The Vancouver Canucks (18-10-2) look to snap a four game losing streak when they play host to NHL scoring leader Tyler Seguin and the Dallas Stars (11-13-5) at Rogers Arena. The Canucks have not won since a 3-0 shutout victory in Pittsburgh two weeks ago, and are 0-3-1 in their past four games and 2-4-1 in their last seven.

Eddie Lack gets the start in goal tonight. It’s his first start since a 4-3 overtime loss in Ottawa on December 7th and his first home start since a 4-3 shootout loss to Anaheim on November 20th.

The Canucks return to action after falling 5-1 to the New York Rangers on Saturday. Nick Bonino had the lone Canucks goal – his first since Nov. 6 – ending a 16-game goal-scoring drought.

Earlier this season, the Canucks were winning games with balanced scoring spread throughout the line-up, but that is not the case right now. A number of Canucks forwards are struggling offensively; Bo Horvat has gone 10 games without a goal. Jannik Hansen has gone nine since his hat-trick vs Chicago. Henrik Sedin, Alex Burrows and Chris Higgins have all gone seven without putting a puck in the net, and Linden Vey has gone six games.

A big issue is the Canucks power play which started the season strongly but has faded. The Canucks PP was 11/53 (20.8%) in its first 15 games this season, but is just 6 for 41 (14.3%) in its past 15 games, with three of those goals coming in the same game Dec. 2 at Washington.  The Canucks are 0/14 in the five games since they lit up the Capitals.

The Stars arrive in Vancouver following a 4-3 win at home over New Jersey on Saturday. Dallas has alternated wins and losses in its last four games and is just 2-4-1 in in its past seven. In each of its last five losses, the Stars have surrendered five goals. In 10 of its 29 games this season, Dallas has given up five or more goals. Overall, the Stars are 29th in goals against (105) and 30th in goals against per game (3.52).

Kari Lehtonen gets his fourth straight start in goal tonight. He is 2-1 in his past three.

Offensively, Tyler Seguin is on a tear with five goals on a four-game goal-scoring streak and has seven in that span. Seguin leads the league with 23 goals. The next highest scoring Star, Jamie Benn, has eight goals on the season. No one else on the team has more than six.

The Stars jumped out to a 5-0 lead and defeated the Canucks 6-3 in their first meeting of the season on Oct. 21 in Dallas. The Stars have won five straight against the Canucks and are 3-1 in their last four in Vancouver.
