Vancouver Canucks goaltender Arturs Silovs and defenseman Carson Soucy celebrate the team's 4-3 overtime win against the Nashville Predators in Game 4 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup first-round playoff series Sunday, April 28, 2024, in Nashville, Tenn. The Vancouver Canucks face the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the second round of the NHL playoffs at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Friday, May 10, 2024 .
“It’s in the past, but obviously, with the series being as lopsided as it was, we need to address some things and change some things,” Knoblauch said. Connor McDavid has led the Oilers in the postseason with a league-leading 12 points in the first round. Zach Hyman has continued his blistering scoring pace, too, with seven goals in the first five games of the playoffs.
Both Vancouver and Edmonton relied on formidable penalty kills in the first round, too. The Oilers killed off all the infractions they faced. The Canucks penalty kill was at 90.9%.“We’re a good power-play unit. That being said, they’re going to throw different things at us, we’ll throw different things at them,” he said. “It’s a playoff series. And we’ll challenge each other. They’re a good PK, we’re a good power play. We’ll see.
Vancouver’s star goalie, Thatcher Demko, is still recovering from a lower-body injury that kept him out of all but one game in the first round. Tocchet has not said whether it will be rookie Arturs Silovs or veteran backup Casey DeSmith in the Canucks’ net to start the second-round series.Top scorers: Edmonton — Connor McDavid, 132 points; Vancouver — J.T. Miller, 103 points
