The Canucks have now missed the playoffs for three straight years, and for seven of the last eight NHL seasons. “That’s a hell of an accomplishment for our group,” he said. “I thought tonight was a tough night for us to play, a lot of heavy games on this trip and to play back-to-back, short turnaround, complete team win tonight.”
Viktor Arvidsson fired a shot off the post and the rebound fell into traffic in front of the Vancouver net, where Iafallo muscled it in to give the visitors the advantage.Once the Kings went ahead on the scoreboard, the Canucks didn’t compete that hard, said Vancouver centre J.T. Miller. The Canucks pulled Demko with 2:31 left on the game clock in favour of an extra attacker, but couldn’t claw their way back into the game.
