PANTHERS 2, CANUCKS 2 (OT)
The Canucks used two goals in the third period to erase a two-goal deficit and get a point at home. Mattias Ohlund put a puck off the crossbar in the overtime period, leaving the Canucks winless in regulation time at the Garage since the 8th of November. They are winless in five games at home.
Also in the overtime period, Henrik Sedin was nailed for an early high-stick, which the Canucks killed off thanks to some wicked Alex Auld saves on Viktor Kozlov and Val Bure.
Goals for the Canucks were scored by Mattias Ohlund (7th), and the game-tying goal by Henrik Sedin (5th).
Alex Auld stopped 29 shots for the Canucks.
Valeri Bure scored both goals for the Panthers. As you may know, Val Bure is Mr. Candace Cameron (DJ Tanner). No word on if the show Full House was showed in the Canuck dressing room as intermission entertainment/motivation.
In a weird stat, the Canucks lead the league in points (13 with a record of 4-5-4-1) when trailing after two periods.
The Canucks face the Coyotes on Tuesday in the brand-new arena in Glendale. The radio announcers will undoubtedly talk about how the sightlines are better and how the press box will be on the correct side of the rink, i.e., if the players are going from right to left on the monitor, they will also be going right to left when they look out of the press box and onto the rink.
