Canucks: Despite losing skid, now’s not the time to worry

After winning the first two of a five-game road trip, the Vancouver Canucks proceeded to lose the final three contests — and their lead on the Pacific Division is down to two points.

Vancouver (65 points) is barely ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights (63 points), though it should be noted that the Pacific Division leaders have played one less game. The Edmonton Oilers aren’t far behind at 62 points, and they have a game in hand on the Canucks.

But the three-game losing skid isn’t the biggest concern in Vancouver. Rather, it’s the health of Elias Pettersson, who was inactive in Thursday’s 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild.
