Reflecting on the team's performance, Tocchet commented that it ranks among the most impressive comebacks he's witnessed. He shared that his son texted after the game, highlighting that the team resembled last year's squad in the third period.

"Yeah, I mean, that one, it's gotta be one up there. I mean, I've, I've seen, I've seen it. My son texts me, look, you look like last year's team in the third. So he gave me a little shot my son, but yeah, it was nice to see the fight and the guys come back. Sounded like a compliment," Tocchet said post-game.

With the victory, the Vancouver Canucks became the first team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal deficit in the final minute of regulation time.

The Canucks improved their record to 36-29-13, sitting six points behind the No. 2 Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference Wild Card standings. They'll be up against the Colorado Avalanche next on Thursday.
