This is the second time these two teams have squared off in the postseason, with the first occasion occurring on Vancouver's magical run in 2011.
Puck drop for the Canucks and Predators game is at 7 pm.
Only two games were played on Saturday as the New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes got their series started as well as the Toronto Maple Leafs versus the Boston Bruins.
The Hurricanes prevailed 3-1 in their series opener thanks to a pair of third-period goals.
