Canucks beat the Leafs in Vancouver for the sixth straight time: Game Highlights

It was a disappointing end to the western portion of the road trip. What was once a good game turned into a Canucks blow out in the third period. Another unexpected loss to a lesser team. Below are the highlights from the game.

Luke Schenn set the tone with a pair of hits in the game’s first shift. Then Tyler Myers one-upped him by absolutely leveling John Tavares. Jake McCabe did his best to stand up for the captain by dropping the gloves…

William Nylander nearly put the Leafs up one with a shorthanded breakaway midway through the first but Thatcher Demko shut the door…

Late in the period Auston Matthews took a Noah Juulsen slap shot off the inside of the leg. He was down for a while and had to be helped off the ice. Don’t worry though, he came back in the second period…

Partway through the second the Canucks came down on a 2-on-0 and Matt Murray made one of the best saves you’ll ever see and kept the game scoreless…

Andrei Kuzmenko finally got the first goal of the game with a powerplay marker late in the second. He deflected the Quinn Hughes point shot to put the Canucks up 1-0. Fifth straight game the Leafs have allowed the first goal..

Early in the third the Leafs tied it up with a powerplay goal of their own. Nylander threaded the pass through the legs of Juulsen and Tavares put it home. 1-1…

Special teams continued to be the story of the night when the Canucks went up 2-1. This time is was shorthanded. JT Miller found Elias Pettersson on the 2-on-1 and Petey slid it five-hole to take the lead…

The Canucks double dipped on the PK. Pettersson sprung Miller on the breakaway for their second shorty in 44 seconds. 3-1 Canucks…

It was all Vancouver in the third period. Brock Boeser set up Nils Aman for a backdoor tap in. First even strength goal of the game. 4-1 Canucks final…
