A pair of teams looking to solidify their standing in their respective playoff picture take the ice in search of a win in the Motor City.

Vancouver comes in off a 4-0 blanking at the hands of the Bruins on the road in Beantown Thursday night.

In the last 10 meetings between the teams, the Red Wings own a 6-4 advantage and have won the last four meetings. That includes a 6-1 road victory in the most recent matchup on February 13, 2023.

Against Boston, Vancouver saw their high-flying offense grounded by the tough defensive zone play of the Bruins Thursday night. The Canucks were outshot 11-4 in the opening period of play and they trailed 2-0 on the scoreboard after 20 minutes of play. In the second period, Vancouver saw the shots even at nine but was outscored 2-0 to trail 4-0 at the second intermission. The third period saw the Canucks outshot by a 5-4 margin with neither team scoring, leaving the Canucks with a goose egg on the scoreboard in the contest. Thatcher Demko made 21 saves for the Canucks, who were outshot 25-17, in the loss. He’s likely between the pipes again for this contest as well.
