League: NHL – United States of America
Last 10 matches: Los Angeles 5-4-1; Vancouver 4-3-3
The only injury concerns for either team are Canucks defensemen Shane O’Brien (upper-body) and Aaron Rome (lower-body). O’Brien practiced Wednesday, so he is likely to be available for Game 1. Rome will not play.On one side, you have a Canucks team that has plenty of familiarity with the playoffs. With the Kings, it’s not lacking, but they’re not bursting with it, either. Ryan Smyth and Sean O’Donnell have been there, done that. But for four of the five leading scorers on the Kings Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty, Dustin Brown and Alexander Frolov this is their first trip to the postseason. The Kings and Canucks didn’t finish far apart in the standings, but experience could be the difference.
Henrik Sedin had a big finish to the regular season, one that earned him the Art Ross Trophy. We will post information about results of this match.. stay tuned.
