Canucks snap scoring drought equal to nearly 4 full games

Stop the presses. The Vancouver Canucks have scored a goal.

Nikolay Goldobin fired one home on a power play midway through the first period against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night, ending the Canucks' goal drought at 222 minutes and 57 seconds.

Vancouver was shut out in three straight games this week, against the Arizona Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings, and Anaheim Ducks, respectively.

Before Goldobin snapped the goalless skid, the Canucks' previous one came courtesy of Jussi Jokinen in the second period of a loss to the Minnesota Wild on March 9.
