A MATTER OF SECONDS

Jake Virtanen's game-tying goal 22 seconds into the second period on Mar. 20/21 at Montreal was Vancouver's fastest goal to start a period (excluding overtime) since Sven Baertschi scored 20 seconds into the third period on Oct. 22/18 vs Washington. Bo Horvat quickly matched Virtanen's mark, scoring 22 seconds into the third period before Tyler Motte added another opening-minute marker 55 seconds into the third period, marking the first time in franchise history Vancouver has scored three opening-minute goals in one game. Horvat and Motte also combined for the third-fastest two goals to start a period in Canucks history.

SURPASSING SIXTY

Reaching overtime for the fourth straight game on Mar. 20/21, the Canucks marked the sixth time in franchise history that the team has required overtime in four or more consecutive games. The last time Vancouver played in four straight regular season overtime contests was the 2017.18 season (Mar. 31 to Apr. 7).
