Kuzmenko breaks Bure's franchise record as Canucks erupt for 7 goals in win over Sharks

Andrei Kuzmenko scored, notched an assist and set a record Thursday as his Vancouver Canucks toppled the visiting San Jose Sharks 7-2.

The Russian winger scored his 35th of the season, setting a new high for goals by a first-year Canucks player. He surpassed the 34 put up by Pavel Bure in 1991-92.

Tomas Hertl and Andrew Agozzino replied for the struggling Sharks (19-38-15).

Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko stopped 17-of-19 shots and James Reimer made 14 saves for the visitors.

Di Giuseppe buried his fifth of the season 11:28 into the period, tipping in Quinn Hughes's rocket from the point.

Hughes now has 68 points (five goals, 63 assists) on the year, tying the record he set last season for points by a Canucks defenceman.

San Jose cut its deficit to two goals 9:55 into the third when Agozzino sprinted down the ice and sent a wrister over Demko's glove from the hash marks.

Garland boosted Vancouver's cushion to three goals 12:34 into the second.

Defenceman Tyler Myers hit the winger in the chest with a long pass and the puck dropped to the ice, where Garland batted it in to make it 4-1.

The Canucks took a 3-1 lead into the first intermission after Joshua tucked a buzzer beater around an outstretched Reimer with 0.4 seconds left on the clock.
