What The Mikko Rantanen Trade Means For The Vancouver Canucks

Monday night presents a perfect opportunity for Vancouver to create some momentum. As mentioned, they haven't won back-to-back games in close to two months and are looking to become a more consistent team. The question is, can they replace Saturday's performance against the Washington Capitals, or will Monday be a repeat of Thursday night when they fell to the Edmonton Oilers?

Players to Watch:

Danton Heinen:

Based on line rushes at practice on Sunday, it looks like Danton Heinen will get another shot on a line with J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser. While Heinen has had moments this season, he has just one goal in his past 17 games and is struggling to generate shots on net consistently. If Heinen can start producing offensively, it could be exactly what the Canucks need to defeat the Blues.

Jake Neighbours:

Jake Neighbours has a bright future in the NHL. The 22-year-old winger has 13 goals and 24 points in 50 games this season and is on pace to set new career highs this year. While he is currently playing on the third line, Neighbours is a talented offensive winger who can make teams pay if they turn over the puck.
