Bertuzzi reaches 20 goals in two goal performance as Canucks improve to .500 (sort of) in third consecutive shutout win
December 15th, 2017 -
Vancouver is rolling right now. After a DeSmith shutout in his return from the AHL Markstrom has gone on to post two straight shutouts of his own as Vancouver wins three games in a row 3-0. Bertuzzi's two goals tonight gave him twenty on the season in just the 33rd game of the year. The young winger is on pace for 49 goals in his breakout season. He is also now tied for seventh in goal scoring in the NHL.
Bo Horvat is back on track as well. Since Bylsma brought McCann up to join him on the second line Horvat has three goals and three assists in six games. Vancouver has not lost in regulation in that stretch. They are now within one point of third in the crowded Pacific, the closest they've been to a playoff spot in a long time.
