A missed opportunity, as Vancouver let a point slip out of tis grasp when unable to hold a lead on Friday in Columbus. At least the Canucks offense is working in this current playoff push, scoring 15 times across the past three games, which includes wins at the Islanders and Devils. There remains urgency for Vancouver, which has been chasing St Louis (and now Minnesota, with the Blues surging) for the last playoff spot in the West; on 81 points, the Canucks are six in back of the Wild and Blues, but do have games-in-hand against each (one over Minnesota, two over St Louis). Meanwhile, Winnipeg is getting a push from Dallas at the top of the Central and overall in the West, and the Kevin Lankinen vs. Connor Hellebuyck goalie matchup worked in the Canucks' favor on March 18 at Rogers Arena in a 6-2 Vancouver win.
