Vancouver Canucks Unexpectedly Climb in Recent NHL Power Rankings
NHL.com has released their latest Super 16 Power Rankings as we officially hit the half-way point of the 2024-25 season on Thursday night.
Every week, the writers over at NHL.com share their power rankings based on the previous seven days and if you're a Vancouver Canucks fan, you know that the last four games haven't been particularly great.
Starting things off with last Thursday's game in Seattle, which saw the team lose Thatcher Demko to an injury, which was later found out to be back spasms.
Kevin Lankinen came into the game during the second period and helped the Vancouver Canucks pick up a shootout win over their Pacific Northwest rivals.
However, the next three games following that win in Seattle, Rick Tocchet's group would go on to lose - 3-0 shutout loss to Nashville, 5-4 overtime loss to Montreal and last night's 2-1 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals.
Vancouver Canucks rise in recent power rankings by NHL.com
Despite their 1-1-2 record over the last seven days, the writers at NHL.com have put the Vancouver Canucks 14th on their most recent Super 16 Power Rankings, a rise of two spots from last week.
Over the next seven days, the Vancouver Canucks will have some tough games including stops in Carolina, Toronto and Winnipeg to wrap up their road trip before returning home next Thursday to face the Los Angeles Kings.
The Vancouver Canucks have a lot of work to do to climb back into the race for a top-three spot in the Pacific Division, but there's no doubt they have the talent on their roster to do so.
