Higgins with shootout beauty (Video)

Both teams definitely took it to each other and the goalies were on their game last night. The Vancouver Canucks earned a little breathing room with their shootout win over the Kings. Chris Higgins scored a sweet goal on Quick with a nice move to help the Nucks pick up the two points. The Canucks now have a 4 point cushion on the Kings and the Flames. However both teams have a game in hand. Vancouver definitely holds their own fate in their hands and a 4 point cushion is always nice. Something else that is in favor of the Canucks is their last 2 opponents. They play the two worst teams in the Western conference, Arizona and Edmonton. I think it's just a question of who will be the Canucks first round opponent. Here is the Higgins shootout goal, courtesy of the NHL: [iframe id=""]
