The Story in 60 Seconds

The Vancouver Canucks host the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night, aiming to snap an active seven-game losing streak. Vancouver returns home after earning just one point on a six-game road trip, most recently falling 4-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Meanwhile, Carolina looks to bounce back following a 3-2 defeat to the Calgary Flames that halted their seven-game winning run.

Carolina previously defeated Vancouver 7-2 on Oct. 8, powered by a Logan Stankoven hat trick. The Hurricanes will be without forward Taylor Hall, who was placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury, and Mark Jankowski due to a lower-body injury. Vancouver forward Marco Rossi missed practice Monday after sitting out Saturday with an illness.
