The Vancouver Canucks probably aren’t going to lose any games on purpose. But as injuries chip away at their roster, they may end up tanking all the same.

Vancouver had plenty of injury trouble last season, with key players like Brandon Sutter, Alexander Edler and Dan Hamhuis missing significant time.
This season, it has been more of the same.
