Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks return from a five game road trip to take on the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Chicago Blackhawks. The Blackhawks kicked off their Western Road trip with a 5-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers and will be facing off against the Calgary Flames this evening.
The Blackhawks’ team that the Canucks will face on Saturday has experienced significant reshuffling since last year. Almost half their team were not on the roster for last year’s win. Salary cap limitations forced the loss of impact players such as big man Dustin Byfuglien, Ben Eager, and goal tender Antti Niemi.
Nonetheless, the Blackhawks management were able to keep their core roster made up of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, and Duncan Keith.
The Canucks come into Saturday’s game after a five game road trip, returning with a mediocre 2-2-1 away record with losses to the Montreal Canadiens and Sidney Crosby’s Pittsburgh Penguins.
