We're a month into the season and NHL’s Pacific Division is full of surprises. Bottom of the Pacific Division We’ll start at the bottom. Three teams are averaging under a point per game; those three teams were all in the playoffs last season. The Los Angeles Kings, the league’s lowest scoring team, dwell in the division basement. One step above the Kings are last season’s division champs and Stanley Cup finalists, the Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas is the league’s second-lowest scoring team. Next are the Anaheim Ducks, sitting in sixth in the division. Last season, they were the Pacific Division’s second place team. Each team has an excuse. Vegas is missing Nate Schmidt, plus injuries to newcomers Paul Stastny and Max Pacioretty have hurt. The Ducks have had plenty of their own health issues: Ryan Kesler is playing but not healthy while Corey Perry is out for several months and Ryan Getzlaf has missed a few games. The good news is the return of Patrick Eaves (he’s...

The Vancouver Canucks have exceeded expectations through 15 games in the 2018-19 season. Canada's Westernmost team is second in the Pacific Division, spearheaded by electrifying rookie forward Elias Pettersson. The Canucks' offensive play has made them one of the NHL's most entertaining teams but if their defense continues to struggle, their success so far may prove unsustainable. Too Many Goals Allowed Sure, Vancouver's goaltending tandem of Jacob Markstrom and Anders Nilsson have let in a handful of poor goals, but which goaltenders have not? It is the Canucks' negative goal differential that directly relates to their defensive deficiencies. The Canucks have allowed the sixth-most goals in the league at 50 while also giving up 3.33 goals-per-game. Their minus-three goal differential is the worst among NHL teams in a playoff position. Furthermore, the Canucks are one of two teams in a playoff berth to hold a goal differential below zero, the Buffalo Sabres...

Canucks center Elias Petterson just keeps conjuring more magic early in his rookie season, scoring two goals and three assists Friday night in a 7-6 overtime victory over the Colorado Avalanche at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. The 19-year-old super Swede scored with 36 seconds left in the third period to force overtime, making him the 16th player in NHL history to notch nine or more goals in his first nine career games. And he's the sixth player to achieve that outside of the league's inaugural season, according to the NHL public relations department. Earlier this week he was named NHL Rookie of the Month for October, and he is off to a flying start two days into November. In becoming the first Canucks rookie and the youngest player in franchise history notch a five-point game, Pettersson displayed more examples of his incredible hockey sense. Slick-Passing Swede Sparks Brock Boeser In the first period, Pettersson zipped a pinpoint pass to Brock Boeser that sprung...
