Since the trade of Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild, the Canucks are a different team that is continuing to move in a new direction.
This new direction is centred around a youth movement, as we are seeing young players beginning to take on prominent roles for the Canucks, and playing heavy minutes doing so.
But with bigger roles and heavier minutes come injuries, and the Canucks injured list has been filled up for much of the season. This now includes Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi and Filip Chytil, as all are expected to be out of action until at least the end of the Olympic break.
