For the first time in years, the defensive core stayed healthy. The Canucks did not need the have Utica Comets on speed dial.

A lot of things went right for the Vancouver Canucks in the 2019-2020 season. The defence was relatively healthy, Alex Edler reached milestones, and Quinn Hughes stole the show.
