The last push to the playoffs begins against the hot Canucks.
Everyone was at practice yesterday, Svech was still in a yellow sweater and is almost definitely out. Kochetkov came back with a missing tooth and a sunburn. Jarvis should have sweated out all the beer he drank in Mexico…at least it wasn’t water, or he’d have other issues.
The Canucks are also coming off their bye, they last played on January 27, a shootout win over the Jackets. They’re the hottest team in the league not named Edmonton, on a 11 game point streak. Their last regulation loss was more than a month ago, January 4 at the Blues. They’re tied with the Bruins atop the league with 71 points in 49 games. The NHL leader board is littered with Canucks. JT Miller, Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes are all in the top 10 in the league in points. Brock Boeser and Pettersson are in the top 10 in goals. Thatcher Demko is in the top 10 in goals against and Save %. And they added Elias Lindholm before the All-Star game. They lead the league in goals per game and are 2nd in goals against. They’re 8th on the PP and 15th on the PK.
