STREAK-KING

Miller extended the NHL's longest active point streak to 13 games (8-19-27) becoming the seventh player in Canucks history to record a point streak of 13 or more games and first since Ryan Kesler extended his stretch to 13 games over 12 years ago (6-9-15 in 13 GP from Feb. 6 - March 14, 2010).
Miller now ties Stan Smyl, Pavel Bure, and Ryan Kesler on Tuesday vs NJD for the third-longest point streak (13 games) in club history.
Previously during this streak, Miller became the second player in 2021-22 to record multiple point streaks of at least nine games, joining Auston Matthews (10 GP &9 GP) and is also the only player in the NHL to record three separate point streaks of 8+ games this season.
• Feb. 6-Mar. 13, 8-16-24, 12 GP
• Dec. 6-Jan. 1, 3-10-13, 9 GP

BO KNOWS GOALS
Potting consecutive goals on Mar. 11 vs WSH, Bo Horvat recorded his fifth career 20-goal season and his fifth in the last six seasons, becoming just the 13th player in franchise history to do so. He now has sole possession of third-most 20-goal seasons among primary centres in Canucks history (Gradin [7], Kesler [6])
QUINNTASTIC
Quinn Hughes (1-2-3) recorded his 11th career three-point outing on Mar. 11 vs WSH, tying Dennis Kearns for the third-most in Canucks history by a defenseman, behind Jyrki Lumme (16) and Alexander Edler (12).
On Mar. 5 at TOR, Hughes also joined Pavel Bure as the only player to get two career 40+ assist seasons with the Canucks by age 23 or younger.
ICE, ICE BABY
Logging 27:56 in TOI on Mar. 13 vs TBL, Quinn Hughes led the Canucks in ice time for the 11th straight game (39 total) and also led all skaters on both teams in seven straight contests. His 25:09 in TOI/GP this season is the highest by a Canuck since Mattias Ohlund logged 25:40 per game in 2005-06.
POWER PLAY PETEY
Netting the GWG on the power play on Mar. 9 vs MTL, Elias Pettersson tied Dennis Ververgaert for fifth-most PPG (29) by a Canucks player before age 24 (Tanti [69], Linden [59], Bure [47], Blight [33]).
FOUR POINT FRENZY
Collecting four-points (1-3-4) on Mar. 9 vs MTL, J.T. Miller became the first Canucks player with three four-point games in a season since Markus Naslund in 2003-04.
