  • Even though the Minnesota Wild hand Chicago Blackhawks their first loss of the season, Blackhawks have almost been unstoppable.

  • Will the Canucks seek retribution from Duncan Keith after knocking Daniel Sedin out with a blatant elbow to the head?

  • In a surprise move coach Alain Vigneault named Roberto Luongo as the starter against the Avalanche coming from another start against the Kings.

  • They stay disciplined and out of the box. There will be a desire for the Canucks to assert themselves physically early against a hated rival but they can't let that translate into senseless penalties unless they want to take their chances against one of the league's most potent power plays.

  • They make use of their power plays. Chicago's PK has given up just one goal on 27 times shorthanded this season but Vancouver has a recent history of power play success against them. Last season, five of their 11 total goals in the season series came with the man-advantage. All five power play goals came from different scorers as well.

  • Luongo stays hot. The Canucks' netminder will be under a big spotlight tonight as he picks up his third consecutive start against a team he has traditionally struggled against, at least in the playoffs. In his three starts this season, he's stopped 80 of 84 shots for a save percentage of .952.

  • The power play wakes up

  • The twins bump the slump

  • They win the third
