Canucks lineup tonight: Vancouver's projected lineup for the game against the San Jose Sharks


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

For the most part, Vancouver is healthy. The only injury worth noting is Filip Hronek, who is still on Injured Reserve with a lower body injury. He has been out since November 27. JT Miller returned from a personal layoff a few games ago, so the rest of the roster is in good shape.

  1. LW Phil Di Giuseppe – C JT Miller – RW Brock Boeser
