The Vancouver Canucks, as a team, has been struggling with winning, let alone scoring, but Friday night\u2019s game 5-2 win against the Columbus Bluejackets saw the team do both and bringing an end to a losing streak that saw the team go five games without a win.<\/p>\n
In the last four games, Vancouver managed only five goals<\/strong> but tonight succeeded in scoring four times in the 2nd period<\/strong>. When you consider their last win came in November, tonight\u2019s National Hockey League victory was much needed.<\/p>\n Vancouver<\/a><\/strong> has been suffering due to a number of injuries<\/strong>, and tonight saw Sven Baertschi returning after being on the injured list for the last month due to a broken jaw. Baertschi didn\u2019t waste time getting into the action and was in the right place during the 2nd period<\/strong> when Thomas Vanek passed the puck to Baertschi who then scored and tied the game.<\/p>\n Sergei Bobrovsky, the Bluejackets goaltender, was in the crosshairs of Vancouver\u2019s Erik Gudbranson<\/a><\/strong> sent a shot from 45 feet out to give the Canucks a 2-1 lead. Brendan Gaunce then found himself in a two-on-one breakaway and made it 3-1. This was no ordinary goal as Gaunce, who has only scored twice in his HNL career<\/strong> saw his stick snap as he took the shot. If that was not enough action in the second period, the Canucks Alexander Edler managed to bank a shot off Markus Nutivaara to give the Canucks a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n NHL<\/strong><\/p>\n
