Jaroslav Halak Takes Loss Despite 39 Saves
3 years agoVancouver Canucks goaltender Jaroslav Halak was under siege, particularly in the third period on Sunday. He stopped 39 saves in all including four on the penalty kill. It was the penalty kill again where the problems started increasing. Vancouver allowed two goals in the third period -- both on the man disadvantage. There is a reason why the Canucks rank 32nd in the league on the penalty kill at 62.3%. With that, a 2-1 lead turned into a 3-2 loss as Halak went from winner to loser. Expect Thatcher Demko to start on Monday night against the Montreal Canadiens.
