Ready for another late night?
The Canes build a 3 goal lead in the first period on Tuesday, frittered it away before winning 6-3. Aho had 2 goals, Nino, Dzingel, Martinook and Hamilton had the others. The PP was on fire, scoring 3 times in 5 chances against one of the best PKs in the league. The PP is 5 for 7 in the last 2 games and is 6th at 23.7 The PK came within a few seconds of pitching a shutout, limiting the top PP team in the league to 1 for 5. The Canes are tied for 2nd at 85.3%. Everyone practiced yesterday, so there shouldn’t be any lineup changes.
Vancouver sits 5th in the Pacific with 34 points in 31 games. They’re 5-5 in their last 10 and lost their last time out, 4-1 to Toronto on Tuesday. Elias Peterson and JT Miller are both averaging at least a point per game, Miller has 13 goals, Peterson has 12 along with 21 assists. Brock Boesser isn’t far behind, with 11 goals and 28 points. Rookie Dman Quinn Hughes has 22 assists and 24 points with 15 points coming on the PP. We probably won’t see old friend Micheal Ferland tonight. He left the game on Tuesday with an upper body injury after playing only 4 minutes. He’s only played 14 games and missed all of November. Jacob Markstrom has played 19 games in goal and has decent numbers, 2.72/.912. Thatcher Demko backs him up and is at 3.00/.906. The Canucks and Canes are tied for 8th at 3.26 goals per game. They’re 17th in goals against at 3.03. It’s another game against a top PP unit, the Canucks are 3rd at 26.7%. Their PK is 14th at 81.7%.
