The upcoming game, scheduled for December 3rd, promises to be a thrilling encounter in one of Canada's most iconic hockey venues.

The Canucks have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against the Vegas Golden Knights, they suffered a narrow defeat with a final score of 4-1. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; goaltender performance was strong with an impressive save percentage of 91 percent over 44 shots. However, offensive output needs improvement as they managed only one goal from 22 shots.

Their offense was more effective in this matchup, converting three goals from 27 shots and boasting an improved shooting percentage of 11 percent. The team also demonstrated defensive resilience by blocking numerous attempts and winning over half of their faceoffs.

Defensive solidity will be key in thwarting Calgary's attack while finding ways to enhance shot conversion rates will bolster their chances for success.
