Remember when Anders Nilsson was legitimately going to challenge Jacob Markstrom for the number one job?
That’s how many believed the Canucks season was going to play out in October. After Nilsson signed at two-year, $5 million deal on the dawn of free agency, it looked like the Canucks brought on a sneaky-good addition to the team. It looked like Nilsson could go into stealth mode and steal the number one job from Markstrom.
Well, so much for that.
After posting two shutouts in his first two starts as a Canuck, it’s been a downhill slide for Nilsson.
