One of the teams that were expected to show dominance in the Western Conference was Vancouver Canucks, however their defensive performance has prevented them from being as competitive as they were during the first half of the prior season. Despite this, there’s still a long way to go, and games like the one they’ll hold against Boston Bruins next Saturday are key for them to increase their chances of battling for the Pacific Division championship.
When looking deeper at Vancouver Canucks’ performance, they just cut off with a streak of 2 losses in a row after their most recent victory over Florida Panthers (4-0), a great result that allowed them to convert into the second-best offensive in the Pacific Division with 92 scored goals. Even so, there are players like Elias Pettersson and Conor Garland who need to increase their offensive effectiveness as they’re the ones that spend more time on the ice.
On Boston Bruins’ case, this team was already showing an important recovery against some of the most irregular teams in the league, however they now have a streak of 2 losses in a row after clashing against competitive teams like Seattle Kraken and Winnipeg Jets. In this regard, the Bruins remain as the second worst offensive in the Atlantic Division after scoring 77 goals as well as the second worst defensive after conceding 100 goals throughout the season.
