2021/04/25 13:22 VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) Tanner Pearson and J.T. Miller scored late in the third period and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Ottawa Senators 4-2 Saturday night. Nate Schmidt and Brock Boeser also scored for Vancouver, and Bo Horvat had two assists. Braden Holtby had 26 saves, including a penalty shot. Evgenii Dadonov had a goal and an assist, and Colin White also scored for the Senators, who snapped a three-game winning streak. Matt Murray started and stopped 12 of 13 shots before leaving wit an injury early in the second period. Marcus Hogberg had 18 saves in relief. The teams continue their four-game series Monday and Wednesday night at Ottawa.
“Every game is a must win. You want to give yourself the best chance possible,” Pearson said. “Obviously we have games in hand, which could be the key for us. We’ve got to keep pushing, take it one game at a time and keep on staying in the win column.”
Vancouver’s victory came after the Senators blanked the Canucks 3-0 on Thursday. Coach Travis Green liked a lot of what the Canucks did on Saturday, but saw room for improvement, too.
“Our game was solid in a lot of areas. I thought our five-on-five game was a lot better,” he said. “I just thought we almost shot ourselves in the foot a little bit tonight. We have to play a little bit smarter at certain times. We can’t take that many penalties. ”
