A large portion of Vancouver Canucks fans won’t be happy about the victory, but this was arguably the team’s best performance of the season. A full 60 minutes were played, the team was clean in all aspects and Bo Horvat became the third Canuck to score 20 goals on the season.
There is a downside to this all, though. The Arizona Coyotes, Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators were all losers on Thursday. Vancouver moves up to the 29th spot in the NHL standings, but they’re now just four points behind Detroit for sixth-last in the NHL.
