Markus Granlund overtime hero as Vancouver Canucks rally past Dallas Stars 5-4
VANCOUVER — In their first game back after a tough six-game road trip, the Canucks looked like a team hoping to wipe away some bad memories.
Markus Granlund scored in overtime and Vancouver rallied to defeat the Dallas Stars 5-4 on Sunday afternoon.
The victory was only Vancouver’s second in its last 12 games. The team just returned from a 1-5 road trip that included back-to-back shut-out defeats and the loss of top-line forward Jannik Hansen to injury (rib fracture).
“It was a tough one (road trip) for us, but it’s good to be back home and this was a good win for us,” said Granlund. “Everybody in this room is sticking together and playing for each other.”
