The Vancouver Canucks were far from perfect on Tuesday night, but there’s plenty to feel good about after a 5-3 road win against the red-hot Calgary Flames. That’s one way of forgetting about Monday’s frustrating 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
Jacob Markstrom — who has been arguably the most impressive and dominant Canuck thus far — didn’t have his best game. Once again, the defencemen were out of position too frequently and sloppy in their own zone.
But this time, the Canucks forwards took charge and led the Canucks to a thrilling 5-3 win.
