They didn’t just need it to build some extra cushion in the standings but to turn the vibes around heading into the holiday break. You wouldn’t call the Canucks’ performance commanding by any means, but they took care of business with a 4-3 victory over the Sharks.

Cody Ceci cut it to 4-2 at 4:21 of the third period with a slap shot from the top of the right circle that hit defenseman Derek Forbort in the leg and deflected through Demko. Luke Kunin scored on a rebound with Askarov pulled for an extra attacker for the 4-3 final at 19:54.

Elias Pettersson scored two goals 44 seconds apart in the second period to snap a seven-game scoring drought and the Vancouver Canucks held on to beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3.
