NHL Note - Vancouver Canucks Gagner, Sam

Dec 29, 2017 - 8:14 AM C Sam Gagner scored two goals and provided a helper.

Gagner extended his point streak to four games after producing points in only five of the previous 15 contests.

"It's nice to be on the scoresheet and contributing in a win," Gagner said. "(It was) a good feeling for our group."

Gagner opened the scoring at 7:03 of the first period as he deflected in Nikolay Goldobin's wrist shot from near the blue line. The goal came three seconds after Chicago's Gustav Forsling came out of the penalty box.

Gagner had an eight-point night against the Blackhawks in 2012 while playing for the Edmonton Oilers.
