The Vancouver Canucks are advancing past the opening round after missing the playoffs the previous year for the fifth time in franchise history. They beat the Nashville Predators 1-0 in what was mostly an uneventful affair.
It wasn't until Pius Suter finally broke the ice with just 1:39 remaining in regulation to send the Canucks to the second round.
The final 30 seconds of the game was wild, with the Canucks having to fend off a Nashville power play and being down 6-on-4 with the goalie pulled.
The Canucks will now face off against the Edmonton Oilers in a match that will guarantee at least one Canadian team makes the Conference Finals.
