There’s no denying that the Vancouver Canucks have missed out on several prime opportunities during their six-game homestand.
Vancouver has dropped three of five, with two of those losses coming against non-playoff teams in the Anaheim Ducks and Minnesota Wild. They’ve slipped from first in the Pacific Division down to third, and the Canucks are only two points clear of the Arizona Coyotes — though Vancouver has four games in hand — and four up on the Nashville Predators, the top two teams on the outside looking in.
Simply put, the Canucks have to come away with two points here against the Boston Bruins.
