Following a thrilling comeback against the Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles Kings (on the road, no less), the Vancouver Canucks appeared to have caught the Vegas Golden Knights at the right time
Vegas was coming off an embarrassing 8-2 drubbing to the Edmonton Oilers, and had to use their No. 4 goaltender in Maxime Lagace. But it was the Golden Knights who bounced back, crushing the Canucks by a final score of 5-2, though they could have easily won by more.
The Canucks have now lost six of their last nine games, and it marked the third time they lost by three or more goals in their last four games.
