Saturday in Los Angeles, the Canucks face a Kings team that has won eight of their last 10 games.
The Canucks gave up two goals to the Coyotes’ power play and failed to score a power play goal on five attempts of their own.
When you lose 3-2, it’s pretty easy to point to that two-goal special teams spread as the reason for the loss. The Canucks’ PK remains the worst in the league — and is currently tied for the worst single-season PK percentage of all time, with the 1979-80 Kings — while L.A.’s power play is sixth-best in the league .Thatcher Demko continues to look like his old self. He made another strong start on Thursday in Arizona.He’s healthy and recovered from the groin injury he suffered mid-season, but there’s no doubt he’ll benefit from the rest that awaits in the off-season.
If you’re looking for the key difference between these two teams’ seasons, look no further than goals against. The Canucks are scoring an average of 3.34 goals per game for the season, the Kings 3.35 per game, but Vancouver has given up 3.78 goals per game. L.A. has yielded 3.22 goals against.Article contentRecommended from Editorial
