Brock Boeser scored twice and notched an assist as the Vancouver Canucks, clinging to the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, handed the league-leading Winnipeg Jets a 6-2 drubbing on Tuesday.

As the Canucks headed into Tuesday night’s game against the Jets, it seemed predestined by the numbers that the Canucks would get shut out or score, at most, two goals, likely in a 3-2 loss. The Canucks are not a team designed to score goals in bunches; the Jets are not a team designed to give up goals in bunches.

Pius Suter also scored twice, Nils Hoglander had a goal and an assist, and Quinn Hughes had two assists for the Canucks (32-25-11), who have won three of four. Kevin Lankinen made 19 saves.
