KEY GAME INFORMATION
VANCOUVER: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, finished 12th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Willie Desjardins, first season with the Canucks.
ADDED: C Nick Bonino, LW Derek Dorsett, G Ryan Miller, D Luca Sbisa, RW Radim Vrbata.
LOST: RW Zac Dalpe, D Jason Garrison, C Ryan Kesler, C Mike Santorelli, C Jordan Schroeder.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Ryan Miller. On June 29, 2013, the Canucks had a goaltending tandem of Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider. When Vancouver's season ended 288 days later, the duo in net was Eddie Lack and Jacob Markstrom after Schneider and Luongo were traded. In a combined 45 games with Vancouver, Lack and Markstrom were 17-19-5 with a 2.39 goals against average and .908 save percentage. Miller, who was signed to a three-year, $18 million free agent deal, has a 2.55 GAA and .916 save percentage the last four seasons.
OUTLOOK: The dismissals of coach John Tortorella and Kesler, traded to Anaheim, can be seen as addition by subtraction. Kesler's in-season trade request became a distraction for a team whose 2013-14 campaign was an unmitigated failure. So the Canucks can do nothing but improve in 2014-15. Will there be enough improvement to qualify for a playoff berth? That may be too much to ask for a team in the tough Western Conference.
ARIZONA: LAST SEASON: 37-30-15, 89 points. Ninth overall in Western Conference.
COACH: Dave Tippett, fifth season with Arizona, 156-96-42; In 10th NHL season as coach, 427-252-107.
ADDED: C Sam Gagner, C Joe Vitale, RW B.J. Crombeen, G Devan Dubnyk.
LOST: RW Radim Vrbata, C Mike Ribeiro, D Derek Morris, LW Paul Bissonnette, G Thomas Greiss.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Antoine Vermette. As Ribeiro struggled late last season, Vermette surged to the forefront as Arizona's top center. He led the Coyotes with 24 goals last season and is a superb two-way player - a perfect fit for Tippett's defense-first system. A bigger season could be on the horizon as the Coyotes lean on him more.
OUTLOOK: The Coyotes should contend for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Arizona lost captain Shane Doan for 12 games due to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and goalie Mike Smith was out the final 10 games with a knee injury. Even with the injuries, the Coyotes finished two points out of the West's final playoff spot. Stay relatively healthy and get back to their defensive ways, they might be in the mix again this season.

*Canucks-Coyotes Preview* =========================

By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Vancouver (36-24-3) at Arizona (20-37-7), 9:00 p.m. EDT

With first place in the Pacific Division seemingly out of reach, the Vancouver Canucks are trying to maintain their positioning despite being without their top goaltender.

The first few games without Ryan Miller have been challenging, but protecting the net figures to be easier Wednesday night against the goal-starved Arizona Coyotes, who are on the brink of two franchise records for ineptitude.

First-place Anaheim is well ahead of Vancouver (36-24-3), which is only three points in front of Calgary, Los Angeles and San Jose.

Miller, tied for third in the league with six shutouts, remains out with a sprained knee. Eddie Lack made 40 saves in a 2-1 win at Boston on Feb. 24, the first game following Miller's injury, but the Canucks have struggled in net since. Lack gave up five goals in each of his next two starts and was called into relief duty in the first period of Tuesday's 6-2 loss to San Jose after Jacob Markstrom gave up three goals on four shots in his season debut.

Vancouver had been giving up 2.6 goals per game prior to this rough stretch.

"I'm real disappointed with the results, but as a group I thought the team was ready," coach Willie Desjardins said. "Things just didn't go our way tonight."

Lack lost both of his previous starts against the Coyotes despite giving up two goals on 55 shots. Markstrom has never faced Arizona.

Henrik Sedin has six goals and seven assists during an eight-game point streak, his longest since a 12-gamer early last season, though he has one point in his last five trips to Arizona.

Daniel Sedin has one goal and nine assists over his last eight contests.

The Coyotes (20-37-7) has been outscored 40-14 during a 10-game, franchise record-matching losing streak, with each defeat coming in regulation. They lost 10 straight as the Winnipeg Jets from Nov. 30-Dec. 20, 1980, and Feb. 6-25, 1994.

Fans could be in for a miserable season-high six-game homestand, which opened with Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Anaheim. It pushed the club's home losing streak to nine, tying a club record set Nov. 8-Dec. 11. Arizona has totaled 12 goals during its home skid, including one on 21 power-play chances. The Coyotes haven't won at home since Jan. 8 against Winnipeg.

With deadline deals sending former team points leaders Keith Yandle and Antoine Vermette elsewhere, the Coyotes could further struggle to find continuity. Left wings Craig Cunningham and Tye McGinn and defensemen Klas Dahlbeck and John Moore, all recently acquired, made their team debuts in Tuesday's loss.

"There was a lot of try in everybody," coach Dave Tippett told the league's official website. "I still think we need a good practice together. Not very often do you have this many new players jump into your lineup."

Vancouver has limited its last 10 opponents to two power-play goals on 27 opportunities.

These teams played two lopsided games earlier this season in Vancouver, with Arizona winning 5-0 on Nov. 14 while the Canucks won 7-1 on Dec. 22.

Vancouver has lost four of five at Arizona, failing to score in the last two and totaling five goals.
