The Canucks are in Arizona Thursday night for the second game in two nights against an opponent that’s chasing a playoff berth.
6 p.m., Gila River Arena, TV: Sportsnet Pacific; Radio: Sportsnet 650 AMIt’s always a challenge to play two nights in a row, especially when there’s a flight in between games. The Canucks will do just that after playing Wednesday night in Denver. Tonight’s game is massive for the playoff-chasing Vancouver visitors.Will the Canucks get their best defenceman back tonight in the desert? Coach Travis Green acknowledged Wednesday morning that Alex Edler was “close” to a return.
As per the norm, where the rookie goes, so do the Canucks.Rinse, repeat on this point. The power play hasn’t been very good in 2019. If you’re looking for a reason why the Canucks have been slipping in the playoff turtle derby, sure, you can point to the crucial injuries on the blue-line, but the lack of goals from the power play, given the tight games they’ve been playing, is another big one. If Edler is back, the power play will rejoice.
