The Vancouver Canucks will look to bounce back from a loss to the Dallas Stars when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday. Although the team's fresh off its 4-1 defeat on Sunday, the Canucks have won two of their last three games at home leading into tonight's contest.

On the flip side, the Habs enter the matchup in the middle of a two-game skid that most recently saw them get shut out by the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

Currently, Vancouver is sitting in fifth place in the Pacific Division, just one point behind the fourth-place Flames. With the postseason rapidly approaching, the team will look to close the gap on Calgary in the Western Conference wild-card race while fending off the Blues.

Looking at past meetings between Canucks and Canadiens as well as upcoming games on Vancouver's schedule

Tonight's game between the Canucks and the Habs will be the second and final regular-season meeting between these two teams this season.

In early January, the two teams faced off in Montreal, with the Habs picking up a 5-4 win in overtime. The loss for Vancouver extended its losing streak at the time to four and dropped its record to 18-12-9 on the season.

Heading into tonight's rematch, the Canucks will look to even up their regular season series and get revenge.

After this, Vancouver will hit the road for a game with the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. The team will then return home for a three-game stretch that will see it host the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, the Utah Hockey Club on Sunday and the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday before hitting the road once more.

With the postseason in sight and Vancouver looking to make a run in the wild-card race, the next few weeks seem poised to deliver fireworks.
