Things couldn’t have gone much for the Vancouver Canucks over the past week, and tonight’s tilt against the Arizona Coyotes will say a lot about this team.
The problems began when the Canucks found out that they would be without goalie Jacob Markstrom for at least a couple of weeks with a knee injury. Then they came away with zero points over a four-day span with losses to the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets.
Worse yet, the Canucks have received almost no outside help in the tight playoff race.
