Well, I give up on figuring out the puzzle.
For one month, the Vancouver Canucks looked like a bonafide playoff contender. Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat were getting it done as the dynamic scoring duo. Brock Boeser was scoring aplenty before his groin injury. Jake Virtanen has also had flashes here and there.
The goaltending and defence were doing just enough to help the Canucks escape with some W’s. What happened to that? Good luck figuring it out.
Vancouver seemingly put its slump to rest after a crucial 4-2 road win over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
