There had been plenty of positives for the Vancouver Canucks in the opening four games of this young National Hockey League season.
Their power play was not one of them.
The Canucks raced to a 3-0-1 record without much help from their sputtering power play. Friday night, it caught up to them.
Vancouver fell behind early and desperately needed a kickstart from its power play. Instead, there was only more frustration as the Canucks opened a five-game homestand at Rogers Arena with a 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The Canucks scored two late goals to make the game close.
