Make it five straight wins for the blazing hot Abbotsford Canucks.
The Canucks controlled all aspects of the game on Friday (Dec. 9) and recorded a dominant 7-0 win over the Manitoba Moose at the Abbotsford Centre.
The offence continues to flow for the Canucks, as in those five games they have scored 30 goals.
It didn’t take long for Abbotsford to light the lamp on Friday, as Lane Pederson scored just 89 seconds into the game and then beat Moose goalie Oskari Salminen at 5:33 of the first. Pederson is now third in the American Hockey League in goals with 14 after his pair of goals.
