The Vancouver Canucks take on the New Jersey Devils.
The Vancouver Canucks continue their homestand on Friday when they take on the New Jersey Devils. Vancouver is coming off a big win on Wednesday as they snapped their 11-game losing streak. Here are the lineup notes for January 23, 2026.
As far as the lineup, Filip Chytil is expected to play his first game since October 19. Chytil will replace Max Sasson and will play on a line with Brock Boeser and Drew O'Connor. Friday will also be Chytil's 400th career regular-season NHL game, with the Czechia-born forward recording 80 goals and 173 points so far in his career.
Shifting over to the Devils, they are also dealing with some injuries heading into this game. The most notable player missing from the lineup is Luke Hughes, who is currently on IR. Former Canucks forward Zack MacEwen is also on IR and has only played three games this season.
