Points to ponder as the Canucks started slow but strung together a third-straight win for the fifth time this season in a 4-2 victory over the Sharks to close out their home schedule on a high note at Rogers Arena:The Canucks weren’t quite sure what they were getting at the trade deadline when Erik Gudbranson was shipped to the Pittsburgh Penguins for the under-achieving Tanner Pearson.
Pearson was also stopped in tight on another bold foray to the crease, was double-shifted and even killed a penalty with Markus Granlund was banished for slashing in the second period. He then made it 2-2 in the third period when he got to the net as a Loui Eriksson backhander was stopped and he jammed a loose puck under the stopper.“My first NHL goal was under review, so I’ve been there multiple times before and it was a big goal in the game,” said Pearson.
“It’s probably a little bit of opportunity and playing with Bo, they’ve got some chemistry and he seems to be skating better than when we first got him. He’s playing well.” Green didn’t like his club’s first period but he liked the way his players responded to make it 2-2 in the third period before Granlund scored and Troy Stecher bagged the empty-netter.
He didn’t expect one to deflect from the point, change direction and find the net. And he didn’t expect another fanned effort in the slot to find an open teammate for the second goal.

After being teased by the fleet-footed Canucks defenceman in a pair of 3-on-3 overtime outings last week in which he dazzled, delivered and developed instant chemistry with Pettersson and Brock Boeser, it was only natural to wonder what that power play is going to look like next fall. “To go to Quinn and tell him we’re putting you in Edler’s spot, he would probably feel a little bit uncomfortable. There’s going to come a day where I hope he runs the power play. I’m excited as our fans, but it’s my job to see how high expectations are for him. And there are lockerroom dynamics. He’s only played two games in the NHL.”There’s more to Hughes than just the eye-popping creativity.
