Goalie Jacob Markstrom will start for the Vancouver Canucks after Ryan Miller made 26 saves in a 4-3 loss at the Boston Bruins on Saturday. The Canucks have lost five of their past six games. "Every game right now we need 60 minutes to win," Markstrom told the Canucks website. "We can't give up too many scoring chances. We have to be sharp and have a good 60-minute game." Vancouver trails the Nashville Predators by six points for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. "We've just got to get points; we know that," coach Willie Desjardins said. "We've been close in all the games. They've all been late, pulled the goaltenders late. We could've had points in them so we just have to take that next step and get points and that's going to be a battle. We're playing good teams, we know that, and we know that's the way it's going to be. If you asked us, 'Is this what we thought?' Yeah, this is what we thought. They're going to be tight games and they're going to be hard games to get points." The Canucks play the fourth of a six-game road trip.
