Vancouver Canucks vs. Ottawa Senators: TV, Radio, Lineups, Injury Report, Predictions

Against a Canadian rival, the Vancouver Canucks are looking to stop their little fall down the standings.

The Vancouver Canucks were surpassed by the Edmonton Oilers, who currently sit in first in the Pacific Division. What would have sounded like a mediocre joke just a few weeks ago is now reality. Canada is back, with three Canadian teams in the NHL’s top four.

But not all Canadian teams had a terrific start into the year. The Ottawa Senators, for example, Vancouver’s opponent in tonight’s game, have a 3-2-0 record after five games. That is good for sixth in the Atlantic Division.

Tonight, we can expect a tight game. The Canucks are trying not to fall any further in the standings while the Senators will do everything in their power to start climbing up.

Is my 4-0 prediction just wishful thinking? Maybe. But anything is possible in this one.
