In Jacob Markström's absence, American rookie goalkeeper Thatcher Demko played great, saving a total of 48 shots and keeping the first zero of his NHL career.

The second box was guarded by Robin Lehner who saved 19 of 22 shots and saw the Canucks put the nail in the box in an empty box when about five minutes remained of the match.

After losing 1-3 in the match series, Vancouver has now caught up to 3-3.

The status of goalkeeper Jacob Markström, who has missed two straight games, is unclear because the NHL clubs currently do not provide any information about illnesses and injuries.
