Canucks cap 'a special night for everyone' with complete win over Kings - Sportsnet.ca

But the best thing of all was that after scoring just two goals in two hours while losing road games last week in Edmonton and Calgary, the Canucks won a game emphatically and made their first standings deposit of the season. That surge began on a sequence that, as more than any other, illustrated how this rebuilt Canucks team is trying to be different than the one that missed the Stanley Cup playoffs the last four seasons.
