The Canucks\u0027 lingering playoff dream was crippled further, but coming back from a two\u002Dgoal deficit in the third period showed some backbone
Optimism has never been lacking from the Vancouver Canucks coach, who was counting on his club to make three meetings with the Vegas Golden Knights in a span of nine days meaningful.
“I don’t know why we don’t start on time,” he started. “I think teams know this and come out flying and we should know to play hard in the first period. When we’re in the lead or tied, we usually win the game. And in overtime, we talk all the time about staying on the right side of the puck. There was no reason for 53 to go on that side of the puck — we didn’t have control of it — and even Petey could have checked from the other way.
After all, Jack Eichel won an offensive-zone draw and Alex Pietrangelo moved in from the point to go high stick side on Thatcher Demko. Jonathan Marchessault then followed from the slot with a ripper. Horvat then clicked for an unassisted power-play goal to make it 2-2 on a weird sequence. He lost the offensive-zone draw, but the puck hit the stick blade of Alex Martinez and trickled past Lehner.Article content
