... if anyone really has a right to hate 3-on-3 during the early season, though, it’s Canucks coach Willie Desjardins.

Armed with weapons Henrik and Daniel Sedin, the Canucks are inexplicably 0-6 in the extra session this season, the worst overtime record in the NHL. No other team has lost more than three times in OT.

Vancouver squandered a 3-0 lead on Monday night in Montreal, before David Desharnais blasted a one-timer by Jacob Markstrom for the overtime winner.

It’s only mid-November, but the Canucks are slipping. They’ve registered just four wins (4-6-5) in their last 15 games after starting 3-0-1 out of the gate.

Getting through regulation tied in five of the last 15 games has kept the Canucks in the Western Conference playoff picture.

But the six points the Canucks have already let slide in overtime could loom large in April. Just ask last year’s Kings, Bruins or Panthers: all three teams would’ve qualified for the playoffs with even marginally better overtime marks.
