The toughest stretch of the season begins on Tuesday for the Vancouver Canucks.
NHL schedule 2015: Canucks visit Boston lacking Ryan Miller
Eddie Lack (get the pun?) will man the pipes for Vancouver against the Bruins on Tuesday.

With starting goalie Ryan Miller sidelined with an injury for the next 4-6 weeks, the Canucks will have to continue their battle for a playoff spot with Eddie Lack in net. The journey won't start with a soft opponent. Lack will get the start in snowy Boston on Tuesday, in the season's final matchup between the 2011 Stanley Cup Final opponents.
Lack is no pushover, but this is a Bruins team fresh off a 6-2 drubbing of the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center on Sunday. Boston is heating up, but they do have one factor that could even the odds against the Ryan Miller-less Canucks. Center David Krejci is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks as well with an injury of his own.
It should be an interesting matchup between two desperate teams, but it’s certainly not the only entertainment around the league on Tuesday. Ten games are on tap, and each of them should be as exciting as the last.
