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

The Vancouver Canucks will be back in action on Monday at 9:00 PM ET as they host the San Jose Sharks. Vancouver enters this matchup with a 16-10-7 record, while the Sharks are 11-19-6 on the year. Vancouver is currently fourth in the Pacific Division.

For the most part, Vancouver is healthy. The only injury worth mentioning is Filip Hronek, who is still on injured reserve with a lower body injury. He has been missing since November 27th. JT Miller returned from a personal hiatus a few games ago, so the rest of the roster is in good shape.

With that in mind, here’s how their lines could look tonight against San Jose:

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
