Takeaways

Before we delve in, it would be remiss to not acknowledge the passing of the last Canuck from the 1945-56 season, Ernie Dougherty. He will be greatly missed.

Back to the game: not much went wrong for the Canucks, who scored a goal in virtually every way, except for an empty net. Miller picked up his second four point game of the season, and Pettersson had his fourth consecutive multi-point game. That brings his point total to 37 on the season.

Three’s the magic number: the Canucks are 20-3-0 when scoring three or more goals, and 18-3-3 when the power play strikes.

Black skate jerseys: fans want them, Canucks players want them, make it happen! If Arizona can do it, then so can we.

If the Canucks can keep up the even-strength play, capitalize on extra-man chances, and get a competitive Jaroslav Halak in a back-to-back game, the Canucks will have a chance to close the gap. As of right now, they sit three points back from the wildcard spot.

Three assets the Canucks could receive in a Miller trade with the Leafs. dark. Next

Vancouver will be on the road for four games, starting with the New York Rangers. In a perfect world, the Canucks will walk away with eight points. Realistically, six will cut it, and nothing less. Puck drop is at 4:30 PM.
