Ducks fans can get their first glimpse of free-agent signee Saku Koivu in an Anaheim uniform tonight, when he’s scheduled to be in the lineup against Vancouver at the Honda Center.

What’s interesting from the preliminary lineup furnished by the Ducks is that Koivu and fellow Finn Teemu Selanne are on different lines. Of course, that could -- and probably will -- change at some point.

Here are the planned goaltenders, lines and defense pairs for the 7 p.m. game, which will be second of four games for the Ducks on four consecutive nights:

Josh Brittain-Saku Koivu-Corey Perry Kyle Calder-Andrew Ebbett-Teemu Selanne

Ryan Donally-Todd Marchant-George Parros

Matt McCue-Brandon McMillan-Shawn Weller

Scott Niedermayer-Matt Clark Mark Mitera-James Wisniewski

Ryan Whitney-Stefan Warg

Jean-Sebastien Giguere Justin Pogge
