Vancouver Canucks' Elias Lindholm shoots the puck at Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner during the second period of Game 1 of a second-round NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs series, Wednesday, May 8, 2024, in Vancouver, British Columbia. But they overcame a 4-1 deficit over the final 23 minutes and stunned the Oilers by a 5-4 score, setting up Game 2 on Friday night from Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Conor Garland took a short pass from Dakota Joshua, faked a slap shot at the right circle and slipped a wrist shot between goalie Stuart Skinner’s legs from a sharp angle to put Vancouver ahead. It was Vancouver’s second goal in 39 seconds and third in 4:48.“Maybe four or five months ago, or maybe last year, you might have seen some frustration, some laziness or when something frustrated us, we take a bad penalty,” Canucks coach Rick Tocchet.
“It’s a resilient group,” Tocchet told The AP. “Sometimes we’re not pretty. Sometimes things happen. But I just feel like it’s a real close group. And this is when you need a close group, these situations. And I thought everyone had something to contribute tonight. There were no passengers.”
