 However, Canucks captain Trevor Linden silenced the home crowd with a short-handed goal early in the second period.Uncovered in the neutral zone because he had just come off the bench on a delayed penalty against the Rangers, Linden scored to cut the Canucks’ deficit to 2–1.Then, at the midway point of the game, Linden, who had scored only one goal in the first six games, came close to scoring again but was stopped by Mike Richter on a kick save.
