It’s crazy. The Vancouver Canucks had the 11th ranked offence in the NHL not too long ago, yet it feels like a distant memory. Their 130 goals for ranks 16th in the league and their scoring touch has dried up for the last couple of weeks.
Elias Pettersson has only been out of action for one week, so it’s not just due to the Canucks missing one of the best offensive threats (although it certainly doesn’t help). They have been shut out in four of their last eight. It’s sad since January was supposed to have their light schedule going into the All Star break.
