Don’t look now, but the Canucks are in a playoff spot!
Road wins have been hard to come by this season, but Vancouver was facing a Colorado Avalanche team that they had already beaten twice. The Avs are just as bad at home as the Canucks have been on the road. They entered tonight with just one win in their past 14 games, while Vancouver had managed nine in the same number of games.
So, this was as good a matchup as Willie Desjardins’ team could hope for. Despite coughing up a two goal laed, they managed to pull away in the end for just their sixth road win of the year.
