    Canucks, Knights put hot streaks on line in Vancouver

    The red-hot Vegas Golden Knights take their show on the road for a three-game Canadian road trip that begins on Tuesday night with a visit to Vancouver to take on the surging Canucks. The Golden Knights (43-21-6, 92 points) are battling for first place in the Western Conference, and they currently sit two points above second-place Los Angeles and three above Dallas. The Canucks (31-33-5, 67 points) host the Knights after winning back-to-back games of a California road swing and have now won seven of their last eight. In the Golden Knights' most recent game, leading scorer Jack Eichel delivered a hat trick as Vegas rolled over the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-2 on Sunday.

    Canucks' Quinn Hughes is doing things that few defencemen have done before

    Roman Josi. That's it. That's the entire list of National Hockey League defencemen since the start of the millennium to record 70 assists in a single season. The Nashville Predators captain did it last year as part of his incredible 23-goal, 96 point campaign. So just once in the past 23 seasons has an NHL defenceman cracked the 70-assist mark. And to provide a little further context to just how rare a 70-apple season is for a blueliner, prior to Josi you have to go back to Brian Leetch in 1995-96 to find the next guy that accomplished the feat — and Leetch finished with 70 on the nose and he did it with a helper in game 82 that season and finished with a flurry picking up five assists in his

    Are the Canucks learning how to win low-scoring games?

    If the Vancouver Canucks are going to be contenders in the next two years (as per Jim Rutherford's timeline), they'll need more weekends like this past one. Low-scoring victories where the goaltending is great (as it was against the Los Angeles Kings), the defence robust (as it was against the Anaheim Ducks), and the stars carrying the offensive workload to push the team across the line. Wins over teams you absolutely should beat even as the second-end of a back-to-back, and road wins over teams atop the division/conference — and had the Kings won Saturday, they would've ended the night as the top team in the Western Conference. The Canucks are starting to insulate their goaltending more with better play in front, and they have the type of high-end skill and skating — hello Quinn Hughes — to pick up their fair share of overtime and shootout points.
