The Canucks will return to action today against the Anaheim Ducks, Vancouver’s first game since December 16 — a 5-2 win against the San Jose Sharks. 

The Canucks were originally scheduled to return Monday against the Seattle Kraken, but that game was postponed — along with a host of games within Canada’s borders that are to be rescheduled.

In all, five Canucks games were postponed and are to be rescheduled.
