Remember when the Vancouver Canucks soundly defeated the San Jose Sharks 5-2 back on Nov. 2, thus moving to 9-3-2 on the season? That feels like a lifetime ago.
Once again, Vancouver has rapidly unraveled in the month of November. Tuesday’s ugly 6-1 road loss to the Dallas Stars marked the Canucks’ third straight loss, and a seventh defeat in the last eight games.
With that, the Canucks sit at a mere 10-8-4 on the season. The Vegas Golden Knights have moved ahead to place third in the Pacific Division, and Vancouver is only one point up on the Calgary Flames for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference.
