After neither team could find the back of the net through two periods, Alex Burrows scores at the 10:39 mark in the third period to tie the game up at one. He outbattled former Canuck Shane O’Brien for the puck in front of Rinne and just put it past the goaltender. Assists on the goal come from former Predator Dan Hamhuis. Roughly two minutes later, Lee Sweatt scores in his first NHL game to give the Canucks a 2-1 lead with seven minutes left in the third period. The assists on that goal comes from Daniel Sedin.
