It’s still early in the 2026-27 Vancouver Canucks season and early, too, in the organization’s stated rebuild. But 10 games give us all a limited sample size to start following emerging storylines. With that in mind, here are 10 statistics that jump out through 10 games for the Canucks. 1) Third periods were the undoing…
The last seven games have been brutal for the Vancouver Canucks, going 0-6-1. Even with their recent 3-2 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers on Oct. 25, they are now…
The Vancouver Canucks finished up their six-game Eastern road trip on Saturday afternoon in Tampa Bay with another loss. Coming into the week, they had yet to post their first…
The Vancouver Canucks and the Ottawa Senators are two Canadian franchises that have faced somewhat similar circumstances of late. For instance, both had their American captains more or less force their way into an out-of-town trade. But the results for the two teams have been very different. Last year, the Canucks tanked into a…
A winless road trip. Losing all your road games and saving your best for home ice seems like a good rebuilding recipe. Canucks seemed to do the opposite the past two years. — Rob Williams (@RobTheHockeyGuy) October 17, 2026 The Vancouver Canucks struck early, but couldn’t manage to stem the tide for too long…
The Vancouver Canucks have a couple of problems to sort through, and Saturday’s 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning reminded everyone how difficult things have become. Elias Pettersson found…
The Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 on Saturday at Benchmark International Arena, erasing a two-goal deficit with three unanswered goals.
The Vancouver Canucks are already 10 games into the 2026-27 season, and it feels like it’s both breezed by and moved at a snail’s pace. A couple of weeks ago, the Canucks had two wins and two losses, a surprisingly positive start to the season as they prepared to head out on a six-game…
After the first twenty minutes of play, it had all of the makings of one of those games. You know, one of those games where the Tampa Bay Lightning outplay their opponents for the vast majority of the game yet somehow end up on the losing end of the goal totals when time expires. Through the first 25 minutes of action the Lightning had controlled much of the play, yet it was the Vancouver Canucks had the 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Linus Karlsson and Elias Pettersson (the forward). Undeterre...

Update (3:07 p.m. ET, Saturday): Leevi Merilainen is now the probable starting goaltender for the Vancouver Canucks against the Tampa Bay Lightning...
Perseverance and persistence are two things that are very often rewarded within the game of hockey. The Bruins have one of those stories within their midst this season as 27-year-old rookie Mikey DiPietro has won a regular backup goalie role on an NHL team for the first time in his career after stops in three different AHL destinations – and some time in the good, old ECHL for the Maine Mariners – since being drafted by the Vancouver Canucks back in the third round of the 2017 NHL Draft.
Amid the Vancouver Canucks‘ six-game losing streak, there haven’t been many individual positives to come from it. Of course, Finnish netminder Leevi Meriläinen has kept the Canucks in games; the top line of Jake DeBrusk, Elias Pettersson, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki has carried the team’s offence, but the biggest story may be the emergence of defenceman…
Over the past nine games, the Vancouver Canucks have scored just three goals at five-on-five with Marco Rossi on the ice, who has coincidentally gone seven straight games without a point in the process. He has scored every one of them. It’s a tad slow of a start for a player who recorded 22…
Tonight, the Vancouver Canucks get another crack at a win in Florida as they play the Tampa Bay Lightning. They came close against the Florida Panthers but didn’t get the…
The Vancouver Canucks (2-6-1) wrap up their six-game road trip this afternoon when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning (5-2) at Benchmark International Arena. Puck drop is set for 1 pm PT. The Canucks have dropped six straight games (0-5-1), but picked up their first point of the road trip with a 3-2 overtime…
Before Thursday’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres, the Toronto Maple Leafs made an interesting trade with the Vancouver Canucks. The […]
An hour prior to Thursday’s Toronto Maple Leafs-Buffalo Sabres game, Toronto acquired forward Aatu Räty from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for forwards Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr. Daily Faceoff Vancouver’s Tyson Cole has watched Räty closely since he was a prospect, with an intimate look from the 2022-23 season onwards. We reached out to…
The Florida Panthers (4-2-2) will finish off a brief homestand when they welcome the Seattle Kraken (5-2-1) to Amerant Bank Arena this evening.
Brady Tkachuk second consecutive hat trick rescued the Panthers from a late two-goal deficit in Thursday’s dramatic 3-2 victory over the lowly Vancouver Canucks. Tkachuk got his first at 11:11 of the final frame; he tied it up with 13 seconds remaining in regulation; and then won it 2:33 into overtime. Tkachuk became the first player to record bac...
You rarely get slow news days once the NHL season starts, but today was one of them. Today was one of those days when there wasn’t much to report from Vancouver Canucks practice. The club practiced in Tampa Bay ahead of their Saturday matinee matchup with the Lightning, but there were no updates on…
Filip Chytil is used to this returning-to-the-lineup thing. Of course, that’s both good and bad for the former New York […]
When it comes to Aatu Räty and the Vancouver Canucks, the writing has been on the wall for a while. He received a fairly limited look in the preseason this year. Then, he was made a healthy scratch in four of the Canucks’ first eight games of the season. By the end, coach Manny Malhotra…
By now, you’ve heard the news. The Vancouver Canucks have dealt soon-to-be-24-year-old centre Aatu Räty to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forwards Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr. Quillan, 24, will report to the AHL Abbotsford Canucks, while the 24-year-old North Vancouver product Buhr will start out with the Kalamazoo Wings in the…
The Vancouver Canucks have plenty of decisions to make as they try to figure out what kind of team they can grow into this season. Not every decision will turn…
