Vancouver Canucks Announce Starting Goalie & Interesting Lineup for Afternoon Matchup with the Buffalo Sabres

The Vancouver Canucks are currently on their second long road trip of the season.

After beating the Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators to kick of their road trip, the Canucks are 2-1 and are looking to get back in the win column after dropping their third game to the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4.

Unfortunately for the Canucks they have been faced with an another adversity they must overcome as it was announced defensman Filip Hronek will be out long term with an upper body injury.

As it stands right now, the Canucks are going to have thenself a test for the next few weeks.

The blue shirts are missing J.T. Miller and now are filled with even more holes on defense that leave them with little to no options.

Jake DeBrusk - Elias Pettersson - Kiefer Sherwood
Brock Boeser - Pius Suter - Conor Garland
Dakota Joshua - Teddy Blueger - Nils Hoglander
Max Sasson - Aatu Raty - Danton Heinan

Quinn Hughes - Tyler Myers
Carson Soucy - Noah Juulsen
Erik Brannstrom - Vincent Desharnais

After what continues to be a major disappointment this season, Arturs Silovs is basically out of chances as the Canucks will most probably go back to Kevin Lankinen this afternoon.

The Canucks will need to dig deep and have players step up to fill the holes left by Miller and Hronek if they want to continue there dominant road record.
