The Vancouver Canucks sit at 14-16-4 through their first 34 games of the season, which isn’t that bad when you consider the amount of injuries to core players like Brock Boeser, Sven Baertschi and Alexander Edler.
In comparison to last season, the Canucks were 15-15-4 through their first 34 games. Hardly a difference, but this year’s team looks considerably better than the 2017-18 club. Some guy named Elias Pettersson has something to do with that.
Last year, the Canucks were better than the 2015-16 and 2016-17 teams that finished 28th and 29th in the league standings, respectively.
