Canucks Register 15 Shots, Fall 3-1 To The Blues

The Vancouver Canucks hit to 40 loss mark on the season after a 3-1 defeat against the St. Louis Blues . Filip Hronek scored the only goal, which came on a third-period power play.

As for Kevin Lankinen, he stopped 18 of the 20 shots he faced in the loss. Saturday's game was the definition of a slow start. Vancouver registered just four shots in the first and were at 10 by the end of the second period.

As for the 15 total shots, it was not the lowest of the season, but ranks tied for second with three other occasions. "They were quick up on us," said Adam Foote post-game. "And we weren't gapping up.

Like it happened in the first early. We didn't do enough to start on time. And so when you're not gapping up, when you're not pushing up ice, you get caught in between.
