The Canucks came into this game with five road wins. They left with the same number.
Perhaps we can write this loss off as just running into a better team. However, if Vancouver wishes to make the playoffs they’ll need to start picking up points in road games, especially against teams ahead of them in the standings.
Otherwise, why bother playing road games at all?
To their credit, they did overcome some early struggles and make the game interesting. But it was all for naught, as the Chicago Blackhawks scored first and last to pull ahead at the end.
