The Vancouver Canucks are off to an impressive 9-4-3 start on the young 2019-20 season, and they already look like a team that’s capable of capturing the Pacific Division.
Vancouver (16 games played ) is only a point behind the top-seeded Edmonton Oilers and the second-seeded Calgary Flames, who’ve played 17 and 19 games, respectively. With games in hand, the Canucks could very well move into first place in short time.
And while the Canucks continue to surge to the towards the top, their three long-time California bullies are beginning to slip. The Los Angeles Kings (5-10-1) are the worst team in the Western Conference, and the 6-10-1 San Jose Sharks aren’t faring much better.
