The Vancouver Canucks will try to avoid their sixth straight loss and 13th in 15 games (2-10-2). Vancouver has been outscored 14-4 during the losing streak. The Canucks will use the same line combinations and defense pairs as they did in Tuesday's 3-1 loss at the San Jose Sharks. "Sometimes you just get used to (losing) and once it's happened the next time gets easier," coach Willie Desjardins said Thursday. "At the start of the year we would have accepted that [effort]. We came in, gave up two early and lost 3-1. That's something that wouldn't sit well. It's tough, but I always say, 'If you accepting being average, you'll be average.' And we can't accept that." Vancouver has won five of its past six games against the Arizona Coyotes and is 8-2-0 in its past 10 against them. Ryan Miller, who is 11-2-0 with a 1.45 goals-against average and a .952 save percentage in his career against Arizona, will start. Miller has lost five straight games and 14 of his past 16 starts.
