Now the challenge for him is it has to become every day.“You can see he has the talent. Now it’s about living the right way to give himself the best opportunity to perform.”The Canucks had four power-play chances, but managed only three shots on goal.“They (Devils) won the special teams battle,” said Vancouver defenseman Alexander Edler. “If you want to win hockey games, you have to put pucks on the net.
