The Vancouver Canucks shut down the Leafs’ top line and beat Toronto for the second game in a row, taking a 4-2 decision Saturday night. The Canucks went 2-for-2 on the power play, while the Leafs went 0-for-1. It was their 28th game, making the Canucks the first team to get halfway through their COVID-shortened 56-game season. And as they played without star Elias Pettersson for the second game in a row, they showed some snarl, hemming Toronto in its own zone for long stretches. Remembering Walter: The Canucks, Leafs and “Hockey Night in Canada” honoured Walter Gretzky as Canada’s Hockey Dad.
