The Vancouver Canucks now get to spend some quality time with their family members and friends, and the Christmas break couldn’t come at a more opportune time. They won’t play again until Thursday, when they host the struggling Chicago Blackhawks.
Heading into the Christmas break, the Canucks have lost four-straight, and eight out of their last nine overall. And it’s not just the losses, but the way Vancouver has been dominated all over the ice.
Jacob Markstrom made 31 saves against an elite Blues squad, but the Canucks could only provide him with one goal on the night.
