HSH’s Canucks Scouting Report (Pro-Con-Clusion #29): One year later, Pearson providing value based on contract

Is there anything this Canucks team isn’t doing right?

With an astonishing record of 21-8-4 under Bruce Boudreau, the team has legitimately entered the conversation for a playoff spot.

Sitting just 3 points back of Dallas for the last Wild Card spot and 4 points back of Vegas for 3rd in the Pacific Division, the Canucks find themselves right back in the race, and if they keep this pace up for the last 24 games of the season, the playoffs are not that far from reality.

Over the last 2 games in particular, Vancouver was able to outscore its defensive problems and achieve a couple of gutsy victories, with a 6-4 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, and a 5-3 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.
