When Daniel Sedin scored the game’s first goal, you couldn’t help but hope it would spark the Vancouver Canucks. But this team somehow played much worse after gaining a rare lead, and fell 3-1 to the Washington Capitals.
It’s now the fifth consecutive loss for the Canucks. They have also dropped 13 of their last 15 games. For those of you bad at math, that’s really, really bad.
We knew losing Bo Horvat would be a major blow for the offence. But it doesn’t mean Loui Eriksson should go 17 straight games without scoring a goal.
