‘We’ve Got a Long Ways to Go’: Rebuilding Vancouver Canucks Aim to Snap Losing Skid
Vancouver has lost seven straight and is trying to clean up special teams and defensive lapses after a six-game road trip, coach Manny Malhotra said.
- On Tuesday, the Vancouver Canucks host the Carolina Hurricanes at Rogers Arena, seeking to end a seven-game losing streak that has derailed their season.
- A grueling six-game road trip exposed defensive insufficiency and special-teams struggles, with the Canucks producing just one point from opportunities to claim at least two victories.
- Vancouver's penalty kill ranks last in the league at 58.1 per cent, while the power play operates at 20 per cent; the team has allowed 45 goals this season.

- The rebuilding team must establish a consistent identity as they face the reigning Stanley Cup champions, with management viewing this season as a long-term process requiring daily improvement.
