<h1>First period</h1>
<p>The Canucks are 0-10 this season when surrendering the opening goal of the game. This was not one of those games. Vancouver’s most eligible 20-year-old Nils Höglander created a turnover in the neutral zone, and turned it into a two on one going the other way. Bo Horvat got a quick pass over to Jordie Benn who simply beat Jacob Markstrom five-hole. <strong>1-0 Canucks </strong></p>

<p>Holtby wasn’t busy in the first but he looked dialled in. He made his best save of the period stopping Brett Ritchie on a breakaway.</p>
<p>With Calgary pinning Vancouver’s fourth line in their own zone, the puck came to insurance agent and part-time hockey player Loui Eriksson who checked the box marked ‘backhand’ on his ‘hockey moves’ form. Unsurprisingly, trying to clear the puck with a sheet of paper is not very effective and Calgary maintained pressure in the Canucks’ zone, resulting in a Jake Virtanen slashing penalty. A cursed play all around.</p>
<p>Luckily the Canucks’ penalty kill has been excellent, humming along at just under 82%, and it’s needed to be. Virtanen’s was their 78th penalty of the year, with the team averaging just under four per game.</p>
<h1>Second period</h1>
<p>In the opening seconds of the second period, Markstrom did his best Dominik Hasek impression, sliding into Tanner Pearson at full speed near the top of the circles to deny the Canuck winger an attempt on net.</p>

<p>Seven minutes later, Markstrom tried the Hasek-esque impersonation again (!). This time the gamble didn’t pay off. Horvat knocked Hughes’ pass out of the air, gathered and scored. <strong>2-0 Canucks.</strong></p>

<h1><strong>Top Performer </strong></h1>
<p>Braden Holtby. 35 saves and one goal against is a nice stat line but it was the quality of Holtby’s saves that impressed the most. On an evening when high danger chances only favoured the Canucks by one, it was Holtby who made this game lopsided. Even with 1:40 left in the third, and the game in hand, Holtby stared down an Elias Lindholm one-timer to put a bow on his stellar performance.</p>

<h1>Wrap Up</h1>
<p>This game will go a long way for the Canucks to exorcise their Jacob Markstrom demons. Markstrom is an excellent goalie who can steal a win for his team on any given night, but there are also nights, like tonight, where he looks human. Having this game in the memory bank will do wonders for the Canucks’ collective psyche. For the Canucks to chase him in the third was the cherry on top.</p>
<h1>What’s Next</h1>
<p>After their one-night jaunt over the rockies, the Canucks come right back home to face the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night. The Canucks will be riding high after the result in Calgary and will be facing a Jets team who have dropped three of their last five. I’d expect Travis Green to ride the hot hand and come back with Holtby again next game.</p>

Tyler Myers and Olli Juolevi <em>did not </em>have strong defensive games, despite tonight’s revelation that Juolevi does have a body and he can put that body in between his opponents and his own net.

<h1><strong>Top Performer </strong></h1>
Braden Holtby. 35 saves and one goal against is a nice stat line but it was the quality of Holtby’s saves that impressed the most. On an evening when high danger chances only favoured the Canucks by one, it was Holtby who made this game lopsided. Even with 1:40 left in the third, and the game in hand, Holtby stared down an Elias Lindholm one-timer to put a bow on his stellar performance.

<h1>Wrap Up</h1>
This game will go a long way for the Canucks to exorcise their Jacob Markstrom demons. Markstrom is an excellent goalie who can steal a win for his team on any given night, but there are also nights, like tonight, where he looks human. Having this game in the memory bank will do wonders for the Canucks’ collective psyche. For the Canucks to chase him in the third was the cherry on top.
<h1>What’s Next</h1>
After their one-night jaunt over the rockies, the Canucks come right back home to face the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night. The Canucks will be riding high after the result in Calgary and will be facing a Jets team who have dropped three of their last five. I’d expect Travis Green to ride the hot hand and come back with Holtby again next game.
