Canucks Takeaways: Demko returns a winner, Hughes continues to dazzle

1 12 minutes read

After ready practically three months to play a Nationwide Hockey League sport, Thatcher Demko was pressured by Vancouver Canuck teammates to stand round for an additional eight minutes on Monday night time.

Then Jamie Benn beat Demko on a breakaway on the Dallas Stars’ second shot. Demko needn’t have nervous about having so little to do as a result of over the ultimate 2 ½ durations, the Stars outshot the Canucks 36-12. Excessive-danger possibilities had been 18-3 for Dallas at five-on-five.

“I do know I’m wholesome,” Demko stated when requested in regards to the workload. “So, that’s the plus.”

Not likely. The plus is that the franchise goaltender made 34 saves, tracked the puck effectively and managed his rebounds, and allowed his staff to steal a sport 5-4 in additional time with a lineup that included eight gamers who’ve been within the American Hockey League this season.

Demko did greater than merely survive his first sport since Dec. 1.

Anthony Beauvillier had his finest sport since coming to the Canucks from New York within the Bo Horvat commerce a month in the past, scoring twice and organising a fairly game-winner for Andrei Kuzmenko. The primary-year Russian gained it together with his sixth aim in 5 video games by deftly redirecting Beauvillier’s centring go previous Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger 48 seconds into additional time.

The aim survived a ponderously-long video assessment for offside. Fortuitously for Kuzmenko, no one in Tank Nation had enter on the assessment.

No one is ever happier than Kuzmenko – anyplace, anytime – and he used the six-minute delay to schmooze and work the room. However no one received extra love from teammates when the cliffhanger verdict was lastly introduced than Demko, who returned a winner in his first sport since badly injuring his groin on Dec. 1.

Hughed aviation

Play this sport that approach 10 occasions, and the Stars beat the Canucks within the 9 of them. However one factor that was all talent and no luck was the virtuoso efficiency by Vancouver defenceman Quinn Hughes, who could also be taking part in the most effective hockey of his life.

Regardless of the Stars’ dominance over the ultimate 48 minutes, the Canucks outshot them 10-6 and outscored them 4-0 with Hughes on the ice at even energy. The 23-year-old had three assists — two important stretch passes and an all-world spinarama in visitors to arrange Beauvillier’s second aim – and now has 57 factors in 56 video games whereas going plus-12 on a Twenty seventh-place staff that has been outscored by 36 objectives this season.

He has been among the finest pure passers and most elusive skaters nearly since he entered the NHL, however new coach Rick Tocchet has Hughes digging in defensively, too, which is taking him to one other degree.

The Miller Story

The Canucks introduced earlier than the sport that J.T. Miller is out week-to-week with a lower-body harm. After he didn’t make the journey to Dallas on Sunday, Twitter reacted the way in which it normally does when an Athletic reporter recommended Miller could also be held out of the lineup by the Canucks for commerce functions due to curiosity in him from different groups. That’s doable.

But when the Canucks have been getting critical commerce calls on Miller, it’s a sudden improvement.

Regardless of weeks of breathless conjecture forward of final 12 months’s commerce deadline about competing bids for Miller (when he was having a profession, 99-point season and had a 12 months left on a cut price contract), the Canucks truly received few actual affords for the centre. It could be stunning now if any staff is raring to purchase him with Miller possessing a seven-year, $56-million IOU that begins subsequent season when he can be 30 years outdated.

“I actually don’t suppose I’m getting traded; that’s all I’ve to say,” Miller stated final week. “It’s a little completely different than final 12 months. I’ve been unsuitable earlier than however I don’t suppose that is a type of occasions.”

Not stand pat

Of the six trades basic supervisor Patrik Allvin has made for the Canucks since September, the quietest one additionally has the potential to be his most lopsided wins. It’s troublesome to think about him doing any worse than at the least a tie by unloading depth defenceman Riley Stillman to the Buffalo Sabres on Monday for 19-year-old, second-tier prospect Josh Bloom.

Perhaps Bloom, a six-foot-two winger from Oakville, Ont., who has been a point-per-game participant within the Ontario Hockey League this season, performs within the NHL or possibly he doesn’t. The third-round decide from two years in the past definitely can be given the possibility by the Canucks to develop into a skilled participant.

However even when Bloom goes bust, shedding Stillman and his $1.35-million wage that has one other 12 months to run is a win. The Canucks ought to have the ability to exchange Stillman with an equal or higher participant for about $500,000 much less, and at the least there’s upside to Bloom.

Taking part in defence on the Canucks has not been straightforward for anybody this season given the structural chaos that led to Tocchet changing Bruce Boudreau as head coach on Jan. 22. However Stillman by no means discovered a spot and within the 32 video games he did play, Vancouver was outscored 31-17 at five-on-five whereas the defenceman constructed a goals-for proportion of simply 44.2.

It’s a tiny pattern, however skilled minor-leaguers Christian Wolanin and Guillaume Brisebois noticeably outperformed Stillman once they had been referred to as up final week to the NHL. Every is making $750,000, as is Canuck depth defenceman Kyle Burroughs, who competed with Stillman for ice time.

Tocchet instantly observed Wolanin’s and Brisebois’ “construction,” which in hockey is a synonym for dependability and consistency, saying after Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins: “I’ve received to give a lot of kudos to (Abbotsford Canucks coach) Jeremy Colliton down there as a result of the fellows we referred to as up there, Brisebois and Wolanin, they’re system guys. And I believe it begins from Abbotsford.”

Russian Roulette

A wild card in Sunday’s no-risk commerce with the New York Rangers for 2018 ninth-overall draft decide Vitali Kravtsov is agent Dan Milstein, who helped facilitate the deal to Vancouver, the place he additionally represents Kuzmenko and Ilya Mikheyev.

Each Russians had been introduced to the Canucks by Milstein as free brokers final summer time, and every flourished because the group made good on its dedication to present ice time and prime roles for the wingers. When Kuzmenko signed a two-year, $11-million bridge deal in January, he advised reporters: “I say to my agent, ‘I belief 100 per cent to you. If you say to me, Andrei, go to signal, I signal.’”

Milstein and Allvin have constructed a robust relationship. They belief one another.

Milstein could have made Kravtsov conscious of the second likelihood he’s getting with the Canucks after the 23-year-old bounced forwards and backwards between the Rangers and the Kontinental Hockey League, managing solely 5 objectives in 48 video games within the NHL throughout components of two seasons.
