As the Vancouver Canucks get set to face the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, the team learned on Wednesday morning that Matthew Highmore has returned to the lineup after being out in COVID protocol. JPat and Wadden breakdown what Highmore will bring to the lineup, after skating on his usual line with Tyler Motte and Juho Lammikko at practice. The boys also debate whether a best-on-best international tournament is better served at the Olympics or at a World Cup of hockey.

Kevin Woodley from InGoal Magazine joins to talk about the Canucks goaltending and whether or not Thatcher Demko should be in consideration for the Vezina Trophy this season.
