Canucks creep closer to the playoff bar by beating two slumping teams in the southwest.
After beating Colorado Avalanche and Arizona Coyotes with Canucks' moms in tow, Vancouver is tied with Minnesota Wild two points behind Nashville Predators and Colorado for a Wild Card playoff spot. The Wild have a game in hand, but the Avs have played two more games than Vancouver. We'll see if the Canucks can keep pace without Alex Edler and Brandon Sutter, or if one of the teams in the vaunted Central Division can put together a win streak, ensuring five teams from the Central Divison make the playoffs.
