‘It sucks losing’: Vancouver Canucks struggling through eight-game winless skid
The Vancouver Canucks are facing a challenging eight-game winless streak as they struggle through an early season rebuild. Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Leevi Merilainen made a crucial save, stopping a penalty shot from Carolina Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho. Vancouver has only managed a single point from three losses in that time, including a 3-2 overtime loss to Florida on October 15.
Star centre Elias Pettersson acknowledged the difficulty of losing, stating that it "sucks." The team's penalty kill has been poor, and the Hurricanes, who hold the top spot in the league, took advantage, scoring three unanswered goals in the third period to secure the victory. Coach Manny Malhotra emphasized the need for his team to improve their third-period play, as well as their overall performance.
