Canucks own NHL's longest active win streak at 6
With the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild's historic winning streaks now over, it's the Vancouver Canucks riding the biggest wave.
Vancouver won its sixth consecutive game, and now hold a wild-card position in the Western Conference after doubling up the Calgary Flames 4-2 on Friday night.
Ryan Miller was spectacular in the win, making 44 saves, as the Canucks were responsible for just 22 percent of the total on-target shots in the contest. It was the largest shot deficit Vancouver has overcome for a win in club history, according to the team's Public Relations.
Vancouver has outshot its opponent just once during the six-game ride, edging the Arizona Coyotes by a 24-22 margin in a 3-0 victory Wednesday.
