CANUCKS WIN STREAK COMES TO AN END!!!

VANCOUVER – December 31st,2021

The Vancouver Canucks lost in the shootout last night to the LA Kings after coming back from a 1 – nothing deficit late in the 3rd period to grab a point from the game. The captain Bo Horvat scored the tying goal 12:06 into the 3rd period after the Canucks gave up the first goal in the 2nd period of the game. This is the first loss under new head coach Bruce Boudreau. The Canucks haven’t lost in regulation yet under Boudreau, they’re now 7-0-1.

This was the second game of back to backs and the effort the team put forth tells the story for itself. The Canucks only managed 18 shots on goal while the kings had 35. The Canucks also scored their lone goal in the game on the powerplay. The Penalty kill went perfect however, that’s because they only took one penalty.

The next game for the Canucks is in Seattle against the Seattle Kraken on Hockey night in Canada on Saturday. This is a must win game for the Canucks as another loss would put them in a deeper hole then the loss to the LA Kings did already. A win would keep them in the playoff conversation and hopefully contention.
