Canucks down Maple Leafs 3-0 [Video]

Kevin Lankinen made 20 saves for his fourth shutout of the season as the travel-weary Vancouver Canucks picked up a gutsy 3-0 victory over the listless Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Quinn Hughes, with a goal and an assist, Brock Boeser and Kiefer Sherwood scored for Vancouver (19-13-10). Tyler Myers had two assists. Lankinen’s shutout was the seventh of his NHL career.

The Canucks didn’t arrive in Toronto until roughly seven hours before puck drop due to inclement winter weather on Friday night after falling 2-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes on the front end of a back-to-back.

Dennis Hildeby stopped 15 shots for the Leafs (27-15-2), who were coming off Thursday’s 6-3 road loss in Carolina that snapped a five-game winning streak.
