The Vancouver Canucks entered the All-Star break atop the Pacific Division, and they’re in prime position to end a five-year playoff drought come April.
Nobody is surprised about the performances of Elias Pettersson (21 goals, 51 points), Brock Boeser (16 goals, 43 points), Bo Horvat (16 goals, 42 points) and reigning team MVP Jacob Markstrom (18-13-3 with a .916 save percentage).
And of course, rookie sensation Quinn Hughes is living up to the hype, with 34 points in 48 games. The 20-year-old is poised to earn a Calder Trophy nomination.
