Slumping Vancouver Canucks winger Zack Kassian is trying to stay upbeat after going 12 games without a goal. After a red-hot start, Kassian has sunk down from the first line to the fourth and is minus-6 in his past seven games. He played a season-low 6:52 Tuesday against the Phoenix Coyotes and still was on the ice for two goals against. When things were rolling for him the first two weeks of the season, he played more than 19 minutes on three different occasions and collected his share of feel-good headlines. Now he's finding it difficult to score from the bench, or in the penalty box, but that's where Kassian has been for large stretches the past two games. "You definitely look up and say 'geez, what did I do to you?' but it's a matter of staying positive," Kassian said. "The biggest thing is obviously not letting it affect the way you play. You don't want to be on the ice when the other team is scoring goals no matter how they go in. It's not fun."
