Out of six games in nine days, the Vancouver Canucks lost just one in regulation. It was the second of back-to-back road games in California, losing to the Anaheim Ducks after a shootout loss in Los Angeles the night before. That’s totally fine.
Yet, the Canucks need to make sure they don’t fall into a hole. After last the season, the Canucks know the fast lane from first to last in the Pacific Division all too well. A loss against one of the weaker Canadian teams, the Ottawa Senators, could push Vancouver right back down.
Can they fight back?
