Entering the second period with 1:53 minutes worth of power play time, the Canucks sent their first unit of Cootes, Safonov, Novotný, Brooks Rogowski, and Kirill Kudryavtsev out, with the group generating chances but not quite finding the back of the net. Amidst a change in personnel, it was Riley Patterson who set Vancouver’s first goal of the game up, with Alriksson firing the puck home from between the hashmarks.
