Anthony Gruppuso-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters / USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
After a tumultuous start to the season, Loui Eriksson is finally getting it together.
The 31-year-old collected his fifth goal of the season and third in four games Saturday, firing a shot over the blocking hand of Colorado Avalanche goaltender Calvin Pickard.
After signing a six-year, $36-million free-agent deal with the Canucks during the offseason, Eriksson went his first 13 games without a goal and just four assists.
Canucks fans can now slowly lower their pitchforks.
