Dakota Joshua scored two goals to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks.
The Vancouver Canucks may have beaten the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 on Sunday afternoon but they were not thrilled with how they performed.It wasn’t like the Canucks were horrible. They controlled puck possession against the Ducks and limited them to just 22 shots on goal, doing enough to get the win. At the same time, they were sloppy offensively, got into some scrambles defensively, and came far too close to letting a lesser opponent steal the game away.
“It means something,” said Miller about clinching. “It’s part of the goal, but we’re not there yet. Our day-to-day mindset this entire year has been great, that certainly doesn’t change now…We need to focus on the next game more importantly right now and not look ahead. Perhaps the Canucks didn’t take their opponent seriously enough. The Ducks came into Sunday in 30th place in the NHL after losing 11 of their last 12 games.
“He's obviously made a big impact in the games,” said Miller. “We definitely missed him. He kind of does a little bit of everything for us. He's an easy guy to play with, it was fun playing with him today.” Beyond the goals, Joshua also led all Canucks forwards in ice time on the penalty kill, playing just shy of four minutes.
