How the Canucks missed a golden opportunity to advance in Game 5: 5 takeaways
New York TimesIt was never going to be easy. Arturs Silovs’ solid night Starting his second consecutive game in this series, and his first playoff start at home, Silovs was a story for Vancouver — particularly in the second period when the Predators pressed heavily, directing 10 shots on goal and eight scoring chances at the Canucks rookie. As does Vancouver’s decision on who to start Friday in Game 6 … Predators break the special teams stalemate Heading into Game 5, the Predators inserted Tyson Barrie into the lineup for the first time in the series and immediately promoted him to the top power-play unit. The Predators drove a 10-3 edge in five-on-five shots and a 4-1 advantage in high-danger chances in the second period, which was a solid bounce back considering the Canucks’ dominant territorial start. In a deadlocked affair, in which the Canucks landed the first punch in the first period but couldn’t make it count on the scoreboard, and the Predators answered impressively, but couldn’t break the deadlock in the second, Zadorov received the puck from Hughes on his own side of the blue line as Vancouver was changing.
