The Canucks play their 2018-19 season finale this afternoon in St. Louis, with a rookie goalie looking to inflict double damage on the visitors.
1 p.m., Enterprise Center, TV: Sportsnet Pacific; Radio: Sportsnet 650 AMFor the longest time this NHL season, Pettersson was the runaway leader for the Calder Memorial Trophy. And then the Blues, desperate to save their season, called up Binnington. The rookie goaltender has been a revelation for the Blues, fixing a huge hole in their depth chart and driving his team to the playoffs. Some pundits suggest he did enough to beat the Canuck for top rookie honours.
Vancouver struggled with injuries on defence, but the team was scoring three goals per game at the midway point before the collapse. It’s difficult to win in the NHL when you score only two goals a game.It’s crazy to contemplate, but a win by the Blues would give them a shot at finishing first in their division, ahead of supposed powerhouses Nashville and Winnipeg. On Jan. 3, the Blues were dead last. If the amazing Blues win today — and the Jets and Predators lose — they’ll finish first.
Look up “abhors losing” in the dictionary, and Stecher’s face will be there. With just this one game left to play before golf season, one imagines the young Canuck will be extra fired up looking to make amends.Tanner Pearson — Bo Horvat — Loui ErikssonDefence pairingsGoalies: Jacob Markstrom, Thatcher DemkoJaden Schwartz — Oskar Sundqvist — David PerronDefence pairingsGoalies: Jordan Binnington, Jake AllenSPECIAL TEAMSPOWER PLAYpjohnston@postmedia.
