The Vancouver Canucks roll into Dallas on a three-game winning streak and are looking to keep their momentum going as they face the Stars for the first time this season. Defence has been the name of the game for the Canucks over their last trinity of games.

The Dallas Stars take on the Vancouver Canucks with a three win streak on the line. Dallas has a 32-17-1 record overall and an 18-7-1 record in home games. The Stars have gone 12-4-0 in games they score at least one power-play goal.

Amid all of the soap opera-caliber chaos of a rift between standout forwards J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson, the Vancouver Canucks are riding a three-game winning streak into a Friday night road clash against the Dallas Stars.

Overall, the heatmap from Wednesday's game is positive. While the Canucks did give up chances, they kept the "guts of the ice" relatively clean, and forced the Predators to shoot from distance. While Thatcher Demko did have to come up with a couple of big saves, Vancouver played a strong defensive game from start to finish.

The Blue Jackets have reportedly engaged the Canucks on Elias Pettersson trade talks with the deadline just five weeks away.

Elias Pettersson could be the odd man out in Vancouver. What does he bring, where could he land and what does Vancouver need?

Vancouver Canucks president Jim Rutherford spoke candidly with Gary Mason of the “Globe and Mail” about the team’s struggles this season and openly admitted that a locker room feud between stars Elias Pettersson and JT Miller has fractured the club.
