Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Hot scoring start continues

Sherwood scored a goal on his only shot, blocked one shot and delivered four hits during his 23:15 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Capitals.

Due to his status as an all-situations player, Sherwood's 23:15 of ice time was the most among all Canucks forwards. So far, he's really taken advantage of that distinction, and he scored his first power-play goal, and fourth goal overall, of the season. With some injury questions up front for Vancouver following Sunday's game -- both Filip Chytil (upper body) and Jonathan Lekkerimaki (undisclosed) left early with injuries -- it's certainly possible that Sherwood will get increased opportunities in the short term to continue his hot start.
