It’s no secret that the Vancouver Canucks have been struggling with offence for the last few years. That tends to happen with consecutive bottom three finishes, with a third one likely at the conclusion of this season.
Vancouver is on pace for 220 goals this season, a potential 42 goal increase on last year’s dismal effort. However, that total would only be good enough for 18th in the NHL last season and this year has seen a higher rate of goal scoring compared to last year. Even if the Canucks reach that total, who knows where they will stand with the rest of the teams in the league.
