CANUCKS NEWS: Heading into last night’s game against Minnesota, you couldn’t be blamed for thinking it was going to be a long night. The Canucks were coming off one of their worst performances of the season in a 5-0 loss to Pittsburgh, while the Wild rolled in, winners of 5 straight. Someone forgot to tell the Canucks that this was a game they probably should have lost.
From Elias Pettersson playing what was probably his best game of his 7 in the NHL to date, to the inspired performance of Markus Granlund, and Jacob Markstrom with a huge bounce back game, this was one of those games that gives you hope.
