The Vancouver Canucks have almost no margin for error right now in their quest for a playoff spot and they got a huge win on Wednesday night against the NHL leading Colorado Avalanche. Jaroslav Halak stopped 32 out of 33 shots to help slow down the Avalanche offense, backstopping the Canucks to a 3-1 win. Vancouver received goals from Brock Boeser, J.T. Miller, and Bo Horvat, all in the third period, to get the win. The playoffs are still a long shot at this point but every point helps right now. They are still three points out of a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference with a few teams ahead of them, while the Dallas Stars, the current second Wild Card team, still have three games in hand.
