The Canucks are 4-5-0 in their past nine games and play the second of a back to back after a 4-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center on Saturday. Goalie Michael Dipietro will likely start for Vancouver. 

Players to watch

Canucks center Elias Pettersson has 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in his past 15 games.

Golden Knights forward Max Pacioretty, their leader with 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists), is on a three-game goal streak.

They said it

"I thought we played a good game for 40 minutes. Our start wasn't good enough, and we were playing catch-up for the rest of the game. We've got to find a way to start off the bat and play as well as we did the last 40 minutes." -- Canucks captain Bo Horvat on the game Saturday

"We've talked about our division. It might not be the top division for points, but it's real close together and any team can beat you any given night. [The Canucks] are a real young team that's really come about and really played well this season." -- Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant
