The Canucks pulled off another one-goal win on home ice on Friday.
That game against the Florida Panthers was made extraordinary by Henrik Sedin scoring his 1000th NHL point. Other than that, the game was just yet another example of some ongoing trends for Vancouver.
First, they don’t score a lot. They only scored two goals, and it took them 26 minutes to get their first. The Canucks’ offense tends to show up late to most games.
Second, they got great goaltending. Since Christmas, the points have kept rolling in for Vancouver. Goaltending is a big reason, particularly the play of Ryan Miller, who has started the bulk of games.
