As the Canucks begin a five-game road trip in Pittsburgh tonight, they need more than just the moral victories they've earned lately. Silver linings are for losing teams. (imacSportsnet)

But as the Canucks have proved: this isn’t nearly enough.

"When you're a good player in this league, you've got to have a good belief in yourself. And when things aren't going well, you face it and look it in the mirror and dig in. We need to work. If you work, it's easy to be confident. When you work extremely hard, confidence comes from that. And it doesn't have to be necessarily scoring or highlight-reel goals. It's just playing well and playing hard and playing for the team to win.

Hamonic, who returned to the Canucks at the end of October, is expected to join the team before the road trip ends. Green may have the option Wednesday of using rugged defenceman Luke Schenn, who suffered a lower-body injury on Nov. 5.Already seven points out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference, and with the Pacific Division looking much stronger than many experts predicted, the Canucks probably need the points equivalent of at least 41 wins from their final 63 games.

“Everyone knows where we are,” Hughes said. “At the same time, we can't look at and get down and feel sorry for yourself. You just have to think positively and just worry about what you can control, and that's the next game. Try to get this next game and then take it from there.”
