It's a slower than usual Sunday on the NHL schedule, with just one game on the docket. But, there are implications from the outcome of the clash between the Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Canucks (3:30 p.m. ET, TNT).
For the Canucks, it's an opportunity to make up ground in the Western Conference and Presidents' Trophy races. Vancouver was a little wobbly in February (going 5-6-2), recovered for most of March with a 7-3-1 record, but their most recent two games account for two of those losses.
Sitting atop the Pacific Division by a four-point margin, the Canucks are currently five points behind the Dallas Stars for the West's No.
