In a surprise twist, the Canucks are pretty good with Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson on the ice and not so good when they're on the bench.

Patrick Johnston: The Canucks' two-way game has a long way to go. They can score, but they need to learn to defend a whole lot better.

In the Pacific division, only Anaheim (+11) and Vegas (+2) have positive goal differentials. As a division they are -34.
Compare that to the Metropolitan division who are a combined +43.

Here's why Hronek didn't play in OT.
