Vancouver’s offense has been revitalized and the Canucks at present rank 4th in goals scored per match. The unique teams are in very good shape with Vancouver position #9 on the penalty get rid of and #eleven on the electricity enjoy. Vancouver could still do some work with their even toughness defense (#eighteen objectives against per sport) but it’s challenging to argue with their output. They’ve been equally as effective at property as on the road–they’ll take a 10-four- away document into tonight’s sport. Commencing goalie Ryan Miller will get the night off tonight with backup Eddie Lack between the pipes.
