What’s going on?

Through 14 games, most would have assumed the Canucks would be 3rd in the Bedard sweepstakes, not 3rd in the Pacific. But a hot start from Jake Guentzel, Jonathan Toews, Tony DeAngelo, and Cal Peterson have the Canucks rolling. Currently, the Canucks offense ranks in the top 5, with 42 goals scored in 14 games (3.00/ game). Jake Guentzel is tied for 1st in points and 3rd in goals. Petersen is among league leaders with 2.16 GAA and .920 save pct.

With all that said, it is very unlikely the Canucks can keep up with their success. The team currently ranks 19th in PP (19%) and 17th in PK (76%). The team cannot win faceoffs, as only Toews is over 50%. The top line is carrying the team with 24 of 42 goals. We'll keep an eye on the team!
