The Canucks came into Montreal with a 1-3-1 record on this long road trip so far. Things didn’t seem as they would get better as Burrows headed back to Vancouver to be there for the birth of his son Jacob. Hunter Shirkaruk got the start tonight and we get to see if he can remember the nets are the same size in the NHL as they are in the AHL.
First Period
The Canucks fourth line reappeared tonight and got things going early as Higgins went into the corner, got the puck back out to the center of the ice and eventually Cracknell puts it back into the net for his third.
