The Canucks' record-setting road trip, by the numbers
Home, sweet home.

Not since Jan. 27 have the Vancouver Canucks played a home game – a stretch of, frankly, too many games. The long road to ruin was anything but as the Canucks compiled an 8-5-1 record to put themselves in a position to finish first in the Northwest Division.
