The Vancouver Canucks finally have their first win of the season and it came in a dramatic 4-3 overtime victory.
The Canucks beat the Florida Panthers on the road after a huge goal from J.T. Miller in the extra frame. This was the team’s third overtime game in their first four contests.
Quinn Hughes dominated large parts of this game and tilted play in the Canucks favour whenever he was on the ice. He had set a new career-best in shots in the second period and finished with nine.
The Canucks were desperately looking for a win after starting the year 0-1-2. While they have only won one of their games, the team still has four points through four games.
Both goalies made plenty of big saves in this game as Kevin Lankinen and Sergei Bobrovsky each put forward strong starts. The Canucks had several chances to break the 2-2 tie in the third period but the Panthers future Hall-of-Fame goaltender shut the door.
The Canucks continue their road trip and play their next game on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The puck will drop at 4 pm PT.
