Canucks Look to End Losing Streak Against Maple Leafs

Vancouver struggles offensively on road trip as Toronto seeks to rebound from recent loss.

  • The Vancouver Canucks are on a four-game losing streak, scoring only five goals in their last four games and being shut out twice in that span.
  • The Canucks recorded a season-low 14 shots in their 2-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday, with Elias Pettersson returning to the lineup after a six-game absence but failing to register a shot on goal.
  • The Toronto Maple Leafs are coming off a 6-3 road loss to the Hurricanes, which ended their five-game winning streak, despite a goal from Auston Matthews and William Nylander breaking an eight-game scoring drought.
  • Toronto goaltender Joseph Woll remains the team's starter with Anthony Stolarz sidelined due to a knee injury, while Vancouver's Thatcher Demko returned to action following back spasms, making 18 saves in his last game.
  • The Canucks and Maple Leafs will face each other for the first time this season on Saturday, with Toronto beginning a three-game homestand and Vancouver concluding their road trip on Tuesday.
