After a scoreless first period, Abbotsford's Danila Klimovich scored on the power play at 11:33. Defenceman Kirill Kudryavtsev and Ty Mueller drew the helpers. Klimovich now has eight goals to lead the team. It's a huge turnaround from 2023-24 when he scored just four points.
Mueller put the Canucks up 2-0 a little over three minutes later just after another power play had expired. Nils Ã…man found Mueller wide open just below the faceoff circle to set up the goal. Kudryavtsev picked up the second assist and the rookie rearguard now has an impressive 10 points in 16 games. Mueller has also has a strong rookie campaign and has now recorded eight points.
