The Vancouver Canucks have fallen. After sitting at the top of the Pacific Division just a few weeks ago, a three-game losing steak now finds them just two points above the Coyotes. With two games in hand, Vancouver will be looking to get back on track against the Coyotes tonight in Vancouver.
It is weird to imagine how these two teams are in the same boat. If the Coyotes miss the playoffs fans should be upset, and change will likely happen. The same is true for Vancouver. Both teams are young and have a pretty good mixture of veteran leadership and young untapped skill.
