There was one number that defined Tuesday night's loss for the Vancouver Canucks: 18. The Canucks managed just 18 shots on goal in Game 2 against the Nashville Predators: four in the first period, eight in the second period, and six in the third period. In the first period, the Canucks seemed reluctant to shoot.
After backstopping the Canucks to a huge 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers with 32 saves, the Sportsnet cameras caught injured goaltender Thatcher Demko embracing DeSmith as he walked back into the Canucks dressing room. There is always speculation about whether there is healthy competition between goaltenders on a team.
Jonathan Marchessault had a goal and two assists and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-3 on Tuesday night. The victory inched Vegas (92 points) closer to second-place Edmonton (95) in the Pacific Division. The Canucks sit atop the division. Anthony Mantha, Jack Eichel, Noah Hanifin, William Karlsson and Brett Howden also scored for Vegas, while Logan Thompson stopped 27 shots to win his sixth straight start in his 99th career game.
