Following a frustrating 0-2 start to the season, the Vancouver Canucks rebounded quickly, having gone 7-1-1 over their last nine games.
Entering play on Tuesday, the Canucks hold the seventh seed in the Western Conference. They’re tied with the Arizona Coyotes for third in the Pacific Division — and only two points behind the Edmonton Oilers — who’ve played one more game than Vancouver.
The Canucks are coming off a 7-2 drubbing at home to the Florida Panthers, who came into Rogers Arena on an eight-game point streak. Vancouver now owns the league’s best goal differential at plus-15.
