With sports media focused on the 4 Nations Face-Off the Canucks got a rest from the daily grind, but now they’re back at it as the trade deadline and stretch drive beckon. As for the tournament, national pride abounds now,

Elias Pettersson may not be available right away for the Vancouver Canucks as the NHL schedule resumes after a two-week pause.
