With Elias Pettersson back to his dominant scoring ways and Brock Boeser healthy again, the Vancouver Canucks overwhelmed the Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues, using the dynamic scoring duo to pick up victories in their last two games.
The Canucks have just two three-game winning streaks this season, having last accomplished the feat in their thrilling Nov. 2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche. Do do it again, they’ll have to solve the Columbus Blue Jackets on the road, led by former head coach and pal John Tortorella.
Columbus sits second in the Metropolitan Division with a 16-11-2 record, three points behind the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals.
