VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks will turn to veteran goalie Ryan Miller for tonight's must-win Game 5 against the Calgary Flames.
Calgary leads the best-of-seven Western Conference quarter-final 3-1 and can close out things out with a victory at Rogers Arena.
The 34-year-old Miller has made just one start since injuring his knee in February, but stopped all 15 shots he faced after coming on in relief of Eddie Lack in Tuesday's 3-1 loss in Game 4.
Meanwhile, the Canucks will also insert forward Sven Baertschi into the lineup.
The 22-year-old was acquired from the Flames in a trade earlier this season and was recalled from the American Hockey League prior to Game 4. The 22-year-old had two goals in three regular-season games with Vancouver,
Baertschi, the 13th overall pick in the 2011 draft, skated on a line with Nick Bonino and Radim Vrbata at practice yesterday.
