TAKEAWAYS

Canucks: The team has lost four of its last five outings (1-2-2) and some of its top stars have gone cold offensively across the slump. J.T. Miller has not scored in the six games he91裸聊视频檚 played since returning from a 10-game absence, Elias Pettersson does not have a point in his last six outings and Conor Garland last recorded a goal on Nov. 29.

Senators: Merilainen stepped in for Linus Ullmark, who has been a superstar for Ottawa in recent weeks. Heading into Saturday, Ullmark had powered the team to five straight victories after backup Anton Forsberg went down with an injury during a pre-game skate on Dec. 14. The 22-year-old Merilainen was called up from the American Hockey League91裸聊视频檚 Belleville Senators on Dec. 15.

KEY MOMENT

Boeser knotted the score at 4-4 with four minutes and 50 seconds left in the game when he blasted a Pius Suter rebound in past Merilainen from the side of the net. It was the right-winger91裸聊视频檚 second goal of the game and his 10th of the season.

KEY STAT

Hughes now has 40 points on the season (eight goals, 32 assists). He is the seventh defenceman in NHL history to hit the mark in 33 or fewer games in multiple seasons, joining Paul Coffey, Bobby Orr, Denis Potvin, Brian Leetch, Randy Carlyle and Steve Duchesne.
