Tuesday night was arguably one of the best home performance from Vancouver this season. They held avalanche for 25 shots and became the second team this year to close Colorado. In the end, Canucks was able to frustrate avalanche and were able to hold them for six chances with high jaws at night.

While the team as a whole played well, Vancouver’s best player was arguably Demko. The Canucks Goal Tender looked like his old self, pulled the raising-wheel rescues and looked in control all night. Overall, this was another impressive performance from Demko, who won his fifth win of the season and 121. In his career.

“Oh, so happy for him,” Boeser said when asked about Demko’s shutout. “You know he worked so hard. He’s doing everything the right way. Such a good pro, and for him to get a closure tonight, you know, like one of his good friends, it’s great to see and See him make some savings like what I’m excited about him.

Another standout from the game was the defender Elias Pettersson. Junior, whom he is called in the dressing room, logged 13:57 of the ice age and ended the night with four hits and a shot on goal. Based on his first four matches, it’s hard to see Pettersson get out of the lineup as he has earned a place on Vancouver’s third pair.

Yes, I like Pete, “said Demko about the young blueliner.” He is a guy who will do everything the right way. He is young, but his attention to details is great. I’ve also enjoyed having him around like a guy. Obviously, we have a lot of Swedish guys, so we get used to the culture and the type of guys that these guys are. But yes, he has been good. I think he only gets better and I think his potential is huge. “

As for Filip Chytil, he still makes a strong impression with his new team. The former New York Rangers Center had one assist, two takeaways and won 72.7% of his 11 Faceoffs during his 20:45 of the ice age. Two matches in his Canucks career, Chytil is already a fan favorite and seems to play a key role for Vancouver for the rest of the season.

From a team perspective, the most impressive part of the game was arguably the third period. Canucks were able to build on their lead through Power Play and kill the clock while surpassing Colorado 8-4. This was a refreshing change that throughout the season, Vancouver has often chosen to defend rather than to attack when they enter the third period of a lead.

In the end, there were a lot of positive things to take from this game. The defense was able to transfer the puck well, which led to scoring chances all night. If Canucks not only wants to run to the playoffs but have eyes to get past the first round, they need their group to match the context they showed Tuesday against avalanche.
