Vancouver Canucks struggle to secure playoff position

espn.com

The Vancouver Canucks are struggling this season and need to win their remaining games to make the NHL playoffs. Currently, they are facing the New Jersey Devils tonight, which is an important game for their chances. The Canucks, who won the Pacific Division last year, are five points behind the St. Louis Blues for a playoff spot and have only an 11% chance of making it. The Canucks’ season has been challenging. They traded star player J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers in January, hoping to improve their performance. However, the team has not seen significant improvement and is running out of time to secure a playoff position. St. Louis has an easier schedule ahead, facing teams that are not in playoff contention. The Canucks, on the other hand, must play several playoff teams in their last eleven games. The pressure is high as the regular season ends on April 17. Vancouver's chances appear slim according to prediction models. The Canucks will need every point they can gather over the next few games to stay in the playoff race.
