Photo by Simon Fearn-USA TODAY Sports - Canucks Gameday Preview #48: Vancouver Looks To Push Point Streak To 10 With St. Louis In TownThe Vancouver Canucks (32-11-4) will be looking for their first ten-game point streak of the season when they face the St. Louis Blues (23-20-2) on Wednesday night. Vancouver will also be looking for some revenge as St. Louis is the only team that has beaten them this month, as they defeated the Canucks 2-1 on Jan 4.
With the Blues having played Tuesday night, Vancouver should have the advantage heading into this game. So far this season, St. Louis is 2-3-0 on the second of back-to-backs, while the Canucks have an 18-6-3 on one day's rest. While it won't be an easy matchup, as the Blues have won two straight, Vancouver needs to ensure they play a full 60 minutes to secure the victory and win the season series versus St. Louis.
Players to Watch
Brock Boeser
Could tonight's game be the night Brock Boeser ties his career-high of 29 goals? Currently sitting at 27 goals on the season, he could break his five-game goalless streak with a big game against the Blues. Facing a tired Blues team, he could do some damage, especially if given time and space on the power play.
Jordan Kyrou
Jordan Kyrou is always a threat to score when the puck is on his stick. He has seven points in his last six games and recorded an assist the last time these two teams met. He scored last night against the Flames and will be looking for career point number 230 on Wednesday night.
