two weeks ago, #Canucks clearly hit a wall. But with rest and practice time, they’re 5-1-1 in last seven and seemingly back on track (awaiting an update on Demko, of course) https://t.co/GySZ4OcuYI

Canucks flew past Jets with masterful performance. Now, about that Thatcher Demko injury… JT Miller: “Sometimes you go through injuries and sometimes you get lucky. I think we have faith in the group. Whoever needs to step up is going to do it.” https://t.co/eEe8rWtCLG

We're beating a dead horse here, and no doubt the Canucks lifted off the gas pedal in the third. But Ehlers' move to the top line with Scheifele and Connor led to that line outshooting Vancouver 3-0 in the third, generating three high-danger chances while allowing none.
Rick Tocchet said he hasn’t talked to the doctor, so he didn’t want to speculate on Demko’s injury, but he doesn’t think it’s “too serious” #Canucks @Sportsnet650
#Canucks Thatcher Demko & Casey DeSmith combine for 5-0 W vs WPG. Neither gets credit for shutout (considered team SO) It’s 3rd combined SO in VAN history: Feb.22/15: Ryan Miller/Eddie Lack (4-0 @ NYI) Dec.6/11: Roberto Luongo/Cory Schneider (6-0 v COL) @Sportsnet650 @SNstats https://t.co/FR0M4nxbZD

What do you think of the Canucks current form? https://t.co/z3PcsrNahf
The clash of Western Conference titans was a one-sided teardown. Vancouver rolled the Jets 5-0 and sends Winnipeg home with a crushing loss. Next up: Washington, on Monday, with Tyler Toffoli and Colin Miller available to play.
#NHLJets fall 5-0 to #Canucks to slip to 40-18-5 on the season. They split the road trip and return to face the #Caps to open a three-game homestand on Monday. SOG 37-22 as Canucks even the season series. They meet one more time in final game of regular season for both teams.
5-0 #Canucks as Pius Suter scores with 4:54 to go
Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers back together. Jets looking for a spark they didn't get in the second with the line shuffle.
The third period is underway and the #NHLJets have gone back to Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers to try and spark the offence.
DeSmith leads the #Canucks onto the ice for the 3rd. @Sportsnet650
through 40 minutes, shot attempts are 24-5 & shots are 15-2 for #Canucks at 5-on-5 with Jets leading scorer Mark Scheifele on the ice
Jets will look better with Toffoli and Vilardi back but this has been a rough one for'em. Canucks with pretty much complete domination through 40 minutes.
solid follow up to #Canucks best period of season. Demko made big save off Scheifele breakaway early. After that, Nux really didn't give Jets much at all
#NHLJets quality of play through 40 minutes: https://t.co/e4DNyHDBye
2nd period comes to a close and #NHLJets are down 4-0 to #Canucks SOG 29-14 for Vancouver.
Thatcher Demko looked like he was in some discomfort during drills at morning skate. Nothing serious. But certainly was noted by those in attendance. With 4-0 lead have to figure this is precautionary
With Vancouver up 4-0 midway through the second, Thatcher Demko just left the game and was replaced by Casey DeSmith
Pettersson. 4-0. Not Winnipeg's night.
Point shot by Quinn Hughes goes off a body in front and lands right on the tape of #Canucks F Elias Pettersson, who goes to the backhand and scores a power play marker that makes it 4-0 at 4:04 of the 2nd period.
Winnipeg's second period lines in Vancouver: Niederreiter-Scheifele-Appleton Namestnikov-Monahan-Ehlers Connor-Lowry-Iafallo But before the Jets can get anything going, Elias Pettersson scores on a power play to make it 4-0. This is a miserable night for Winnipeg.
#NHLJets bring out the line blender in the second period and it has a solid effect. Connor-Lowry-Iafallo Niederreiter-Scheifele-Appleton Ehlers-Monahan-Namestnikov Fourth line remains intact.
Quinn Hughes in the first period https://t.co/IIY0luJdEg
An early twist of the line blender for #NHLJets to start the second period: Niederreiter-Scheifele-Appleton
By a mile. Generated scoring chances at a dizzying rate in that opening frame, which hasn’t often been the case for the #Canucks, even when they’ve scored a ton or controlled play. https://t.co/kIJWyV2a4S
Gotta be Winnipeg's worst period of the season. A dog's breakfast from start to finish. Vancouver leads 3-0. They put up 20 shots.
Best Canucks first period of the season?
That's all three of Winnipeg's top lines that Vancouver has lit up now. This time it's in transition after Mason Appleton nearly made it 2-1 but four Jets were caught deep. The Jets are reeling, down 3-0, outshot 18-8, just blitzed by the Canucks.
Nothing short of a statement period for the #Canucks. Jets going to have to gather themselves quickly or the rout is going to be on.
Mason Appleton is absolutely robbed by Thatcher Demko and #Canucks race back the other way and Phil Di Giuseppe buries a pass from Teddy Blueger. #NHLJets trail 3-0.
Canucks are all over the Jets, 3-0
really liked #Canucks breakout on 2-0 goal. A couple of quick passes to elude forecheck. Through neutral zone with speed. Suter to net. Hoglander with the shot through traffic. Textbook stuff https://t.co/uJsJ7ekxPK
Hoglander. 2-0. Can't blame the top line for that one. Just a put on net that isn't handled well by Hellebuyck, who was screened.
Make that two greasy goals by the Canucks involving Hoglander, getting pucks and traffic to the net
Nils Hoglander handcuffed the entire offensive zone. Connor Hellebuyck looked twisted in knots by the time the puck went in. 2-0.
#Canucks up 2-0 as Nils Hoglander's shot slips past Connor Hellebuyck.
Nils Hoglander. 20 goal scorer.
20 for Höglander. Thought he got their on the first one, but that one is certainly his
#NHLJets top line getting outattempted 12-1 right now. They gave up the goal, too.
Greasy goal from Miller with a spot of flash from Hoglander
1-0 Canucks, via JT Miller. Vancouver outbattles Winnipeg in a rebound scramble beside Connor Hellebuyck. A few too many Jets on scene to be satisfied with that #NHLJets outcome.
That's special from Hoglander
Quinn Hughes is riding a 3-game point streak. 🔥 What's the play? 🤔 https://t.co/Lq4aoxLqxF
