The Canucks were on the ropes for six minutes before the dam burst: Brown scored his goal — he’d also score the seventh goal of the game — followed a minute later by a power play marker by McDavid, then another a minute after that by Brett Kulak, a shot off the wing that somehow sailed through Lankinen.

The Vancouver Canucks were lackluster against the Edmonton Oilers Saturday night, giving up seven goals, four in the third period alone. Goals, you may have heard, are hard to score in the NHL. But if you manage to get the puck around the net with regularity, you’ll stand a good chance of scoring.
