The NHL record for most overtime losses in a season is 18. The Vancouver Canucks dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.

Despite a strong effort, the Vancouver Canucks fell 2-1 in overtime to the Washington Capitals. Conor Garland scored the only goal, while Kevin Lankinen stopped 16 of the 18 shots he faced. With the loss, the Canucks dropped to 18-12-10 on the season and 11-4-4 away from Rogers Arena.

Make no mistake, what transpired at the end of Saturday night’s game was ugly. Cross-checks to the head and neck, no matter the reason for it, are more than deserving of supplemental discipline.

Quinn Hughes remains one of the most lethal offensive defensemen in the NHL, and his shot volume should be on full display in D.C. tonight.

The Vancouver Canucks returned home after their 6-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. After the disappointing loss, the club was given the day off.

The energy forward was part of last year’s Nashville Predators team, which turned their season around. On February 15, they sat 22nd in the league standings, five points out of the last playoff spot. The poor play caused their team trip to see U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas to be cancelled, which proved to be a catalyst for the better.
