if chosen. Forward Conor Garland left the recent game during the second period with a tweak, and his condition remains uncertain.

For the Panthers, coach Paul Maurice has indicated that Eetu Luostarinen remains day-to-day and will not participate tonight. Uvis Balinskis is set to make his return after an absence since October 28.
