With Henrik Sedin back in Vancouver for treatment, and Chris Tanev out day to day, tonight's game against the Los Angeles Kings would prove to be a stiff test for the Canucks' kids. The Vancouver Canucks showed some spirit, even outhitting the Kings 28-25 on the night. But with LA setting up for another Stanley Cup run, and the Canucks in the early stages of a rebuild, the game was a bit of a mismatch. Though it was not as much a mismatch as it might have been.
