The Vancouver Canucks didn't get quite the result they wanted out of their first playoff game in five years.
The Canucks last saw postseason action in 2015 when the Calgary Flames eliminated them from the Western Conference quarterfinals in six games of a best-of-seven series.
Five years later, they're shaking off the playoff rust but already down one game to the Minnesota Wild, losing 3-0 Sunday in the opener of a best-of-five qualifying series. Game 2 is set for Tuesday in Edmonton.
"That's not the start we wanted," said Jacob Markstrom, who made 28 saves for the Canucks.
