The Vancouver Canucks' roster has been revealed for Wednesday night's game against the Calgary Flames in Abbotsford.

24 hours after defeating the Seattle Kraken to open up the preseason, the Vancouver Canucks will head down to Abbotsford, home of their American Hockey League affiliate, to take on the Calgary Flames.

The Flames have already played three preseason games, including two split-squad contests on Monday night and have a record of 3-0-0 with 18 goals for and five against. It's going to be a tough battle for the Canucks tonight and we finally know who the team will be sending to Abbotsford for the game.

Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 in Calgary has shared the rosters for each team ahead of tonight's tilt, with six Canucks that played last night in the lineup once again, those being Christian Wolanin, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Aatu Raty, Max Sasson, Sammy Blais and Linus Karlsson.

Here's Vancouver's full roster for tonight's game:

Goaltenders (2): Jiri Patera, Nikita Tolopilo.

Defencemen (7): Jett Woo, Carson Soucy, Akito Hirose, Quinn Hughes, Noah Juulsen, Vincent Desharnais, Christian Wolanin.

Forwards (12): Arsheep Bains, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Phillip Di Giuseppe, Elias Pettersson, Kiefer Sherwood, Aatu Raty, Max Sasson, Jake DeBrusk, Sammy Blais, Nathan Smith, Daniel Sprong, Linus Karlsson.

As for the Flames' roster, there aren't many regulars set to be in the lineup tonight, however the Canucks will be facing off against one of their former prospects, Joni Jurmo, who was dealt to Calgary in the Elias Lindholm trade back in late January. Also in the lineup for Calgary is 2024 ninth-overall pick Zayne Parekh, 2021 first-round pick Matt Coronato and one of the NHL's top goaltending prospects, Dustin Wolf.

Puck drop for tonight's game in Abbotsford is set for 7 pm PT and while it's not on television tonight, fans will be able to watch through a livestream on the Vancouver Canucks' website.
