One thing to watch in today’s game will be how Vancouver’s special teams perform. On Thursday, the Canucks put up their worst penalty killing effort of the season, allowing three power-play goals against — two of which came during the first period. Their penalty-killing rate is now down to 57.9%, which currently ranks as the lowest in the league. Their power play hasn’t done them many favours either, as they’re currently operating at 17.6% while also having surrendered three shorthanded goals.
