The Vancouver Canucks will strive to right the ship against the host Washington Capitals on Wednesday. The matchup represents the second of a five-game road trip for the Canucks, with all four of the remaining contests coming against teams with winning records.

The energy forward was part of last year’s Nashville Predators team, which turned their season around. On February 15, they sat 22nd in the league standings, five points out of the last playoff spot. The poor play caused their team trip to see U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas to be cancelled, which proved to be a catalyst for the better.

The past four weeks have not gone well for the Vancouver Canucks, from J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson being at odds with each other to their 2-5-3 record in their previous 10 games, including a terrible performance on Jan.

The NHL record for most overtime losses in a season is 18. The Vancouver Canucks dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.

What a year it has been for Connor McMichael. The 2019 first round pick is up to 17 goals in 40 games and is three points away from setting a new career high. With the way McMichael has been playing this season, the Canucks will need to keep an extra eye on him throughout the game.

The five-foot-10 blue-liner won the Norris Trophy for the NHL's best defenseman in 2023-24, and with half of this season in the books, he's making another case for himself. Throughout all of the turmoil that the Vancouver Canucks have endured, Hughes' numbers have remained consistent.

The Vancouver Canucks returned home after their 6-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. After the disappointing loss, the club was given the day off.
