Here we are with 50 games in the books for the 2021-22 NHL season and the Canucks sit at 52 points.
While factoring in games-in-hand and points percentage dampens the mood, the Canucks do find themselves only 3 points out of the last Wild Card spot in the West.
In their last 2 contests, the Canucks were able to skin out a couple of close wins despite being outworked for the majority of both games.
On Saturday against Toronto, the Canucks were able to ride off a franchise-record tying 51-save performance from Thatcher Demko to secure a 3-2 win over the Leafs.
