The sole Canadian teams left in the playoffs will do battle at 7 pm tonight as the Canucks look to take a 2-0 series lead.
The Canucks will look to keep their momentum going after scoring four unanswered goals to take the 5-4 win in game one.
Vancouver’s three-goal playoff comeback was the second in franchise history, the last time being in 1994.
Dakota Joshua, Conor Garland and Elias Lindholm were on the ice for three goals scored and zero against.
On Thursday, the New York Rangers defeated the Carolina Hurricanes to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.
The Rangers are the winners of seven straight in the playoffs for the first time since 1994, the year they won the Stanley Cup.
The other game to take place on Thursday saw the Dallas Stars even their series against the Colorado Avalanche.
