After a strong finish to their homestand, the Vancouver Canucks kicked off their first of four games on the road with a visit to the nation’s capital to take on the Ottawa Senators. The Canucks needed overtime to secure the win in this one. Once again, Thatcher Demko was there to lead his team to…
After a humiliating loss on Wednesday night, the Vancouver Canucks hosted a tired Edmonton Oilers team who played in Edmonton the previous night.
