Canucks lines vs Predators, October 23, 2025

Brock Boeser is set to return to the Vancouver Canucks for Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators after missing two games due to personal reasons. Head coach Adam Foote announced that Boeser will be positioned on a line with Max Sasson and Jake DeBrusk, aiming to enhance the team's offensive capabilities. The Canucks are still in search of a top-six center to complete their lineup. The Predators, currently struggling with a 2-3-2 record, have lost four straight games, most recently falling 5-2 to the Anaheim Ducks. Roman Josi, with five points in seven games, is the Predators' leading scorer, while Juuse Saros will start in goal for Nashville.

The game will be held at 5:00 p. m. PDT and will be available on Sportsnet Pacific. Filip Hronek's status remains uncertain after missing practice, and Tom Willander could make his NHL debut. This matchup is crucial for both teams as they aim to reverse their recent fortunes.
