The Avalanche have not been very good against the Canucks in recent years. The Avs have lost 15 of the last 17 meetings against the Canucks, getting outscored 64-30 in that span. In the last 11 meetings, the Avs have been shut out 3 times and scored more than 2 goals just once. It will therefore come as no surprise that the Avs' career splits against the Canucks are rather unfabulous.
Only 3 Avs have a higher career PPG rate against Vancouver than their career rate - Milan Hejduk, Steve Downie and Shane O'Brien. Hejduk is the only player with a positive +/- against the team. Ryan Wilson (12 games), Matt Hunwick (8), John Mitchell (4), P.A. Parenteau (4) and Tyson Barrie (2) have never scored against Vancouver. Semyon Varlamov has never defeated the Canucks in 6 career tries. Other than that, though, this look really good.
