The Abbotsford Canucks have been eliminated from the 2024 Calder Cup Playoffs. The Vancouver Canucks AHL team fell 4-3 on Wednesday night and were swept by the Ontario Reign in their second-round series. With the season now complete, expect to see a few players to be called up by Vancouver as the Canucks add reinforcements to their roster for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Abbotsford started strong in Game 3 but really struggled in the second period. All four Reign goals were scored in the middle frame, turning a 2-0 lead into a 4-3 deficit. As for the goal scorers, it was Aatu Räty, Christian Wolanin and Marc Gatcomb, while Zach Sawchenko made 19 saves in the loss.
