NHL: (12 Thursday games with all Canadian teams in action)
Minnesota Wild 4 Vancouver Canucks 3 (OT)
The Canucks could not be faulted for their effort. But their execution, and especially the lack of it on special teams, cost them another game in which they led in the third period. As a result, they are the NHL’s lone winless team. (@imacSportsnet) https://t.co/5OHprca8cX
