Because while the Canes’ last two losses came against solid teams that made the playoffs last season, the Vancouver Canucks are an opponent that has been spiraling downward and fast. They head into the contest against Carolina with an 0-4-2 record and, most recently, a 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.

The Canucks came into the season with high hopes of a soft reset, with new management as well as Bruce Boudreau as their head coach, but they have yet to see any results that show an inkling of promise.

However, it’s important that Carolina comes in with the mentality that this could still be a tough game, as another win would really help the Canes solidify a strong early road trip, banking a potential seven out of 10 points, but a loss could see them fall to the middle of the Metropolitan Division as opposed to clear early front runners.

Game Notes:

• With a goal on Saturday, Sebastian Aho now has a four-game point streak, with eight points in those games.
• Andrei Svechnikov currently sits at 95 NHL goals scored, and while he might not get to 100 tonight, it's not impossible to say he could reach it this month with four more games remaining in October.
• A Noesen in the Sun: Stefan Noesen has been flying under the radar but he has an active three-game assist streak. This is just one game shy of his career-long as part of the 2017-18 New Jersey Devils.
• With a hat-trick in the most recent game, Andrei Svechnikov moved to first place in the NHL with six goals. He has since moved down to second place with Steven Stamkos hitting the seven-goal mark in the early season.
• Dylan Coghlan is returning home, he was born in Duncan, B.C.
