Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Ties hit record Thursday
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal and dished out 10 hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

Sherwood's impact and ability to apply pressure for the Canucks has been immeasurable. He's been no slouch offensively either with 29 points, which is a new career high for the 29-year-old winger. Four of Sherwood's points have come in the last four games, and it's encouraging to see him make a large impact down the stretch.
