VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Here are the lineups the Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks likely will use when they renew one of the NHL's best rivalries Friday at Rogers Arena:
CANUCKS
Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Zack Kassian
Chris Higgins - Alexandre Burrows - Jannik Hansen
Mason Raymond - Jordan Schroeder - Dale Weise
Manny Malhotra - Maxim Lapierre - Aaron Volpatti
Keith Ballard - Christopher Tanev
Scratched: Andrew Ebbett, Andrew Alberts, Cam Barker
Injured: Ryan Kesler, David Booth
Weise missed practice Thursday with a stiff neck but said he felt good enough to play after taking part in the morning skate.
BLACKHAWKS
Brandon Saad - Jonathan Toews - Marian Hossa
Patrick Sharp - Dave Bolland - Patrick Kane
Bryan Bickell - Andrew Shaw - Viktor Stalberg
Brandon Bollig - Marcus Kruger - Michael Frolik
Niklas Hjalmarsson - Johnny Oduya

Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said backup goaltender Ray Emery will start Saturday in Calgary for just the second time this season. Quenneville wouldn't confirm whether Bollig or Mayers would play on the fourth line Friday, but Mayers stayed out for a hard skate long after his teammates left in the morning, as did Rozsival, who is close to coming back from a knee injury.
