The Vancouver Canucks have officially defeated all 30 other NHL franchises.
That’s right, Wednesday evening marked the first time where the Canucks defeated the Vegas Golden Knights. They were swept in the four-game season series a year ago, but Bo Horvat and co. finally got the monkey off their backs.
This was despite being without Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson, their top two forwards. Top blueliners Alexander Edler and Chris Tanev left the game due to injuries. As did forward Sven Baertschi.
But Horvat and Jacob Markstrom pieced together gutsy performances and led Vancouver to its sixth win of the season.
