Canucks blow 2-0 3rd period lead, fall to Red Wings 3-2 in overtime

It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

That's something the Canucks know all too well by this point as they suffered another crushing defeat after blowing a 3rd period lead. Vancouver led 2-0 over the Red Wings heading into the final period and looked as if they'd cruise to an easy win. However, Detroit dominated the third, scoring two goals in the span of about 90 seconds to tie the game, eventually winning it in overtime.

Ryan Miller looked dominant early and made 25 saves on the night, but couldn't hold off the Red Wings' attack in the final period.
