Jan Rutta is on the ice for #SJSharks pregame warmups.
Stars PK has been critical in this one. 2.5 power plays for the Canucks and Vancouver doesn't have a shot on goal, let alone a goal. 😬

The Canucks are an NHL-best 18-0-0 when leading after 2.
#Preds looked like they may have climbed back into this one with Lauzon's goal and then Vancouver immediately slams the door with two quick goals. It's a 4-1 #Canucks lead late in the second period.
Van comes right back. Hoglander battles in front and gets stick on Hughes point wrister for his 10th goal of season to restore two-goal lead. 3-1. #Canucks
as good as they were in the first, #Canucks have been pretty passive in second. Just 4 shots on goal and started period on the power play
the late breakaway not withstanding, terrific first period for #Canucks against hottest team in league. Gave up next to nothing. Start second on a power play with chance to extend 2-0 lead
Pettersson does something amazing, then the #Canucks get a wildly fortunate bounce and capitalize. That’s the blueprint. 2-0 Vancouver.
Off a 2-on-1 rush with Kuzmenko, Pettersson goes lower blocker side on Saros to open scoring. #Canucks
Pettersson wrists one home blocker side on Juuse saros on the rush. #Preds trail 1-0
