Abbotsford Canucks extend win streak to five games
A pair of home wins pushed Abbotsford to 5-2-0-1 and first in the Pacific Division, with Jacob Quillan scoring a hat trick Sunday.
The Abbotsford Canucks have surged to first place in the Pacific Division following five consecutive victories, extending their winning streak by defeating the Calgary Wranglers on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25.
Newly acquired forward Jacob Quillan, traded from the Toronto Maple Leafs organization on October 15, has bolstered the offense; the Nova Scotia product recorded his second career AHL hat trick during Sunday's victory, totaling six points in four games.
Starting goalie Nikita Tolopilo stopped 21 of 22 shots during Sunday's 4-2 win, maintaining strong defensive presence, while forward Trey Fix-Wolansky leads the team with nine points in eight games providing consistent offensive production.
Having avoided regulation losses since October 3, the Canucks hold a 5-2-0-1 record; rookie forward Braeden Cootes remains sidelined with a lower-body injury while the team drew 2,871 fans at Sunday's game.
Upcoming road games in San Jose on Wednesday, October 28, and Bakersfield on Friday, October 30, precede a home stand hosting the Ontario Reign on November 6 and 7.
