Last night the Canucks survived the first period and then let loose with 5 goals against a bad Arizona team. Tonight the Canucks face an Islanders team, that score less goals per game than the Canucks do. (Canucks are 28th in GF/GP...Islanders are 30th.) The Canucks and Islanders are very similar when it comes to their record.....they are both average. The Islanders scorers are not scoring. The defense is keeping them in most games and the special teams are not that special. While the Canucks can still see a playoff spot off in the distance, the Islanders (who do have games in hand) are far out.
