He has tallied four times on the power play and has scored one of the team’s two short-handed goals.
Minutes later Detroit’s Joakim Andersson scored, ending the second period 2-1. Zetterberg tied the score at 3 with 1:07 left in the third period. It was Baertschi’s first goal of the season.
Vrbata gave the Canucks a 3-2 lead 5:33 into the third period when he picked up a rebound skated across the top of the crease and slid a backhand shot past Howard.
