Last night was not a match for the ages. Not a clash between titans, but an opportunity for the Vancouver Canucks to get out of their worst losing streak of the season. Willie Desjardins and his LA Kings delivered, showing why they belong in 31st place. But let’s be honest here, the Canucks beat the worst team in the league. The bar doesn’t get lower than that, but you have to give it to them for breaking the streak.
Over on the farm, the Utica Comets finally received some help. Anders Nilsson‘s return to the Canucks lineup allowed Richard Bachman to head back to the AHL.
