NHL Power Rankings: Which Teams Are Lighting Up the Ice and Which Are Hanging by a Thread After a Quarter Season
28. Vancouver Canucks, 9-11-2
Last week: 28
Sean: 28
Dom: 28
Green flag: Elias Pettersson
We’re going to say this gently: Pettersson, with 20 points in 22 games, is showing some positive signs. With three more five-on-five goals, he’ll tie his total from last season. Faint praise, perhaps, but it counts for something. Harman Dayal has more on the topic.
Red flag: Worst expected goals allowed in the league
Vancouver is allowing 3.33 expected goals against per 60, nearly a full goal worse than last season. The Tyler Myers-Marcus Petterson pair (38 percent expected goal share, 3.57 xGA per 60) has a lot to do with that.
