Anaheim, which is 5-0-1 in its past six games, is tied with the Los Angeles Kings in points, but holds the tiebreaker having played one fewer game.
Anaheim forward Troy Terry will make his NHL debut one day after signing a three-year, entry-level contract.

Vancouver, which has been eliminated from playoff contention, has won two of its past three games after losing seven straight.

Players to watch

Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf has six points (one goal, five assists) during a four-game point streak.
Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler has three goals and an assist in his past five games.

"It's important when you bring a young kid in that he's not here sitting around. We're in a situation where we could use his skill." -- Ducks coach Randy Carlyle on Troy Terry
"We just felt it's best for him to get in here, and I think he felt comfortable that way too, getting to know his teammates a little, getting a morning skate, get a practice (Wednesday) and play Thursday." -- Canucks coach Travis Green on why center Adam Gaudette, who signed a three-year, entry-level contract Monday after leading the NCAA with 60 points (30 goals, 30 assists) won't make his debut.
