Los Angeles, CA – The Vancouver Canucks will face the Los Angeles Kings tonight with a significantly altered lineup, most notably missing forward Conor Garland due to an upper-body injury. The team has not yet released details regarding the severity or expected duration of Garland’s absence.

Joining Garland on the sidelines as healthy scratches are forward Lukas Reichel and defenseman Elias Pettersson. In their place, Aatu Räty, Jonathan Lekkerimäki, and Pierre-Olivier Joseph will draw into the lineup. With no morning skate, the Canucks’ exact line combinations will remain a mystery until warm-ups.

Goaltender Kevin Lankinen is slated to start in net for Vancouver, marking his return after missing the previous two games due to personal reasons. Lankinen holds a 4-7-2 record this season with an .880 save percentage.
