What’s behind ex-Canuck Conor Garland’s struggles in Columbus?
Fans are starting to notice that the first season of Conor Garland’s six-year, $36 million contract hasn’t gotten off to the best start for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Garland’s contract was signed as an extension with the Vancouver Canucks in the 2025 offseason, but after the 2025-26 season became the disaster that it was…

3 ways the Canucks can get more out of their power play
The Vancouver Canucks are 11 games into the 2026-27 NHL regular season, and fans and analysts alike have been divided over their special teams. On the penalty kill, the club ranks last in the league, rocking a 63.9% success rate, but has seen some improvement as of late, killing 10 of their last 11 penalties,…
WDYTT: How do you want to see the Canucks handle their goaltending moving forward?
Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet that you need to mind. Speaking of minding the net, the Vancouver Canucks have got some very interesting results from their netminding thus far in the 2026-27 season. Kevin Lankinen’s performance has been, to put it plainly, not good. He has, as of…
‘Gotta game it out’: Schenn and Buium talk Canucks’ third period struggles amid 8-game losing skid
It’s easy to say the Vancouver Canucks haven’t played well, given the schedule and eight straight losses. But that doesn’t tell the whole story. Over their last five losses, the Canucks have actually done an admirable job of staying in these games through the first 40 minutes. It’s the final 20 where the Canucks just…
‘Hesitant with everything’: Canucks’ Buium talks early season struggles; says confidence ‘growing’
After signing an eight-year, $75.04 million extension in early September, Vancouver Canucks defenceman Zeev Buium has had a slow start. Through 11 games this season, the nifty defenceman has just two assists and eight shots on goal in 20:38 minutes of average ice time. He began the season on the top pairing with Filip…
Scenes from practice: Rossi returns and Canucks shake up forward lines in effort to snap 8-game losing streak
Mired in an eight-game winless skid and in search of answers, the Vancouver Canucks showed a number of new looks at practice on Wednesday morning at Rogers Arena. One of the biggest changes was the return of Marco Rossi, who has missed the past two games due to illness. What we saw #Canucks new looks…
Canucks and their fans hit a home run honouring John Garrett on Cheech night
It was an emotional night at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night as the Vancouver Canucks honoured the life and legacy of former player and broadcaster John Garrett, lovingly known as “Cheech.” Garrett’s exit from the Canucks’ regional broadcast booth in April 2023 was no doubt a sad moment in the franchise’s history, but nothing compares…
What are the Canucks’ expiring UFAs worth in a trade now, and where might they be by the deadline?
We’re still not quite a month into the 2026-27 NHL season, and so it might seem a little too early to be talking about the Vancouver Canucks selling off players. That said, the Canucks have also lost their last eight games in a row and have now sunk down to the lowest points percentage in…
‘Same story again’: Canucks’ Pettersson and Sasson express frustration after losing streak extends to eight
The losses are piling up for the Vancouver Canucks to begin the 2026-27 season, and it’s starting to get to the players in the locker room. With last night’s 6-3 loss to the defending Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes, the Canucks find themselves in the midst of an eight-game losing streak. It began at…
The Stanchies: Hot dogs fall from the sky as Canucks fall 6-3 to the Hurricanes
Under Adam Foote, it looked like the Canucks didn’t know how to play hockey. Under Manny Malhotra, it looks like the Canucks know how to play hockey; they just aren’t very good at it. Relatively speaking, of course. They are NHL players at the end of the day, and even in their sleep they…

‘Sucks to see him go’: Max Sasson and Linus Karlsson reflect on Aatu Räty trade
After struggling to find consistent ice time to begin the 2026-27 season, the Vancouver Canucks placed Aatu Räty on NHL waivers. The day after Räty cleared waivers, the Canucks had found him a new home, sending him to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forwards Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr. Throughout the preseason…
How do Elias Pettersson’s first 10 games of 2026-27 compare to his other 10-game starts?
Prior to this season, the Vancouver Canucks’ senior-most Elias Pettersson had been struggling for so long that it’ll take a lot more than ten good games to convince most people that he’s truly bounced back. That said, step one of that process was 10 good games, and Pettersson has indeed had 10 good games to…
‘Important to stay together’: Gallagher leaning on togetherness amid Canucks’ losing streak
As the Vancouver Canucks return home from their two-week road trip, the team finds themselves with as many wins as when they hit the road: two. That’s right, they dropped all six contests during their trip out East. Add in the loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, and the Canucks have lost seven straight…
Scenes from practice: Canucks promote Linus Karlsson to top line; Rossi absent due to illness
For the first time in almost two weeks, the Vancouver Canucks skated at Rogers Arena on Monday morning. Following the team’s six-game road trip and a day off Sunday, the Canucks were back at practice ahead of a three-game homestand. Head coach Manny Malhotra took full advantage of the rare opportunity to work his players…

Canucks: Why Elias Pettersson is benefitting from playing under Manny Malhotra
The Vancouver Canucks have eclipsed the ten-game mark in the 2026-27 season. Like all rebuilding teams, the Canucks are taking their lumps, having just completed a six-game road trip that left them winless. Despite the pain, the Canucks have had their fair share of positive stories, too. One of the bigger ones has been Elias…

JPat’s Monday Canucks Mailbag: Why is Brock Boeser playing so much on a rebuilding team?
As the old saying goes: you can’t win ‘em all. But it would have been nice to see the Vancouver Canucks find a way to come home from their gruelling early-season road trip with at least one victory in six games. As it was, the Canucks claimed a single point for their overtime loss in…
10 statistics that stand out from the first 10 Canucks games
