The Vancouver Canucks sat at 14-10-4 on Dec. 5. Since then, they’ve lost 10 of their last 12 games, and have fallen completely out of the playoff race. With injuries to Bo Horvat, Sven Baertschi and Chris Tanev, the Canucks are looking at a third consecutive non-playoff season, and you can expect general manager Jim Benning to become a seller at the trade deadline.
With a brutal slump that has the Canucks in prime position to land a top-five pick yet again, they’ve fallen further and further in NHL power rankings across the web.
