The Vancouver Canucks return to action on Monday at 9:00 PM ET as they host the San Jose Sharks. Vancouver comes into this matchup at 16-10-7, while the Sharks are 11-19-6 this year. Vancouver is currently fourth in the Pacific Division.

Vancouver is healthy for the most part. The only injury of note remains Filip Hronek, who is still on Injured Reserve with a lower body injury. He has been out since November 27. JT Miller returned from his personal hiatus a few games ago, so the rest of the roster is in good form.

With that in mind, here’s what their lineups could look like tonight against San Jose:

Forward:

  1. LW Phil Di Giuseppe – C JT Miller – RW Brock Boeser
  2. LW Jake DeBrusk – C Elias Pettersson – RW Linus Karlsson
  3. LW Dakota Joshua – C Pius Suter – RW Conor Garland
  4. LW Danton Heinen – C Teddy Blueger – RW Kiefer Sherwood

Defense pairs:

  1. Quinn Hughes-Tyler Myers
  2. Carson Soucy-Noah Juulsen
  3. Derek Forbort-Vincent Desharnais

Goalkeepers:

  • Kevin Lankinen
  • Thatcher Demko

Powerplay teams:

  1. Jake DeBrusk, Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Conor Garland, Quinn Hughes
  2. Kiefer Sherwood, Pius Suter, Danton Heinen, JT Miller, Tyler Myers

Criminal killings:

  1. Pius Suter, Danton Heinen, Carson Soucy, Tyler Myers
  2. Teddy Blueger, Kiefer Sherwood, Derek Forbort, Noah Juulsen

The Canucks suffered a tough overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators last time out.
