Game clarity
The first period started slowly for both teams, but it ended up being a Fest Fest towards the end of it.

After that, the Canucks got a shocker with hughes leaving the ice with an apparent shoulder injury, only to return a few shifts later. Lankinen had a solid time in the demo, stopping 13 shots, including a nice pad thanks to Marc Scheifele. Helebuyck was also strong, making 10 saves as the Canucks outshot the Canucks 13-10.
