The Presidents' Trophy is coming to Vancouver. Okay, not officially. But we can at least start planning the party, right? The Canucks became the first team in the NHL to cross the 100 point barrier on Monday night as they held off the Minnesota Wild for their sixth straight win.
Wild Vs. Canucks: Vancouver Passes 100 Points With 6th Straight Win
They didn't waste any time, either. Raffi Torres, Daniel Sedin and Ryan Kesler all scored in the first period for Vancouver, and after a pretty quiet second period, the Wild finally got things going with a goal at the 17:03 mark from Andrew Brunette. It was the first goal for the Wild in over two games, almost three.
After Mikko Koivu added on in the third, the Wild continued to pepper Roberto Luongo with pucks. But in the end, the Canucks were still the likely Presidents' Trophy winners that they are, and Luongo was up to the task. Kesler added an empty-net goal to seal the deal and Vancouver moved 10 points ahead of their nearest competition.
