Canucks experience major setback before tonight's game against the Oilers

A tweet from Jason Gregor revealed the grim news: With a flu outbreak in their locker room, the Canucks are at a significant disadvantage against the powerful Oilers.

Adding to their woes, the Canucks are missing defenseman Carson Soucy, a key player they could have used, especially since their defense has struggled this season.

As they prepare to face an Oilers team hungry for their first win of the season, the Canucks find themselves in a tough position. Overcoming the flu outbreak and the absence of key players won't be easy, and their ability to do so will be closely watched.

Tonight, it's a test of resilience for the Canucks as they battle not only the Oilers but also the flu that has thrown a wrench into their plans. They face an uphill battle and will need to dig deep to overcome these challenges.
