Dec 6, 2016

Vancouver (11-13-2=24 pts) played the first game of a 5 game road trip tonight at Prudential Center against Eastern conference rivals, New Jersey Devils (12-7-6=30 pts).

Vancouver went for their 4th road win of the season, while the Devils were trying to remain without a regulation loss at home this season.

Could both teams do both? Was not to be, as the Devils defeat the Canucks 3-2.

A scary moment in game with Canucks defenseman Philip Larsen who was hit hard by Devils Taylor Hall, behind the Canucks net, and slumped down onto the ice from the unseen Hall.

Canucks had goals from the Sedin brothers; Daniel on the power play to even the game at 1-1 in the second period; Henrik, in the third period, to bring Vancouver within a goal of New Jersey at 3-2.

Daniel Sedin finished the game with two points, as he assisted on Henrik’s goal; Troy Stecher, Luca Sbisa and Brandon Sutter also picked up assists.

Canucks starting goalie, Jacob Markstrom, stopped 19 of 22 shots.

Canucks, continues to be in 6th place in the Pacific division; 4 points in front of Arizona, and 5 points behind 3rd place Anaheim.

Game Summary

In the first, Taylor Hall (7) would get the scoring going, off the post on Jacob Markstrom, to give the Devils a 1-0 lead, at 3:42, assisted by Kyle Quincey (6) and Pa Parenteau (4).

The Canucks would receive a two-man advantage for two minutes before the end of the period for a bench penalty to the Devils and instigator penalty John Moore of New Jersey for fighting, a reaction to Travis Zajac been hit by Michael Chaput. There was no penalty called on the hit by Chaput.

In the second, the Canucks on the power play, would get the equalizer, Daniel Sedin, his 8th goal of the season, assisted by Brandon Sutter (8) and Troy Stecher (5) at 1:10, to make it a 1-1 game.

Philip Larsen, received a blindsided hit from Taylor Hall behind the Canucks net, and was out, stopped dead in his tracks. Larsen had no idea at all, that Hall had him lined up for the hit.
