Despite Elias Pettersson giving the home fans hope with the game's first goal, just over halfway through the first period, it was another gloomy night for Vancouver.

The team has won just one game in regulation this season (three wins in total), and the last time they scored was on October 28, in an overtime win against Anaheim.

“We are disappointed,” Henrik Sedin said of the team's start to the season earlier this week to nhl.com.

He and his brother Daniel share the club presidency and hope the gloomy trend will reverse.

“I think the players are learning a lot about themselves. They have to learn to go through adversity and get better every day,” Daniel Sedin said.

In tonight's game, it was mainly the second period that made the difference. In the space of eight minutes, the visitors went from 1–1 to a final score of 5–1 and had three times as many shots on goal as Vancouver.
