Vancouver fell to 0-3-2 in its last five games and is winless in its last seven at home (0-5-2) after Sunday's heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Nashville. Tonight's contest marks the second of a four-game homestand for the Canucks.

Vancouver is just 1-8-3 against Northwest Division opponents. Its lone divisional win came in overtime against Edmonton on December 2.

If there has been a bright spot for the Canucks, it is their power play. The unit has scored with the man advantage in each of the last three games while going 5-of-12 during that stretch.

Edmonton continued its struggle in overtime on Monday, suffering a 3-2 home setback to Nashville. The Oilers dropped to 0-7-13 in the extra session and are four games shy of the NHL record for most overtime games in a season, set by Philadelphia in 1998-99.

The Oilers are in third place in the division, two points behind Calgary and six in back of first-place Colorado.

Todd Marchant has provided a spark to the Edmonton offense lately, recording four goals and six assists during his seven-game points streak.

The teams split a home-and-home series in early December before skating to a 3-3 tie in the most recent meeting on Saturday.
