As the Canucks venture out on their second longest road trip of the season, a 7 game trip that sees them visit 4 different time zones in a 2 week span the Canucks need to treat this trip like a 7 game series and win a minimum of 4 games and hopefully pull off a OTL in the meantime. 8 out of 15 points would be moderately successful and help keep them on pace for a playoff spot if not 1st in the Division. The Canucks are showing they can win without their Captain and Franchise but even that excitement and adrenalin will wear off where the Canucks have to rely on Grit, Hardwork and team chemistry. Realistically 5 of these games should be winnable

Sat, Nov 29 @ Calgary 7:00 PM <=
Mon, Dec 1 @ Columbus 4:00 PM <=
Thu, Dec 4 @ Detroit 4:30 PM
Fri, Dec 5 @ Minnesota 5:00 PM
Sun, Dec 7 @ Colorado 5:00 PM <=
Tue, Dec 9 @ Nashville 5:00 PM <=
Sat, Dec 13 @ Edmonton 7:00 PM <=

As the extensive road trips start to be put behind the season 30 games of their remaining 52 games are at home with one last 6 game trip in March which may determine the playoffs.

My Prediction for this road trip

Sat, Nov 29 @ Calgary 7:00 PM (4-2 Loss)
Mon, Dec 1 @ Columbus 4:00 PM (3-1 Win)
Thu, Dec 4 @ Detroit 4:30 PM (3-2 Loss)
Fri, Dec 5 @ Minnesota 5:00 PM (3-2 OTL)
Sun, Dec 7 @ Colorado 5:00 PM (4-3 Win)
Tue, Dec 9 @ Nashville 5:00 PM (2-1 Win)
Sat, Dec 13 @ Edmonton 7:00 PM (4-3 OTL)

Ending the Road Trip with a 3-2-2 Record for 8 points.
