On a night both San Jose and Anaheim both won, the Canucks could ill afford to drop a point to a the worst defensive team in the league, a team playing their third string goalie. Now, the Canucks are three points behind the surging Ducks for third in the Pacific, and Anaheim has two games in hand. Short of a significant winning streak, it's going to be very difficult for the Canucks to keep pace.
Those who are hoping #Canucks will miss playoffs can stop hoping now. Sharks & Ducks have flown by aren't slowing down.
