Line Change

Raty will fill the void left in Friday night's lineup after J.T. Miller was traded to the Rangers. Raty will centre Danton Heinen and Phil Di Giuseppe on Vancouver's fourth line.
The Canucks have acquired Victor Mancini, Filip Chytil, and a conditional first-round pick from the Rangers for J.T. Miller, Erik Brannstrom, and Jackson Dorrington.
A fifth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Mancini has spent the majority of his first two pro seasons with the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack. Mancini made his NHL debut with the Rangers earlier this season, and has one goal and four assists across 15 career NHL games. He should compete with Noah Juulsen and Vincent Desharnais for game-time as Vancouver's sixth defenceman.
The Canucks have acquired Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and a conditional first-round pick from the Rangers for J.T. Miller, Erik Brannstrom, and Jackson Dorrington.
Chytil joins the Canucks as the key piece in the trade that finally helped the Rangers reunite with J.T. Miller. After being limited to a bottom-six role throughout practically his entire career in New York, Chytil should finally get the chance to excel further up the lineup with the Canucks. He leaves New York after parts of eight seasons with the Rangers, scoring 75 goals and adding 89 assists in 378 career regular season games.

The 29-year-old netminder has a 3.27 GAA and .877 SV% in 13 appearances this season (4-5-3). The Canucks enter Friday's contest as +145 road underdogs against a Stars club that will be without Miro Heiskanen (knee) indefinitely.
