2. The offence comes back to lfie

The Canucks couldn’t solve Alex Stalock in Game 1 and it had many fans wondering if the Canucks offence would get back on track. The wait wasn’t long. Just 24 seconds into the first period, Tanner Pearson went top shelf on Stalock ending his shutout streak with an absolute rocket.

Vancouver got a couple in the second period to cushion the lead. JT Miller went bar down after Elias Pettersson forced a Wild turnover. Just take a look at this magical shot!

Minnesota native Brock Boeser also got on the board later in the period (a huge weight off his shoulders). Alex Edler threw the puck on net, which was tipped by Pettersson and Boeser was right on the doorstep for the goal. And of course, there was the Horvat power play goal in the third mentioned above.

It wasn’t just the goal scoring, the Canucks offence felt alive. In Game 1, it was dead. They were firing on all cylinders tonight and looked poised to score more goals. They looked great off the rush and in the offensive zone for pretty much the entire game. Hopefully, the offensive energy remains consistent for the remainder of the series.
