VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Dakota Joshua scored twice and had an assist and the Vancouver Canucks stormed back for a 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Sunday night.
Trailing 2-1, the Canucks rallied with a pair of goals 12 seconds apart — by Pius Suter and Joshua — midway through the third period.
Elias Lindholm also scored and Thatcher Demko stopped 20 shots for Vancouver, which was the Pacific Division champion and hosted a playoff game for the first time since 2015.
Jason Zucker and Ryan O’Reilly scored for Nashville, and Juuse Saros made 17 saves.
