This now marks four straight losses for the Canucks, who are falling further and further from a playoff spot. Edler's play certainly hasn't helped, as the usually reliable Swedish defenceman has just four assists on the year.

One of his assists came on the powerplay, and the other was an impressive stretch pass that ended with a Sven Baertschi goal. He finished the night with two shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots.
