The victory is Vancouver's seventh straight which is their best victory in just over six years and makes them the hottest team in the NHL right now.

A sick Henrik Lundqvist missed the match for Rangers where Russian Aleksandr Georgijev saved 25 shots. Instead, the "lukewarm" got to see his Swedish goalkeeper in Vancouver win the goalkeeper.

It was 1-1 long before Tyler Myers set the Canucks victory with only one and a half minutes left of the match.

The trend is pointing upwards for Vancouver, which now ranks sixth in the Western Conference.

Yesterday, Gävle son Jacob Markström was selected for the NHL's Allstar match in St. Louis on January 26 after Vegas's Marc-André Fleury bid. The Swede has started 28 games this season and won half of them. He has a rescue rate of 91.7.
