That wasn't how the Vancouver Canucks pictured their Saturday night going.

Falling 4-2 to the Florida Panthers, Canucks forward Daniel Sedin was quick to the point to the team's ineffective man advantage as a key reason for the loss.

"In the first two periods, our powerplay wasn't good enough. I think we killed all of the momentum we had 5-on-5," Sedin told reporters. "We get out on the powerplay and nothing happens. We have to be better than that."

The Canucks' powerplay went 0-for-4 on the evening, including three consecutive missed opportunities in the middle frame.

At 14.6 percent, the Canucks powerplay unit ranks 25th league-wide.

"It's not about scoring goals, but getting shots and getting momentum for our team," Sedin added. "We lost on every powerplay we had in the first two periods."

With the loss, the Canucks dropped to 12-14-2 through 28 games and sit in sixth place in the Pacific.
