Canucks’ Burning Questions: Hughes, Pettersson, Trades & More
January 17, 2024 by Matthew Zator
The Vancouver Canucks have been one of the most surprising teams in the NHL this season and currently sit tied with the Winnipeg Jets for first in the NHL with 62 points (29-11-4). They also boast the league’s best goal differential at a gaudy plus-54 and are both lethal offensively (168 goals for – second) and stout defensively (112 goals against – tied for fourth). What many thought was a hot streak that couldn’t be sustained has become the norm and now fans and analysts alike are calling this team not only playoff contenders but Stanley Cup contenders as well.
But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. There are still 38 games left in the regular season and the playoffs are always a different animal – just ask the 2022-23 Boston Bruins who dominated the league only to be eliminated by the Florida Panthers in the first round. With that said, let’s get to a few burning questions for the rest of the season.
