Pavol Demitra will definitely not be playing tonight for the Canucks in Game 3 here in Chicago. His unspecified injury will be re-evaluated within the week.
As for Sami Salo, it looks like he's about to return to be with his teammates here in Chicago. Whether or not he'll be healthy enough to appear in Game 4 is still up in the air.
Taylor Pyatt and Ossi Vaananen both make their series debuts tonight.

Canucks Hawks Game Day #3
Only a handful of players from each team skated this morning in preparation for Game 3 at the United Center.
Pavol Demitra is a game-time decision heading into the game after being off the ice the last few days. If he's not good to go, Mason Raymond will likely take his place on the line with Mats Sundin and Ryan Kesler. Taylor Pyatt would likely draw in to play with Kyle Wellwood and Steve Bernier. Pyatt has missed the last 11 Canucks games following the death of his fiance.
Ossi Vaananen will make his 2nd appearance of the post-season and likely be paired up on defence with Willie Mitchell. Vaananen had just over eight minutes of ice time in Vancouver's 3-2 overtime win in Game 4 against the St. Louis Blues.
The Hawks are not expected to make any changes for this evening. Tonight is the first home game the Hawks have played in the month of May since 1996. Currently undefeated at home in the playoffs, they posted 24 wins during the regular season. The last time they had that many wins at the United Center came in the 2001-02 season.
Here are the expected line-ups for Game 3 tonight in Chicago:
Canucks:
D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Burrows
Raymond - Sundin - Kesler
Pyatt - Wellwood - Bernier
Hordichuk - Johnson - Rypien
Mitchell - Vaananen
Ohlund - Edler
Bieksa - O'Brien
Hawks:
Sharp - Toews - Kane
Ladd - Bolland - Havlat
Versteeg - Pahlsson - Byfuglien
Eager - Burish - Brouwer
Keith - Seabrook

Canucks Blackhawks Monday Practice
The Canucks are in the Windy City after splitting their opening two games of their 2nd round playoffs series with the Blackhawks.
Both teams skated today at the United Center. Pavol Demitra did not skate for Vancouver while Sammy Pahlsson was absent for the Hawks. Both players were taking maintenance days.
Saturday's 6-3 loss in Game 2 was Vancouver's first home ice defeat of the post-season, and just their 2nd regulation time loss at GM Place in their last 19 games. The Canucks were out-shot 32-21 on the night. The only time they have out-shot the opposition in the playoffs came in Game 1 of the series with the St. Louis Blues.
Sami Salo suffered a lower body injury after scoring the opening goal of the game on a power play. He did not travel with the team to Chicago and it's undetermined whether or not he'll be healthy enough to join the team for Games 3 and 4 at the United Center. For what it's worth, when Salo was out of the line-up in December and January, the Canucks won just four of 15 games.
The Hawks come home after putting eight goals behind Roberto Luongo in the opening two games at GM Place. They are undefeated at home in the playoffs, having out-scored the Calgary Flames 11-5 in three games.14 players have scored a goal in the playoffs for Chicago, the most of any team in the post season. Brent Seabrook has the longest active point scoring streak for Chicago, with one goal and six assists in his last five games.

Canucks & Hawks Game Day #2
The Canucks, minus Mattias Ohlund and Rick Rypien, took part in game day skate this morning while the Blackhawks opted to take the day off the ice in preparation for Game 2 at GM Place this evening.
The Canucks 5-3 victory in Game 1 was the first time in the post season where they have scored more than three goals in a single game. Their record in the regular season when scoring four-or-more was a sparkling 28-2-3.
Game 1 also marked the first time in the playoffs where the Canucks allowed three goals against in one period of play. Vancouver allowed three goals in a single period 13 times during the regular season, five times in October and five times when Roberto Luongo was sidelined with his long-term injury. Only once this year have the Canucks allowed three goals in a third period on home ice, which occured in a 6-4 loss to the St. Louis Blues January 9.

When you add the total from Game 1 and their four-game season series with Vancouver, the Hawks have given the Canucks 32 power plays this year.

