With their win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night and the conclusion of their regular season tonight, the Vancouver Canucks have finished the 2021 season with 50 points, jumping over the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings for 24th in the overall league standings. The Kings and Sharks, who both finished with 49 points) will finish in 25th and 26th, respectively.
Despite finishing in 29th in last year’s unexpectedly shortened season, the Sharks missed out on their third-overall draft selection, as that pick had been sent to the Ottawa Senators in 2018.
