First, the Vancouver Canucks set a new record with four straight 5-2 losses. Then, they beat the Colorado Avalanche — a legitimate playoff contender — with a convincing 5-1 score. What is this team doing?
Who knows, but here’s how they are doing compared to their Pacific Division foes.
7. Edmonton Oilers (last week: 7)
Last Week’s Record: 0-3-0
Overall Record: 22-32-6
Three straight losses last week put the Oilers back into last place. Well, they are tied with the Toronto Maple Leafs and lose the tie breaker, but they also have three more games played.
