Ian Cole - Sends helper in lossCole recorded an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Getting the 26-year-old defenseman back in a groove is a big boost for the Canucks, especially if the momentum carries over into the playoffs. He's had a career year with 48 points, 144 shots on net, 95 hits, 80 blocked shots and a plus-33 rating through 77 appearances.
