The matchup is somewhat intriguing: The Kings have lost three straight and will be ornery. The Canucks have lost structure. Find out more.
As Quinn Hughes so aptly asserted: “It’s been a very long year.”The Canucks open a season-ending three-road trip Monday in Los Angeles against the playoff-bound Kings. If they needed a reminder on how teams advancing to the second season properly prepare for the slog, they got it April 2 on home ice.
The reality of school being in late-season season that night — the Kings snapped a 1-1 draw by needing just 11 seconds to score on the power play, while the Canucks went 0-for-4 — was summed up by J.T. Miller. Which makes Monday’s matchup somewhat intriguing. The Kings have lost three straight and will be ornery. The Canucks have lost structure.
The slick Swedish centre takes as much pride in being tied with Miller for most short-handed goals in the NHL , as he does for leading his club in blocked shots by forwards and being second in take-aways .
