The entire team got slammed 5on5 in the 3rd. But possession numbers don't really relay just how dominant every Canucks line was, including this one, in the first two periods. If the Canes didn't have any pushback in the 3rd it would be incredibly concerning

And it's the Hurricanes; even strength is what they do. That's probably the most encouraging sign for them.

The power play is very much so a reason the Canucks went after Lindholm. Lindholm's entire game is what made him the number one target for the Canucks. He is legitimately a Bo Horvat replacement. Feasting on the power play was very much part of Bo Horvat's game. Also face-offs. Also the penalty kill. Also. Also. Also. The guy hits every note the Canucks wanted a rental to play.
