Max Sasson<\/a> and Drew O’Connor scored late goals for Vancouver and Thatcher Demko<\/a> made 34 saves. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Canucks and it was their first defeat since trading defenseman Quinn Hughes<\/a> to Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Grebenkin broke a scoreless tie by tipping a shot by Emil Andrae<\/a> past Demko with 6:47 remaining in the second period.<\/p>\n

Grundstrom scored for the fourth time in eight games since being recalled from Lehigh Valley in the AHL by knocking in the rebound of his own shot at 5:58 of the third period. Dvorak made it 3-0 at 7:49.<\/p>\n

Sasson ended Vladar’s shutout bid with 6:55 remaining, before Tippett restored the Flyers’ three-goal lead 2 1\/2 minutes later. Michkov’s empty-netter with 1:11 to go ended his 10-game goal-scoring drought and made it 5-1.<\/p>\n
