Lack is likely to receive the start in goal Thursday against the Coyotes. The Canucks activated Ryan Miller (knee) from injured reserve earlier Thursday and will have him available for the game, but it sounds like coach Willie Desjardins will use the goalie in a backup capacity in an effort to ease him back into action. As a result, Lack figures to make what could be his final start of the regular season, as the Canucks would likely turn to Miller for Saturday's finale against the Oilers. With a 2.52 GAA and .919 save percentage over 40 outings this season, Lack's performance has stacked up favorably with Miller's, but the latter's larger contract and greater experience in high-pressure games may force Lack to assume a No. 2 role during the playoffs.
