The Matchup
This is the second time the teams are seeing each other following the Wranglers home-opener, double-header, where they split.
Since then, the Wranglers have built a 20-9-1 record, sitting atop the Pacific and the league, despite their recent losses against Henderson, Ontario, and Coachella Valley.
The Canucks are entering the matchup seventh in the Pacific Division, with a 14-12-0 record.
Abbotsford enters the battle following a back-to-back 4-2 losses against the Tucson Roadrunners Dec. 20 and 21.
The 'Best Of The West' tensions are high, with three Vancouver teams coming into the 'Dome in the span of three days (NLL's Vancouver Warriors, Abbotsford Canucks, and Vancouver Canucks).
