The Vancouver Canucks are off to a respectable start to their season, “The Pettersson Elevensson” to begin the year was a dominant start that even had Toronto radio stations talking about the possibility of Elias Pettersson being an early consideration for the Hart Trophy.
Fast forward to the middle of November, and Canucks fans are starting to see the team slow down.
There’s good reason to believe that the recent slump is due to injuries, lack of depth or a slumping power play. For myself I turn to the schedule, the Canucks have not only played the most games so far this season (22) but they have also played the most road games (14).
