Before last night’s game, the Canucks were on a four-game losing streak. In November, the Canucks beat the Preds twice with 5-3 and 6-3 wins.
Eight minutes into the first period, Zack MacEwen of the Canucks scored the first goal. After a feed to the slot by J.T. Miller, MacEwen ripped it past Pekka Rinne with a clean wrist shot.
Takeaways from the loss
Before the loss, Coach John Hynes echoed the next to be more consistent and being stronger mentally when things don’t go the team’s way, per Brooks Bratten:
“We need to come in here and have a real focused effort, should be a real intense game, both teams have a lot to play for.
