One storyline to keep an eye on throughout the day will be the return of Filip Hronek. The right-shot defenceman has been out of the lineup since November 27 and is a game-time decision, according to Rick Tocchet. If Hronek is ready to go, he is projected to play a significant role for the Canucks as he will slot into the lineup next to Quinn Hughes.

Players to Watch:

Kiefer Sherwood:

Kiefer Sherwood has been arguably one of Vancouver's best players all season. He recently broke his eight-game goalless drought and has already set the Canucks franchise record for hits in a season by a forward. A player who finds a way to make an impact on a nightly basis, Sherwood's relentless effort could prove valuable against Winnipeg.

Adam Lowry:

Like Sherwood, Lowry is a pain to play against. The Jets captain has 83 hits and 25 points in 44 games this season. Whether it is during the play or after the whistle, Lowry has mastered the art of annoying his opponents and is not afraid to drop the gloves if he has to.
