The Vancouver Canucks defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight in a dominant victory!

The first period started out with some back and forth action and a huge fight between new Maple Leafs signee Jake McCabe and Tyler Myers. Both men hit the ice after dropping the gloves but Myers definitely got the better of the exchange! The rest of the period saw little to no action besides a breakaway shot for the Maple Leafs that was stopped by Thatcher Demko!

Both goalies were on fire to start the second period saving every goal that came their way. Quinn Hughes and Andrey Kuzmenko broke the scoring drought though with a beautifully timed slap shot and tip in to give the Canucks the Lead heading into the third period.

The third period is where most of the action in this game happened. Maple Leafs captain John Tavares scored early to tie the game but the Canucks fired back with two goals as Elias Pettersson and J.T Miller both scored short handed! Nils Åman was able to score one more for the Canucks before the end of the game to secure the victory.

Final score 4-1 for the Vancouver Canucks.

For a team that’s supposed to be tanking right now this sure is confusing to see as a Canucks fan. However, it’s nice to see the team gain some momentum and confidence for the first time in a long time!

The Canucks return against the Predators Monday night at home!
