It was an up and down battle at Rogers Arena as the Canucks fell behind by 2 twice, and came back both times, only to lose in overtime. The offense came from one place and one place only tonight and that was of course, Pius Suter??? Suter scored all 3 goals for the Canucks tonight, 2 of which were set up by Captain Quinn, who extends his lead atop the D scoring race in the NHL. And also yes, there was a benching in the 3rd period, but this time it was not Kuzmenko, but Nikita Zadorov. After being slow on a couple of coverages, Coach Tocchet decided to sit the big man down for the final 19 mins of the game. All things added up to a 4-3 loss to the STL Blues in overtime. The OT goal AGAIN came after a blatant missed crosscheck to Petey's back.
