Injuries and Penalties cost Canucks

Denver, CO

In can only be described as ugly. Already shorthanded with three of the six starting dmen missing the Canucks decided to play even more shorthanded specifically 11 times.

Randy Robitaille scored both goals for the Avalanche while newly acquired Jere Lehtinen replied for the Canucks in a losing 2-1 effort.

Vesa Toskala was huge making many great saves while SH. He robbed Alex Ovechkin a couple times on rockets from the circle.

Chris Phillips and Scott Thornton lead the penalty parade each taking 3 minor penalties.

Star # 1 Randy Robitaille
