The Vancouver Canucks have no hope of making the playoffs. That\u0027s how bad they\u0027ve been this season.
Since Rick Tocchet took over as Canucks head coach on Jan. 22, no Canucks has been on ice for more offensive scoring chances than J.T. Miller.The Canucks are averaging 35.2 scoring chances per 60 minutes of five-on-five ice time.Article content
Miller is not a great defender, but when he’s creating as much offence as he has been, it more than balances out.If this current surge for Miller sustains itself through the rest of the season, it won’t be a surprise.Last year, for instance, he scored 55 points in the final 37 games of the season.Article content
Elias Pettersson of the Vancouver Canucks skates during the first period in their game against the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena on Nov. 26, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.In similar terms, Elias Pettersson has been on a tear since Tocchet took over, with 21 points in 12 games.Pettersson is scoring 1.34 points per game this season, putting him on pace to score well over 100 points this season.
Quinn Hughes #43 of the Vancouver Canucks skates with the puck during the second period against the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Oct. 15, 2021 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.In a similar vein, Quinn Hughes is on pace to shatter his team record for points in a season by a defenceman. Hughes set the record last year, posting 68 points in 76 games.
It’s likely the Canucks won’t score quite as much at five-on-five for the rest of the year, but perhaps Hughes will get the power play rolling again and get more points there.Article contentSince Tocchet took over, the Canucks’ power play is scoring on 20.5 per cent of its opportunities.
