On Wednesday and Thursday, they were smoked by a combined 11-3 by the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks, failing to muster more than 20 shots in each game. On Saturday, they allowed the worst team in the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks, to outshoot them 41-31, en route to a 4-3 shootout loss. This was just the second time this season that the 23-48-8 Canucks have eclipsed 40 shots in a game.
