Brisebois has spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign with the Abbotsford Canucks, tallying six points (1G / 5A) in 36 games. He was the third-round pick of Vancouver in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and has played 27 career NHL games.
Pettersson is coming off of a three-year bridge deal that carried a $7.35M AAV cap-hit. The 25-year-old is on-pace for 99 points this season, after posting a career-best 102 points in 2022-23. In the last two seasons combined, Pettersson is tied for 7th in the NHL with 177 points (68G / 109A) in 142 games.
Bains first taste of NHL action is over after a decent five-game showing as he was reassigned to Abbotsford (AHL) on Friday. The 23-year-old undrafted rookie is one of the NHL's most interesting and impressive stories this season but unfortunately, he failed to produce in his short showing with zero points, three SOG, six PIMs and a -3 plus/minus while averaging a decent 12:57 TOI per game.
Demko will start for the fifth straight game as the Cancuks are mired in a stretch with only one win in their last seven outings. Demko allowed four goals on 40 shots (.900 SV%) in a 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday and has allowed four goals in three of his last five outings (2-2-1). The Canucks enter action as -144 home favourites against a Los Angeles Kings club that has lost three of their last four (1-3-0).

Demko will make his fourth straight start on Tuesday as he expectedly takes the crease vs. Pittsburgh and looks to extend his personal win streak to two games. The 28-year-old is a deserved front-runner for this year's Vezina Trophy, with his 31-12-1 record, 2.47 GAA, .915 SV% and 5 shutouts. He will host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, who have won their last two games to remain in the playoff race but are 20th in the NHL in goals per game (2.98).

Demko will return to the crease for the second straight game as the Canucks look to snap a three-game losing skid where they have been outscored 17-10. That said, the California-born netminder played well in a 3-1 losing effort on Tuesday, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%). The Canucks are -126 road favourites in a tilt against their division rivals, the Seattle Kraken.

Juuse Saros will get the night off on Tuesday as the Predators will turn to Lankinen for the first time since January 27th. Lankinen's most recent appearance came last Thursday against the Stars, when he allowed five goals on 23 shots in relief of Saros as the Predators were blown out 9-2. Lankinen owns a 6-4-0 record and an .889 SV% across 15 games this season. He draws a difficult matchup in Vegas on Tuesday, though the Predators do get the benefit of facing the Golden Knights on the tail-end of their back-to-back.
Bains was recalled last week by Vancouver and could make his NHL debut on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche. The undrafted 23-year-old has enjoyed an impressive season in the AHL, scoring 39 points (9G / 30A) in 42 games with the Abbotsford Canucks.
After witnessing his team give up 10 goals as the backup in a 10-7 loss to the Minnesota Wild yesterday, the Canucks will turn to their starting goalie Demko on Tuesday night. Demko saw his three-game winning streak end in his last outing, giving up four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The Canucks face off against the Colorado Avalanche as +126 road underdogs in a battle of Western Conference heavyweights. Demko tended the twine against the Avalanche on November 22nd and allowed four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a 5-2 loss.
Demko will start for the third straight game on Thursday, attempting to extend his two-game winning streak. Demko has been stellar in his last two games (2-0-0), saving 52 of 56 shots (.928 SV%) and has limited the opposition to two or fewer goals in six of his last nine contests (8-1-0). The Canucks are -181 home favourites, looking for revenge against a Detroit Red Wings club that defeated them 4-3 in overtime less than a week ago.
Gallagher was handed a match penalty for an illegal check to the head of New York's Adama Pelech on January 25th and was suspended for five games. The 31-year-old's frustration boiled over as he is in the midst of another disappointing season with only eight goals, eight assists 103 SOG, 47 PIMs and a -21 plus/minus in 48 games played this season.
Demko was excellent his last time out, stopping 31 of the 33 shots he faced in a 3-2 overtime victory in Washington on Sunday. The 28-year-old netminder is in the midst of an outstanding season with the Canucks, posting a .919 SV% and 2.45 GAA to go along with a league-leading tally of 28 wins. He's a safe bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday, with the Canucks being favoured at -260 to pick up the victory in Chicago over the lowly Blackhawks.
