A regulation loss would have the Canucks matching their fewest points in 15 games into a season (11) since 1997-98 (8 pts: 3-10-2), which it did.

Detroit defeated the Canucks 3-1, to lose 5 of 6 games on their road trip (1-5-0); leaving Vancouver with only 1 win in their last 11 games (1-9-1).

Canucks had their lone goal from Daniel Sedin (5), assists going to Henrik Sedin (4) and Troy Stecher (2).

Vancouver is now 1-6-1 on the road.

Canucks starting goalie Ryan Miller, stopped 24 of 27 shots in the game, his 7th straight loss this season.

Miller, after tonight, is 1-7-0 with a 2.79 GAA and a .907 save percentage.
