The Blues took control with two quick goals in the second period, just 79 seconds apart, from Pia's suitor and Pavlo Bognavic. That early damage set the tone, leaving Vancouver chasing from there. Meanwhile, the Canucks struggle to generate real threats on offense. They kept the puck on the outside too much, firing perimeter shots without enough net front presence or second chances. Their lone goal came on a power play, courtesy of Philopronix shot through traffic. Fans and players alike felt the frustration after the game. The team showed more urgency in the third period, pulling within one, but it was too little too late. A late penalty led to Jordan Cairo's empty netter, sealing the loss in a building that's become tough for them lately. This drops Vancouver to three wins in their last 15 games, with home struggles standing

1:01out. They're working on defensive fixes and better habits, but those quick breakdowns keep putting them behind early. Until they play a full 60 minutes with inside grit from the start, nights like this will keep testing their resolve.
