Lightning Round: Salary cap could rise more than expected, Canucks make history

The Vancouver Canucks are the first team in NHL history to lose four straight games after holding a multi-goal lead in each game. Up 3-0 on Edmonton, lose 3-5. Up 2-0 on Philadelphia, lose 2-3 (hey, copycats). Up 4-2 on Washington, lose 6-4. Up 2-0 on Columbus, lose 4-3.

All this losing early has put the Canucks in a good position to either pick first and draft hometown boy Connor Bedard, or come back enough to miss the playoffs and get a mediocre pick.
