VANCOUVER (AP) — Canucks forward J.T. Miller only knew he was on the cusp of his 100th career goal because his parents wouldn’t let him forget.
“They’ve been putting pressure on me for about a week now so I told them to stop texting me,” he said.
Miller had two goals Monday night, including his 100th in the NHL, and Vancouver scored five times in the first period on its way to a 7-2 victory over the Florida Panthers.
Josh Leivo added a goal and an assist for the Canucks. Brandon Sutter, Tim Schaller, Jake Virtanen and Brock Boeser also scored.
