For his second goal, Brown battled through traffic on his own end of the ice to escape with the puck down the right side of the ice. He was then able to get ahead of the two defenders chasing him. He then crossed in front of Roberto Luongo and backhanded the puck in for the shorthanded goal. Willie Mitchell was in the box for holding.
The Canucks are 0-for-3 on the power play and have allowed goals twice while with the man advantage. Luongo has made 11 saves on 13 shots.
