With more and more regulars out of the lineup, the Vancouver Canucksneeded Ryan Miller at the top of his game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Nikolay Goldobin is still out with the flu. Brendan Gaunce sustained an upper-body injury last game and was unavailabe. Tonight, Markus Granlund and Chris Tanev were late scratches with food poisoning. Joseph LaBate, Alexandre Grenier and Philip Larsen drew back into the lineup, while Alex Biega played as a forward once again.
And although it wasn’t enough to win them the game, their goaltender was indeed at his very best.
