Great time for the wireless to go out here @RogersArena … Jackets on another 5 min major for the second game in a row in a close game around the same point in the third. Game 4-4 after their latest third period meltdown. #CBJ Canucks
#CBJ doing nothing but defending, and now they've taken another penalty. Jenner goes off for slashing at 4:35 of the third.
Jenner now called for slashing, putting #Canucks right back on the PP, trailing only 4-3 after two PPGs to start this period. My goodness. #CBJ
#CBJ take another penalty. Voronkov off at 2:22 after hooking J.T. Miller. Not an ideal way to protect a lead.
#Canucks right back to the PP after #CBJ opts to leave the middle third of their own zone wide open and Voronkov is forced into a tripping minor to compensate.
