Canucks ravage Stars 1 game after Markstrom rips teammates
The Vancouver Canucks let their actions do the talking this time.
One game after goaltender Jacob Markstrom called out his teammates, the Canucks took it to the Dallas Stars, breezing to a 6-0 victory.
Winger Reid Boucher led the way with a pair of goals, while fellow forward Jake Virtanen also chipped in with a multi-point effort. Between the pipes, Markstrom turned aside 30 shots for his second perfect game of the season.
"I'm not good enough, and we got a lot of guys on our team that's not good enough either to be in this league. It's embarrassing," Markstrom said Friday following the Canucks' 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
That certainly wasn't the case Sunday, as the Canucks chased Stars starter Ben Bishop after he allowed four goals on 20 shots, while backup Kari Lehtonen let in two more in mop-up duty.
The Canucks improved to 22-28-6 on the season with the victory.
