""Fright Night" could have been followed by the equally scary sequel "Fright Night 2" Tuesday at Rogers Arena. If that wasn't enough, there was also the possibility of "Fright Night 3."

However, at the end of it all, the Vancouver Canucks didn't get spooked. They didn't get mad at the prospect of possibly losing three players to injury. They got even where it mattered most.

On a night when it became clear the Canucks will need a wing and maybe a prayer after losing David Booth to a right knee injury in the first period of a wild 6-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche — and hoping linemate Chris Higgins can heal in a hurry from a foot infection — they could have been dealt two more crippling blows."
