The Vancouver Canucks take on the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.
The Vancouver Canucks (17-19-3) play their last game of 2025 on Tuesday as they welcome the Philadelphia Flyers (19-11-7) to Rogers Arena. These two teams have already met once this season, with Philadelphia picking up a 5-2 win. Vancouver is coming off a shootout victory on Monday night, while the Flyers fell in their last game on Sunday.
2025 has not been a great year for the Canucks, but they can end it on a high note against a familiar face. For the first time since his departure in the off-season, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet will return to Rogers Arena. Tocchet should receive some sort of welcome-back message during the game, as he did spend the last few seasons with the organization.
After a hard-fought win on Monday, Vancouver will be the tired team on Tuesday. Philadelphia flew in on Monday and instead of facing a division rival, had the chance to practice and get set for Tuesday night. Ultimately, the Canucks can not afford a slow start, especially in front of a home crowd that has seen just four wins in 16 games at Rogers Arena this year.
Players To Watch:
Liam Öhgren:
Liam Öhgren had yet another impressive performance on Monday night. He recorded an assist and scored the game-winner in the shootout. It appears that the change of scenery has been very beneficial for Öhgren as he is now up to four points in seven games with Vancouver.
Jamie Drysdale:
Jamie Drysdale has taken a significant step in his development this year. He is averaging over 21 minutes a night and is already up to 17 points in his first 37 games. Drysdale has shown he can be impactful at both ends of the ice and will be relied upon heavily once again on Tuesday night.
