If there’s one thing that’s consistent about this team, it’s that they’re wildly inconsistent. The Vancouver Canucks managed to shutout the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena, taking a game that was nearly postponed thanks to a snowstorm by a 3-0 scoreline.
Elias Pettersson skated with Brock Boeser and Jake DeBrusk, and was more frequently self-matched with Quinn Hughes against the top end of the Toronto lineup. Frankly, Pettersson’s deployment patterns on Saturday more closely matched how the Canucks have utilized J.T. Miller for much of this season.
