The Vancouver Canucks are feeling the heat as they face a frustrating stretch, having lost four of their last five games, including a recent 5-4 overtime defeat to the Ottawa Senators.

Right-winger Brock Boeser expressed the team's need to secure more wins, while defenceman Quinn Hughes emphasized maintaining a positive mindset amidst the struggles. Coach Rick Tocchet pointed out that frustration often stems from a lack of preparation and highlighted the importance of focusing on improving their game.

Despite the team's challenges, Hughes continues to shine, contributing significantly to the offense with 40 points this season. However, other key players like J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson have struggled to find the net recently. The Canucks will look to turn things around in their upcoming game against the San Jose Sharks before the holiday break.
