HSH’s Canucks Scouting Report (Pro-Con-Clusion #11): Hughes impresses as Boeser continues to struggle

22 games into a season that included playoff aspirations make it hard to digest the Vancouver Canucks’ performance so far.

With a record of 6-14-2, the Canucks currently only have 14 points in the year which puts them at 28th in the league’s standings.

On Friday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, it is fair to say that the Canucks controlled the play throughout most of the game. However, despite the fact the Canucks outshot the Blue Jackets 41 to 20, they just couldn’t find any threatening lanes or penetrate the slot for high-octane scoring chances. As a result, the Canucks lost the game 4-2 to a young and surprisingly upstart Columbus team.
