A 6-6-0 start is something the Vancouver Canucks have to be happy with, given the rash of injuries and the fact only two players have been scoring consistently.
Future captain Bo Horvat leads the team with seven goals and two assists on the season, even though he’s had to play a bulk of the campaign without star linemate Brock Boeser. Rookie Elias Pettersson is second in team scoring with five goals and three assists, and keep in mind he missed six games with a head injury.
This isn’t to suggest the Canucks are supposed to be a scoring machine, but it’s fair to ask why the team has lacked secondary scoring, a month through the season.
