EDMONTON - Travis Hamonic says Thursday night was exactly the kind of result the beleaguered Vancouver Canucks needed.
After losing six in a row, the Canucks stormed the ice in Edmonton on Thursday, dominating the Oilers in a 6-3 victory.
Snapping the skid felt good, Hamonic said. As the season grinds along, itâs never going to go necessarily the way you think or you want. But youâve got to kind of slow things down and enjoy the wins when they come your way and reset tomorrow, said the veteran defenceman.

It felt like we’d been kind of grinding for a little bit for the last couple and it was nice to get one.
Hamonic had a Gordie Howe hat trick in the win, scoring his first goal in a Canucks uniform, adding an assist, and dropping the gloves with Edmonton s Alex Chiasson.
