It won’t be easy, but the Vancouver Canucks really could use a win against the Pittsburgh Penguins — who have won the last four meetings and eight of the last 10 overall.
The Canucks have lost their only two games this week — against the Dallas Stars on Monday and to the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday. But they’ll have it in tough against a defending Penguins team that’s (again), among the most dominant in the NHL thus far.
Four different Pens have reached double digit points thus far, and Matt Murray is among the elite goalies with an 8-2-1 record.
