The Vancouver Canucks met the Calgary Flames on Thursday night for a game that didn’t have much at stake. Both teams have been eliminated from the playoff chase and the only things left to play for are pride and lottery positioning.
A couple of late goals allowed the Flames to escape with a 4-1 victory. With another loss the Canucks sink closer to the bottom of the standings and a potential chance at the top overall selection. Maybe Luke Hughes is a possibility after all.

The Sea of Granlunds had another forgettable game with few reasons for joy.
