UPDATE: Kevin Bieksa's swollen eye is improving and he may play against the Stars.
--------------------------------------------------
It's a repeating record. There are still too many slumping Canucks. We all get it. 3 OT/Shootout losses in a row. Huh. It's almost comical. 7 goals scored in their last 4 games. It's also tough to get overly upset about it. They are still 3 points up on Detroit for top spot in the West and 4 points up on Dallas, who you know is going to do their damndest to inch closer on this, Thomas Gradin Ring Of Honor Night.
The Canucks look like they are running out of gas and are just trying to get to the All Star Break with their head above water.
