Vancouver Canucks: Power rankings through week five

The Vancouver Canucks put together their best week of the young 2018-19 season, taking down the Minnesota Wild, Chicago Blackhawks and Colorado Avalanche in home contests to move to 9-6-0.

Elias Pettersson put the league on notice with a gutsy effort against the Avalanche. He registered five points and guided Vancouver to a thrilling 7-6 overtime against their former Northwest Division rivals.

Following the impressive 3-0-0 week, the Canucks saw themselves move up in power rankings across the NHL, and rightfully so. Despite a handful of injuries to key players, head coach Travis Green is finding ways to help this group grind out victories.
