Unfortunately this is the type of game the Canucks are going to run into in the playoffs. Teams like the Jets collapse down low; take away the shooting lanes and participate in endless scrums along the end wall.
And when there is a breakdown, Hellebuyck is there to bail them out. It's frustrating to play against, but there it is. They just bide their time and wait for teams to make mistakes like the Canucks obliged in the third period.
The only way you're going to beat a team like this is to make them pay on the PP. But unfortunately the Canucks PP has gone into a funk again. Only goals tonight came from unlikely sources Juulsen and Myers.
Canucks 'big four of Miller, Pettersson, Boeser and Lindholm completely shut down.
