The best spectacle on ice wheeled into San Jose on Wednesday and, two nights after overcoming a four-goal deficit to beat the Montreal Canadiens, the Canucks rallied with a late equalizer earlier than beating the Sharks 6-5 when Pettersson capped 4 ½ minutes of additional time mayhem by taking pictures stick facet on goalie Eetu Makiniemi after Vancouver netminder Spencer Martin had stopped Timo Meier’s breakaway on the different finish.

In two video games, that’s 11 objectives towards and 4 factors for the Canucks.

The group has allowed 40 objectives of their final 11 video games — and is 8-3-0.

None of this is smart, in fact, however then neither do the Canucks. One-third via their Nationwide Hockey League season, we’re undecided in the event that they’re terrible or sensible, however they’re outrageously enjoyable to observe. So long as you might be unconcerned about issues like defending and hypertension.

It was Vancouver’s third straight OT win and gave the Canucks 5 consecutive street victories for the primary time since 2015. It additionally allowed the group to inch again to .500, 12-12-3, after beginning this season with seven straight losses.

Yeah, we’ve seen some issues.

Dakota Joshua, with two objectives, Nils Hoglander, Ilya Mikheyev and Andrei Kuzmenko additionally scored for the Canucks, who blew a 3-1 second-period lead and trailed 5-4 till Kuzmenko guided in Pettersson’s goalside slap-pass on a Vancouver energy play with 3:53 remaining in regulation time.

“We had the sport after which we gave it away,” Bruce Boudreau, the profitable coach, instructed reporters in San Jose. “I believe plenty of occasions a group like San Jose, as soon as they get the lead, they begin to panic slightly bit as a result of they haven’t had plenty of wins. It’s by no means ending — whichever group appears to be shedding will get a (energy play) and we took benefit of it. Petey made an extremely good play to Kuz and he scored. And the remaining is type of what it’s.”

The Canucks pressured additional time on Monday with the same play, J.T. Miller to Kuzmenko, with only one:25 left within the third interval.

Had they misplaced Wednesday, it might have been the eighth time this season — in 27 video games — that the Canucks had been defeated after main by at the very least two objectives. However, actually, when Logan Couture tied it 3-3 with a shorthanded objective that trickled via Martin midway via the center interval, it felt like the sport was simply starting.

“It took us two months to get even,” Boudreau stated of the Canucks’ report. “We don’t need to have to try this once more. I imply, we’ve received a tricky schedule developing once more. . . however I believe we need to get forward of the bar.”

Vancouver remained two factors out of a playoff spot.

MARTIN MATTERS

With No. 1 goalie Thatcher Demko out six weeks with a leg harm, Spencer Martin is a beginning NHL goalie for the primary time. Till final winter, the 27-year-old wasn’t an NHL goalie in any respect. That is all new to him, together with getting again into the crease Wednesday after he was hooked by Boudreau Monday for permitting 4 objectives on eight pictures.

Martin was overwhelmed on the primary one he confronted in San Jose, a bouncing deflection by Nick Bonino simply 18 seconds after the opening faceoff and a few seconds after Bo Horvat’s giveaway. The Canuck goalie appeared suspect on at the very least a few objectives.

However Martin additionally made a pile of five-alarm saves among the many 39 pictures he confronted, together with in additional time when he stared down Meier and Tomas Hertl. The groups mixed for 9 pictures in 4:25 of OT.

“Let’s face it, that they had some 10-bell pictures from the slot (and) they didn’t rating,” Boudreau stated. “(Former Boston Bruin goalie) Gerry Cheevers as soon as stated he didn’t care if he was profitable 1-0 or 7-6, however he all the time stopped the final one. And that’s what I really feel Marty’s like most nights.”

With Collin Delia up from the minors to again him, Martin now will get a full restoration day and apply day to arrange to face the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. A technique or one other, we’re going to be speaking about goaltending for some time.

POWER UP

The Canucks had been 2-for-3 on the facility play, making them 5-for-13 on their three-game profitable streak. Since starting their 8-3-0 run, Vancouver’s energy play is eighth within the NHL at 29 per cent. Its 82.1 per cent penalty killing ranks sixth throughout that point.

THE JOSHUA TREAT

The Canucks’ least-conspicuous NHL signing on July 13 was free-agent depth ahead Dakota Joshua, a 26-year-old from the Detroit space who had break up final season between the St. Louis Blues and their American League farm group.

Overshadowed by the Canucks’ $19-million-US signing that day of Mikheyev and the repatriation of B.C. boy Curtis Lazar, Joshua was a six-foot-three centre that Vancouver basic supervisor Patrik Allvin envisioned can be a strong fourth-line winger. Joshua signed a two-year, one-way contract for $825,000 per season, and the Canucks deliberate that he would earn it on their NHL group.

Two months into the common season, Joshua has been a quiet success story amid the Canucks’ tumultuous season. Quiet, at the very least, till Wednesday when the facility ahead returned from a two-game harm absence, scored twice, fought as soon as and got here inside a objective overturned on video evaluation from getting his first NHL hat trick.

Joshua completed with a team-leading 5 pictures on web, two objectives and two hits in 11:54 of ice time. In 24 video games, he has six objectives, eight factors and 55 hits whereas averaging 10:14 TOI. That’s glorious fourth-line manufacturing.