Roller Coaster Victory For Canucks In Game 1 vs Hawks
By no means was it a conventional way to win an opening game of the playoff series for the Canucks. However, they’ll take what they got Thursday night as Vancouver opened up their Western Conference semi final series with a 5-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Despite not having played for nine days, the Canucks were well-deserving to have the lead heading into the first intermission break. While on a power play, Kyle Wellwood was able to get the puck to the left corner for Mats Sundin. He wasted no time feathering a great pass across the crease to Pavol Demitra on the opposite side of the net. Demitra managed to scoop a shot past Nikolai Khabibulin for his first goal of the post-season. Demitra’s first goal in eight straight games came at 15:22.
Early on in the 2nd period, Vancouver built on their lead. Daniel Sedin took a pass behind the Hawks net from Steve Bernier and immediately dished the puck in front for his brother. Henrik Sedin’s close range chance found its way through the pads of the Chicago netminder. For Henrik, it was his 2nd of the playoffs put the home team up by a pair at 5:13.
On the next shift, a scary incident occurred when Ben Eager hit Rick Rypien at the Hawks blue line in the head well away from the puck. Rypien was alright and Eager only received two minutes for roughing. However, the NHL head office will likely review the tape of the incident as it was definitely a hit that border-lined on an offense that warrants a suspension.
Before the before was over, the Canucks made it a 3-0 contest on a goal similar to the one Sedin scored. This time it was Wellwood behind the goal finding Ryan Kesler at the top of the crease. The recent nominee for the Frank J. Selke Trophy buried his first ever NHL playoff goal, with Alexander Edler notching the other assist at 15:23.
The Canucks looked to have things in total control heading into the third period. They had not allowed a goal against in the final frame of regulation so far in the playoffs, but that all changed 61 seconds into the frame. Patrick Kane was able to roof a snap shot from the left face off circle over the shoulder of Roberto Luongo. Duncan Keith and Martin Havlat help Kane net his third goal of the playoffs for the visitors.
Darcy Hordichuk found himself in the penalty box at the midway point of the period on a roughing call and the Hawks made him pay. Brent Seabrook’s shot would be denied by Luongo, but the rebound would be gobbled up by Kane and stuffed home. Kris Versteeg hits the score sheet on Kane’s second of the period and it came at 10:11.
In their opening round series against the Calgary Flames, the Hawks were able to erase a three-goal deficit on the road in Game 4. They did it again at GM Place on this night as Dave Bolland deposited a rebound chance for his first ever NHL playoff goal. Keith and Eager collect the assists on the Hawks equalizer at 14:31.
Just when it looked like the game was destined for overtime, the Canucks found a way to get the lead back and it came in a very unusual manner. A turnover occurred inside the Vancouver line and the Canucks were able to break up the ice in a 4-on-1 rush. Mason Raymond carried the puck up the left wing and fed a great pass across the slot to Bernier. His one-timer was denied on a great save by Khabibulin, but the rebound would be shoveled in by Sami Salo. For Salo, who had the game winner in the series opener against the St. Louis Blues, he winds up doing the same against Chicago. His 2nd of the playoffs also proved to be his first even-strength goal of the year at 18:47.
The Hawks were able to get their net empty and have the extra attacker on the ice for the final few shifts of the game. However, the Canucks got free out of their own end with the puck and Alex Burrows gave the puck to a wide open Ryan Johnson, who had little trouble netting the insurance goal the Canucks needed to seal the win. Johnson’s first ever playoff goal came with 16 seconds left on the clock.
Final shots on net favoured Chicago 31-27 in a game which saw the home team have a total of 32 shots that were credited as shots that were either blocked or missed the net. The Canucks capped off the night going 1-for-7 on the power play while the Blackhawks went 1-for-3. Vancouver was very strong in the face off circle, winning 63% of the draws in the game.
Having gone undefeated in their first five playoff games, the Canucks extend their winning streak to eight straight overall. Wellwood, who was named the game’s 2nd star, extended his point scoring streak to three straight games (1g,3a).
Game 2 of this series will take place Saturday night at GM Place. Face off will be 6:00pm PST.

Canucks/Hawks Game Day #1
The Canucks and Blackhawks get set to open up Round 2 at General Motors Place tonight. Four points separated the two teams during the regular season in a year where both clubs had the same number of home ice wins (24) and victories when scoring first (33).
The Canucks have not played since April 21 when they finished off their sweep of the St. Louis Blues. Including the end of the regular season, Vancouver enters this series riding a seven-game winning streak. Roberto Luongo enters the 2nd round of the playoffs leading the NHL in goals against average (1.15) and save percentage (96.2%).
The Hawks enter the Conference semi finals leading the NHL in playoff scoring (21 goals for). 15 Chicago players have collected at least a point while 10 players have registered 10 or more shots on goal. Chicago is also looking to cap off what's been a fantastic month of April. Including the regular season, the Hawks are 10-2-1 heading into tonight's game.
Nikolai Khabibulin is one of three players on the Hawks line-up that has a Stanley Cup ring (Tampa Bay 2004). Despite performing well in the opening round against Calgary, he has struggled against Vancouver. In his two losses this year against Vancouver, he had a 4.87 GAA and a save percentage of 80.0%.
