The Vancouver Canucks play their third game of a six-game road trip Saturday night.
Perhaps appearing in the early game on Hockey Night in Canada can change their fortunes. If not that, then perhaps the Canucks can take advantage of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have the fourth-worst defense in the NHL.
So far this season, Vancouver has made defenses look good. Goaltenders too; whether that be a Vezina-trophy-winner Carey Price or the recently-waived Mike Condon.
On paper, the Maple Leafs look like a beatable team for the Canucks.
