Game Highlights


The Canucks showed resilience throughout, managing to net one during a power play out of their five opportunities, showcasing their determination under pressure. Their effort was evident as they tallied up 29 shots on goal and secured six assists across all goals scored. However, their power play conversion rate could not tip the scales in their favor this time around.


On defense, Vancouver was aggressive with 30 hits but struggled in faceoff circles, winning only 43 percent of them. This aspect proved crucial as it allowed Dallas more control over the puck and subsequently, the game's tempo.

Noteworthy performances from Vancouver included contributions from several players who made significant impacts despite the outcome. Carson Soucy and Jake DeBrusk each found the back of net once, demonstrating precision when it mattered most. Filip Hronek and Quinn Hughes were instrumental on offense as well, each registering an assist and playing vital roles in keeping plays alive.


Looking Ahead


The Canucks will look to rebound from this setback when they host the Detroit Red Wings at Rogers Arena on February 2nd at 8:00 PM EDT. Fans can catch all action live on ESPN+ for internet users or FDSDET for television viewers.
