Canucks Clinch Pacific Division After 4-1 Win Over Flames
April 17, 2024 by Matthew Zator
With their 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, the Vancouver Canucks have clinched the Pacific Division for the first time in their history. The last time they won the division was back in 2012-13 when it was called the Northwest Division. They are also still in the running for the Western Conference title unless the Dallas Stars snag a point in their final game against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. As it stands right now, they have 50 wins – the first time that has happened since 2011-12 – and 109 points, the third-highest point total in franchise history.
