Tale of the Tape.
The Canucks will be eager to redeem itself after that letdown last night against the Florida Panthros, when the Canucks basically allowed Florida to come at them at-will during the second period. They ended up scoring two goals, and while Vancouver did push back in the third, it was too little too late.
Tampa will likely start 42-year-old Dwayne Roloson, employ its infamous trap (remember the Philadelphia-Tampa game where the Flyers were called for "failing to advance the puck" against the Lightning trap?) especially in the absence of Hedman and Ohlund on the back end.
One of the bright spots last night in Florida was AV's discovery of another line: MayRay / Kesler / CoHo - if AV goes to this well, it would be because the Sedin unit isn't doing much at all. Schneider gets the start.
Salo still out with a concussion and Ebbett joins Pinizzotto and Volpatti (shoulder) in the Hyperbaric Chamber Inn. I think Rome (thumb) and Booth (knee) travelled with the team on this road trip so they should be day-to-day.
