Henrik and Daniel Sedin spent their entire careers together in Vancouver, becoming the most decorated players for a franchise that has never won a Stanley Cup despite a heartbreaking seven-game Final loss in 2011. The Canucks joined the NHL in the 1970 expansion and now play at Rogers Arena, where blue, green and white have anchored the club's identity since a 2007 uniform update.
As of Nov 3, 2026, here are the most recently projected forward lines, defense pairings and power-play units for the Vancouver Canucks. On the top line, the Vancouver Canucks are currently projected to run left wing Jake DeBrusk, center Elias Pettersson and right wing Brock Boeser together, a trio expected to log the heaviest 5-on-5 minutes on the roster, though without last change on the road it does not always draw the other team's top shutdown pairing. On the blue line, the top pairing is Elias Nils Pettersson and Filip Hronek, who typically log the heaviest 5-on-5 minutes on the back end and face the toughest zone starts, though the team's primary penalty-kill pairing is not always the same duo. On the power play, the PP1 unit runs Jake DeBrusk, Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Jonathan Lekkerimaki and Filip Hronek, the unit most teams send out first on a power play, though a delayed-penalty scramble already in progress or a late matchup change can put a different five over the boards. These combinations reflect pre-game reporting rather than real-time tracking, and can change between games and even between periods, so check the today's lines tool for the most current deployment before puck drop.

These projected lines are drawn from Daily Faceoff's pre-game reporting, typically beat writers covering morning skates and warmups before puck drop. They reflect the coaching staff's intended deployment rather than shift-by-shift tracking collected once a game is already underway, and can still shift between a morning skate and the opening faceoff.
Lines can change from game to game, and sometimes within a single game, as a coaching staff reacts to matchups, injuries, scoring droughts or chemistry.
