In this edition of The Whiteboard, the Canucks kick off a four-game homestand against the Chicago Blackhawks, with a motivated Connor Bedard looking to change his fortunes in Vancouver. The guys note that contract talks between Bedard and the Blackhawks show little urgency despite the team’s recent progress. Conor Garland rejoins the first power-play unit at practice, Teddy Blueger skates early, and Kevin Lankinen is set to start in goal for Chicago.
