Vancouver Canucks fans won’t be complaining about the team snatching three of an available four points through its first two games. Beating the Edmonton Oilers was impressive enough, and getting one point from the 2017 Eastern Conference runner up in the Ottawa Senators wasn’t so bad.
But in reality, it’s hard for the players to be optimistic after settling for one point. Vancouver had the chance to bury the Senators, but this Ottawa team would never go away.
Ryan Dzingel tied the game up in the third period, and Craig Anderson turned aside some golden Canucks scoring chances.
