The Blue Jackets have reportedly engaged the Canucks on Elias Pettersson trade talks with the deadline just five weeks away.

Elias Pettersson could be the odd man out in Vancouver. What does he bring, where could he land and what does Vancouver need?

Vancouver Canucks president Jim Rutherford spoke candidly with Gary Mason of the “Globe and Mail” about the team’s struggles this season and openly admitted that a locker room feud between stars Elias Pettersson and JT Miller has fractured the club.

The Dallas Stars take on the Vancouver Canucks with a three win streak on the line. Dallas has a 32-17-1 record overall and an 18-7-1 record in home games. The Stars have gone 12-4-0 in games they score at least one power-play goal.

The Vancouver Canucks roll into Dallas on a three-game winning streak and are looking to keep their momentum going as they face the Stars for the first time this season. Defence has been the name of the game for the Canucks over their last trinity of games.
