Vancouver Canucks fans are shaking their heads after a rough 4-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks at Rogers Arena. The Canucks struck first at 115 in the opening period with Tom Willender's third goal of the season, assisted by Elias Pettersson and Jake. But things unraveled fast as Macklin Celebrini tied it just 36 seconds later, followed by goals from Adam Gaudette and Tyler Toffoli, putting San Jose up 3-1 by 5.55. The collapse highlighted ongoing defensive woes that head coach Adam Foote called out just a week ago. Vancouver got hemmed in their own zone for much of the third period, struggling to even get a shot on net early on.
San Jose added power play tallies from Will Smith and John Klingberg to build a lead, though Philip Harnick pulled one back on the power play at 9-15.
What were the key moments in the Canucks vs. Sharks game?
Tom Willander didn't hold back postgame, saying the team played poorly in every detail with nothing to like. He noted that unlike recent bad losses, there was no decent play anywhere tonight.
The effort just wasn't there, especially after surrendering three goals in five minutes. All eyes were on Evander Kane amid swirling trade rumors with 17 scouts in the press box, including from the Anaheim Ducks and Toronto Maple Leafs. Kane dropped the gloves with Timothy Liljegren and picked up a roughing penalty, hitting 60 penalty minutes for the season, a Canucks first. Meanwhile, hometown star Macklin Celebrini torched his team with four points, his third multi-point game against Vancouver this year. The Canucks' penalty kill has now allowed two power play goals in three of their last four games, a real concern. Their power play snapped a five-game drought, but wasted a two-minute, five-on-three chance.
Up next, they host the Ducks on Thursday at 7 p.m. Pacific time after a wild 5-4 win last time. This episode is supported by our sponsor. When you need a moment, just listen with Soli Pillow.
