Teams want their extra d-man…
THE SKINNY For a game that started out with literally nothing to talk about it ended with a bang! Tonight, the Canucks were tested yet again and they answered the call. Despite the Penguins being without a handful of their top players, they haven’t been pushovers. Vancouver knew they’d have to bring their A-game against…
