The Canucks stole Game 3 by a 2-1 final score Friday. The win was largely due to going 2-for-3 on the power play. G Casey DeSmith was awesome in place of Thatcher Demko (knee), who is out for the series. The former Penguin stopped 29 of 30 shots he saw. C J.T. Miller had a goal and an assist, and LD Quinn Hughes assisted on both goals.
The Preds couldn’t get anything going as they went 0-for-5 on the power play and gave up both goals on the PK. They outshot Vancouver 30-12 in the game. RW Luke Evangelista foiled the shutout with just over 3 minutes to go in the game, but they couldn’t sink the equalizer.
