The Vancouver Canucks (27-22-11) hit the ice for the final time before the 2025 NHL trade deadline as they take on the Anaheim Ducks (27-26-7) on Wednesday night. This will be the second time in a week these two Pacific Division rivals go head-to-head, with the Ducks taking last Thursday's matchup 5-2. With Vancouver and Anaheim both battling for a playoff spot, Wednesday will be a must-win in regulation for the Canucks as they look to take down a team that has won nine of their last 14 games.

With the trade deadline just two days away, Wednesday night could be the final time fans in Vancouver get to see certain players in a Canucks uniform. With rumours swirling and some notable pending unrestricted free agents, there could be a few moves before Friday's deadline. While it may be a challenge for the team to focus, considering the circumstances, they can't afford to take a night off and will need a full-team effort on Wednesday.
Players To Watch:
Conor Garland:
Based on lines at practice on Tuesday, it looks like Conor Garland will be playing beside Elias Pettersson and Dakota Joshua on Wednesday. Garland has been one of Vancouver's most consistent players all season and will be looked upon to produce some offence against the Ducks. A strong game from Garland could not only lead to a victory but potentially could also spark Pettersson.
Leo Carlsson:
Leo Carlsson is having an impressive second season in the NHL. He has recorded a career-high 14 goals, with five of those counting as game-winners. Ultimately, Carlsson is going to be a pain in the Canucks side for years to come and could be in store for a big game on Wednesday.
