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.
