J.T. Miller and Jake Virtanen scored the Canucks’ lone goals, and Jacob Markstrom got the start en route to the team’s first regulation loss since Oct. 19. Here are my three main takeaways from a game that left little for Canucks fans to remember.
1. The slow starts continue
For the 11th time in 16 games this season, the Canucks gave up the opening goal just six minutes and 41 seconds into the game. Alex DeBrincat finally put one past Markstrom on Chicago’s eighth shot of the game, as opposed to the Canucks’ three.
