“I usually have goals and I want to be up there with the best defencemen, but with how last year went (minus-24), I was motivated and focused on trying to have a good overall game,” Hughes told Postmedia last month. He had also been on pace to eclipse Doug Lidster’s elusive excellence of 63 points (12-51) in the 1986-87 season that set the performance bar for blueliners. Richardson found a way to give the Canucks the lead after Horvat’s effort. “Not ideal timing when you’re fighting for your lives, but we’ve got to suck it up and find a way.” Getting over the virus in January took longer than expected and just three points in eight games after a U.S. quarantine weighed on Horvat. Getting over vomiting last week was no picnic. He then denied Chandler Stephenson on a 5-on-3 advantage. The four unanswered goals helped overcome Eichel’s early marker. He sped past Jack Eichel behind the Golden Knights net and worked his way into position to redirect an Oliver Ekman-Larsson pass from the point. Normally, Jaroslav Halak would get the start in the second half of back-to-backs. Missing key players also helped the Canucks get back to basics and play more simple and direct. We started on time and when they play 60 minutes, it’s a tough team to beat because we’re usually pretty good when we play with the lead. Article content

The Vancouver Canucks performance almost certainly came too late to really help their playoff hopes but it dealt the Vegas Golden Knights a startling blow ...

I know there's not a lot of games left, but we have to do it for the remaining 11 here.” I thought it was one of our better team games in a while. “I thought it was his best game of the year.

But the difference-maker, besides goalie Thatcher Demko, was forward Elias Pettersson, who played right wing on a line with J.T. Miller and Tanner Pearson and scored two goals and two assists and seemed to drive play whenever he was on the ice. And I think playing on the right side. “I thought was his best game,” Myers said.
