After rattling off a pair of unexpected victories over Toronto and then a buzzer-beating win against the Canadiens, the Vancouver Canucks took to the ice in hopes of extending their winning ways to four games.  Unfortunately, Montreal had other ideas as they rocked the Canucks 5-1 out at Rogers Arena outshooting the West Coasters 44-24 to send Vancouver to a challenging 12-16-2 through 30 regular-season games.
