Drew a Penalty Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (7) Vancouver Canucks vs. (10) Minnesota Wild REGULAR SEASON RECORDS: Canucks: 36-27-6, 78 points (.565) Wild: 35-27-7, 77 points (.558) HEAD-TO-HEAD: Minnesota 2-1-0 Jan. 12: Canucks 4, Wild 1, at MIN Feb. 6: Wild 4, Canucks 2, at MIN Feb. 19: Wild 4, Canucks 3 (SO), at VAN [table=width: 650, align: center] [tr] [td]WHAT'S CHANGED:[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Canucks: Goalie Jacob Markstrom is expected to be back, and forwards Micheal Ferland and Josh Leivo could be healthy. Markstrom (23-16-4, 2.75 goals-against average, .918 save percentage) was out with a knee injury when the season was paused. Ferland, who has not played for Vancouver since Dec. 10 because of recurring concussion symptoms, is symptom-free and close to being ready to play, according to TSN. Leivo was recovering after fracturing his kneecap Dec. 19 against the Golden Knights. The injury was expected to keep him out 2-3 months, but general manager Jim Benning was less optimistic April 29 when discussing his possible return this season.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Wild: Defenseman Carson Soucy is the only player who was injured, and he is expected to return. He missed the last nine games before the pause with an upper-body injury.[/td] [/tr] [/table] [table=width: 650, align: center] [tr] [td]ANALYSIS:[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]"Markstrom's return is the biggest advantage for the Canucks. He's in the final season of a three-year contract and can become an unrestricted free agent. A strong showing in this series could help him in contract negotiations. The Wild were coming together before the season was paused, going 12-5-1 in their last 18 games. Will Minnesota forward Kevin Fiala, who scored 26 points (14 goals, 12 assists) in those 18 games, be able to pick up where he left off?"[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td] https://www.nhl.com/news/return-to-play-western-conference/c-317030326[/td] [/tr] [/table] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Not watched a lot Canucks because of the time-zone, but watched most of the playoff games so far and Quinn Hughes is amazing. Fox is awesome, but Hughes is just something special. Just tied the game 3-3 with a beautiful snipe on the PP.

Karan Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Oh man tough loss for Minnesota. Was rooting for them and Mats. Always hate it when the other team comes out and wins seconds into OT. Know that pain :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
