STREAK-KING
Extending his point streak to eight games (5-10-15) with a goal on Mar. 3 at NYI, J.T. Miller became the only player in the NHL to record three separate
point streaks of 8+ games this season:
Feb. 6-Mar. 3, 5-10-15, 8GP
Dec. 6-Jan. 1, 3-10-13, 9GP
Oct. 30-Nov. 14, 6-4-10, 8GP
Miller is also the seventh player to have accomplished the feat in the last 10 years, joining Connor McDavid (x2), Leon Draisaitl (x2), Nikita Kucherov,
Sidney Crosby, Ryan Johansen, and Evgeni Malkin.
COMEBACK COMPLETE
Clawing back from 1-0 and 3-2 deficits on Mar. 3 at NYI, the Canucks recorded their second regulation win on the season when coming back from
multiple deficits. They also came back from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to win 4-2 in regulation on Oct. 23 at SEA.
HOMETOWN HUNT-ING
With Maple Ridge-native Brad Hunt netting his first goal of the season on Mar. 3 at NYI, the Canucks have received goals from multiple Greater
Vancouver-born defenders (Kyle Burroughs – Vancouver) in the same season for the first time in club history.
PEARSON-AL BEST
Collecting his 11th goal of the season and fourth in five games on Feb. 28 at NJD, Tanner Pearson established a career-high five-game point streak (4-
2-6). It also represented his 100th point as a Canuck (51-49-100) in his 190th game.
SCORING IN BUNCHES
The Canucks scored at least five goals for the third straight game during a 5-2 win at NYR on Feb. 27, accomplishing the feat for just the fifth time in the
past 25 years. The other instances occurred from Oct. 22-30/19 (4 GP), Dec. 1-6/11 (3 GP), Oct. 14-18/05 (3 GP), and Feb. 6-25/98 (3 GP).
PUTTING UP THE POINTS
Recording three points (2-1-3) on Feb. 24 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson registered his fourth consecutive multipoint game for the first time in his career. In
four games from Feb. 17-24, Pettersson collected 10 points (3-7-10).
DIFFERENT FASHIONS
Trouncing the Flames 7-1 on home ice on Feb. 24, Vancouver scored four different types of goals for the first time in franchise history: Power play
(Pettersson, Miller, Horvat), shorthanded (Pettersson), penalty shot (Miller), even strength (Horvat, Garland).
THREE CAN PLAY THAT GAME
J.T. Miller, Elias Pettersson, and Bo Horvat each notched two goals on Feb. 24 vs CGY, marking the first time the Canucks had multiple goals from three
or more players in a game since Oct. 29/11 vs WSH (Higgins, Lappiere, Edler).
STREAK SNAPPERS
Defeating Calgary by a score of 7-1 on Feb. 24, Vancouver became the first team in NHL history to beat an opponent on a 10+ game winning streak by
six or more goals.

MOTTE SO FAST
Tyler Motte (0:11) scored the fastest goal from the start of a game by any player this season on Feb. 21 vs SEA. It also equaled the fourth-fastest to
begin a game in franchise history: Alex Burrows (Mar 16/13) :06, Trevor Linden (Jan 16/94) :09, Henrik Sedin (Oct 24/14) :10.

    POSTGAME QUOTES:
    HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
    On tonight’s game:
    “Obviously, I didn’t like the start. That first goal that we give up, to me we just lacked the intensity required to start the game in that instance there and it cost us. From that point, I liked a lot about our game, I
    thought they gave up a little too much with their counter and their transition coming out of our long o-zone sequences and then they would counter and get a pretty good rush chance the other way. Obviously, we deserved a whole lot more offence in goals than we got tonight but that’s what happens you spot them a 2-0 lead, it’s a team that relies on world class goaltending to win games as it is, then you give them a two-goal lead then it’s an uphill climb from there. Loved that our guys kept fighting, two huge power play goals
    to even the game, tough one to give up at the end of the second there to give them the lead back. Goaltending is the difference but really for me since I don’t coach the goaltender on the other side, it’s about the two goals we give them off the hop.”
    AUSTON MATTHEWS
    On tonight’s game:

    “I think we did a lot of good things. I think our start maybe wasn’t as good as we wanted to and obviously they capitalized on it there early and forced us to have to dig ourselves out of a hole but I thought the second period and the third period we really had a lot of time in their end of the ice and had a lot of really
    good chances, some unlucky and then some really good saves by their goalie. Just a couple things to clean up especially our start there. I think we start a little bit better and we don’t have to dig ourselves out of a hole I think we’re playing with a little bit more confidence there.”
    ONDŘEJ KAŠE
    On his second-period goal:

    “It was a big goal for me, I haven’t scored in a while. I was happy it was for 2-2. It was a big goal but after that they scored again and you know, I would trade the goal for two points, but I can’t.”
    On how he felt playing tonight after exiting Thursday’s game early:
    “I felt really good today actually… It’s kind of tough, after I feel like a good game, we lost two points so it’s tough to say now how I felt.”
    PETR MRÁZEK
    On tonight’s game:
    “Obviously not the start we wanted, down 2-0 early on, but I think we picked it up really well. Starting in the second period we were rolling pretty well and just couldn’t score more.”
    On the goals he allowed tonight:
    “The first one, I have to look at it. I didn’t have the time to see it. Obviously, the second one just hit his body and went in. I didn’t like the third goal. An important one that I wish I would have put it in a different spot and I just put it right on his tape.
