Two weeks ago, the Vancouver Canucks entered the month of November with a beautiful 8-3-1 record, having won eight of their last 10 games.
Following a 2-1 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Nov. 1, Vancouver regrouped and soundly defeated the San Jose Sharks 5-2. But the team proceeded to lose four games in a row, and the performances in those contests weren’t exactly inspiring.
It looked like the Canucks had regained their form following a convincing 5-3 home win against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Instead, they went back to old habits on Thursday night in a disappointing 4-2 home loss to the Dallas Stars
Canucks fans don’t need a reminder about how brutal the month of November has been to this team in recent years.
