With 34 games in the books this season, the Canucks have finally managed to cross the .500 threshold after getting at least a point in each of their last 2 games.
In a tight affair with the Los Angeles Kings on December 30, the Canucks managed to fight back and tie the game late, rewarding a solid performance by Jaroslav Halak. This goal, a powerplay marker by Bo Horvat, allowed the Canucks to secure one point before they fell short in the shootout.
While this loss did put an end to the Canucks’ impressive 7-game winning streak under Bruce Boudreau, the late-game push to force extra time did extend the team’s point streak to 8 games.
