A coin flip.
That’s the term that Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet used to describe Monday night’s 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Rogers Arena.
The two teams exchanged first period goals with L.A.’s Kevin Fiala opening the scoring and Sam Lafferty responding for the Canucks. Blake Lizotte and Anze Kopitar scored late in the second period to give the Kings a 3-1 lead after two periods and they were stifling the Canucks for the first 10 minutes of the third, only allowing one shot during that time.
