The Vancouver Canucks are still alive.
After losing four games in a row, they had fallen to seven points below the playoff bar. To make matters worse, they were heading out on a six-game road trip — and they had the worst road record in the NHL.
Beating the Columbus Blue Jackets at home is a tall order for any team. But Vancouver exceeded expectations and played an excellent road game. Ryan Miller stopped all 33 shots, and the Sedins combined for four points to lead their team to victory.
Final Score:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | T | |
