The Vancouver Canucks have not been getting enough scoring from their blueline.
The Canucks top three offensive defensemen, Alexander Edler, Kevin Bieksa and Sami Salo have scored only once this season as Bieksa potted a goal in the first game of the season. The trio are in a slump and when Willie Mitchell has one more goal than the three of them combined, you know there is a problem on the Vancouver blueline. "We want to contribute and score goals," Edler said. "We know it's important to the team that we do that. I've had some chances, especially on the power play. Sometimes you just throw it on net, score with a wrist shot from the blueline. Then other times you can't score when you have great chances." Don't give up hope on all three blueliners, as they should break out very soon. Source: Vancouver Sun
