In a tightly-contested game, the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 at PNC Arena. J.T. Miller scored the winning goal 4 minutes into the third period after a puck took a strange bounce off the glass. The Hurricanes, known for their strong defense, limited the Canucks to only 3 shots in the third period. The game saw the Canes pushing hard in the final minutes, but they couldn't find the equalizer. The victory marked the Canucks' 34th win in 50 games, with Elias Lindholm making an impact in his Nux debut.
#Canucks win for the 34th time in 50 games edging Carolina 3-2 to start out of the All Star break on a winning note. Elias Lindholm leaves his mark in his Nux debut. @RinkWideVAN breaks it all down https://t.co/LBtCdXUBXn
The final horn sounds at PNC Arena and the #Canes suffer a 3-2 loss to the Canucks. A tightly-contested game throughout, that looked like two teams that don't give up a whole lot.

Canes have been pushing hard the last 5 or so minutes. Have flipped the ice in front of the Vancouver net. Won't matter if they can't get a goal. Wouldn't be stunned to see an early pulling of the Koochie. 3:08 left here
the Hurricanes held Arizona without a 3rd period shot in their last game before break. Have held #Canucks to 3 shots in third so far tonight. Canes doing Canes things
Miller the opportunistic on tag-up play that puts Canes goalie on his heels. He gets into position to pounce on bouncing puck at top of crease to provide 3-2 lead. #Canucks
J.T. Miller puts the Canucks back in front 4:00 into the third. Kochetkov had come out of his net to stop a puck behind him, and it took a weird hop off the glass. It jumps in front and now the visitors lead 3-2.
