Canucks hand Blackhawks another road loss

Blackhawks, Canucks

Conor Garland, Elias Pettersson and Pius Suter each had a goal and an assist as the host Vancouver Canucks continued their mastery over the road-weary Chicago Blackhawks with a dominant 6-2 win on Saturday night.

Quinn Hughes, Tyler Myers and Nils Aman also scored for Vancouver, which swept the three-game season series by winning their 10th straight contest over the Blackhawks. Arturs Silovs stopped 17 of 19 shots.

Alex Vlasic and Wyatt Kaiser scored goals and Ryan Donato had two assists for Chicago, which got off to another poor start in the final contest of a winless four-game road trip. Chicago has lost 10 of the last 11 games away from the United Center.

Goaltender Arvid Soderblom struggled, allowing three goals on his first nine shots and finished with nine saves on 15 shots.

Vancouver opened the scoring with two goals from a pair of defensemen just 35 seconds apart late in the first period.

Reigning Norris Trophy winner Hughes drew first blood, taking a pass on the point then skating in and threading a shot just over his left leg pad and under the glove of Soderblom with 2:14 left in the first.

Defenseman Myers made it 2-0 with a similar wrist shot that also beat Soderblom to the glove side.

Garland scored to make it 3-0 for the Canucks eight-plus minutes into the second. He beat Soderblom with backhand off the right post after working a give-and-go with Suter in the Chicago zone.

Vlasic scored for Chicago with 69 seconds left in the second to make it 3-1 as his long shot, through a screen, sailed over the left shoulder of Silovs.

Pettersson scored at 4:01 of the third to make it 4-1. His initial shot went in an out so quickly the refs missed it. Play continued until Nils Hoglander also beat Soderblom with a wrist shot. A video review showed that Pettersson had already scored before Hoglander put his in.

Kaiser scored at 5:22 of the third to pull Chicago within 4-2, but the Canucks answered with two quick goals by Aman and Suter just eight seconds apart and the rout was on.
