Canucks’ Tyler Motte: Imitates wrecking ball
Motte #Motte
Motte scored a goal on three shots and doled out a team-high nine hits in Wednesday’s 6-5 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Motte gave the Canucks a 2-1 lead at 4:25 of the second period, but that goal had little bearing on the result of a back-and-forth contest. The 25-year-old winger also made sure the Canadiens felt his presence — his nine hits were more than double the next hardest-hitting Canuck, as Nate Schmidt threw four checks. Motte has fit in well in the bottom six this year, with two goals, 12 shots on net, eight PIM and 18 hits in five contests.
