Canucks to have crucial outing with the Kings: The stakes are high
The Vancouver Canucks will wrap up their three-game road trip tonight against the Los Angeles Kings and will have an opportunity to clinch home-ice advantage for the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
According to Rob Williams of Daily Hive, the Canucks will clinch home-ice advantage for the first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs if they defeat the Los Angeles Kings in any fashion tonight.
He added, "If Canucks win tonight, they'll be guaranteed a top-two spot in the Pacific Division, which gives them home ice in Round 1.
Clinching the division will take more time."
