No. 28:  Vancouver Canucks

Previous:  27th

Season Record:  12-15-2

Hey, the Canucks came out of their shell for a day and beat the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 5-1 on Thursday!  But then they lost to the Florida Panthers on Saturday, and were shut out by the Washington Capitals on Sunday.  They only have one more away game of a five-game road trip before they head home.  But they don’t fare much better on home ice either.

The Canucks are in the middle of re-building, and the Sedin twins just can’t produce like they used to.  This formula leads to a team at the bottom of the league.
