ing off a nice passing play between Boeser and Elias Pettersson just before the clock struck zero. Ehlers answered for the Jets at 14:50 with his 22nd, also off the rush, with a quick wrist shot, tieing the game at one before the quick-strike offence by the Canucks towards the end of the period.
The Canucks’ quick-strike offence continued in the second. After the Jets had pulled within one on Iafallo’s 11th, the Canucks got goals 46 seconds apart from Boeser and Suter to break the game open. Boeser scored his second of the night and 20th of the season, poking a puck between Hellebuyck’s legs, before Suter finished yet another pretty pass by Kiefer Sherwood for his 19th 46 seconds later. The period ended with the Canucks killing off a 17-second 5-on-3 by the Jets’ top-ranked power play, and the score was surprisingly 5-2 for the home team going into the final frame.
The third was well-played by the Canucks as they didn’t allow the Jets any more goals on the night, with Suter capping off the festivities with his 20th into an empty net in the final minute. Hellebuyck looked human in this one, stopping only 16 of 21 shots for an uncharacteristic .762 save percentage. Lankinen, meanwhile, was solid at the other end, stopping 19 of 21.
What’s Next for the Canucks & Jets?
Both teams are back in action on Thursday, with the Canucks visiting the St. Louis Blues and the Jets heading to Alberta to face the Edmonton Oilers.
