Other Notes

  • The Canucks as a whole had an expected goals percentage of 39.12% according to Natural Stat Trick
  • Brandon Sutter and Marc Michaelis did not play as they are out with upper-body injuries bringing the Canucks injured list to eight players and that saw Tyler Graovac drew into the lineup
  • As he has done all season, Hoglander showed a lot of effort and skill. He had an assist as well as over 20 minutes of ice time.
  • Jack Rathbone was also called up from the taxi squad earlier on Tuesday and Jonah Gadjovich will join the team in Winnipeg on May 10th per the Canucks Public Relations Twitter account.
  • It was also the night of the Botchford Project, which is a media mentorship program that gives an aspiring writer to cover a Canucks game and write an article for the Canucks website in honour of the late Jason Botchford. This year was different due to COVID-19 but three aspiring writers, Clarissa Sabile (@quinnsedgework) of Canucks Army, Lachlan Irvine (@Lachinthecrease) of Lachinthecrease.com and the Creasecast and Arash Memarzadeh (@ArashMemarzadeh) of the Pucks on Net podcast got the privilege to sit in the press box and will each have an article on Canucks.Com sometime soon. Check out their work and if you’re on Twitter give them a follow.
