Vancouver Canucks
After back to back games where they forced overtime late, the Canucks tank got back on track on the weekend with a 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. Unfortunately for the Canucks, the loss came with the embarrassment of conceding an empty net goal to Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark but ultimately will help the team in their mission to increase their draft lottery odds.
The Bruins bullied the Canucks in the first period, outshooting the hosts 20-7 and building a 2-0 lead they were able to protect the rest of the way. Expect head coach Rick Tocchet to attempt to get his players going early in Dallas to avoid a similarly poor start against the Stars.
Arturs Silovs made 32 saves in the loss and could be in net once again for the Canucks as the up and coming netminder is getting plenty of opportunity of late. Thatcher Demko remains out with an injury as the Canucks await the return of their starting netminder, whose injury plagued season is a big reason for the team sitting near the bottom of the standings.
Dallas Stars
After roaring to a sizable lead in the Central Division, Stars head coach Peter DeBoer is watching his team’s lead slowly dwindle. After dropping five straight games recently, the Stars lead is down to just two points as the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche are quickly gaining ground.
DeBoer will hope his team’s wild win over the Vegas Golden Knights on the weekend can serve as the catalyst to get back to winning ways. The Stars dug deep against the best team in the Western Conference, tying the game up with less than :40 left before winning in the shootout. In a matchup that could be a Western Conference Finals preview, it was a major win for a Stars team searching for some momentum at the moment.
Roope Hintz scored the game-tying goal for the Stars, continuing a highly pr oductive season for the forward. Hintz has 23 goals this season, pairing with Jason Robertson as the drivers of the Stars’ offensive production. Playing a Canucks team that can’t keep the puck out of their net, expect Hintz and Robertson’s names to show up in the scoring summary on Monday night.
