Brock Boeser scored the tiebreaker for one of his two third-period goals to help the visiting Vancouver Canucks snap a seven-game losing streak with Friday night's 6-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Vancouver Canucks’ work at the NHL Trade Deadline was a whole lot quieter than fans had hoped for, and General Manager Patrik Allvin attempted to answer why.
With the trade deadline behind them, the Vancouver Canucks (18-36-7) open a two-game road trip when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks (23-28-10) at United Center.
In the lore of the NHL, it's the Stanley Cup-winning teams that are remembered the most from seasons past. Yet, when looking back on the best of the best
The Vancouver Canucks have made a couple of minor moves as the 2025-26 NHL Trade Deadline comes to a close. David Kampf has been traded to the Washington Capitals for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick.
The Washington Capitals have acquired center David Kampf from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a sixth-round pick, as first reported by TSN insider Darren Dreger.
The Canucks have dealt depth forward Lukas Reichel to the Bruins for a sixth-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports. It’s Boston’s sixth-round pick in this year’s draft, the team announced.
The Vancouver Canucks have claimed forward Curtis Douglas off of waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning, reports Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. The Canucks have already shipped out a veteran forward and more, such as pending UFA Teddy Blueger, could follow.
The Vancouver Canucks have recalled centre Ty Mueller from the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks, according to a report from Rick Dhaliwal. The Canucks originally selected Mueller, who turned 23 last month, in the fourth round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
The Vancouver Canucks will face the Chicago Blackhawks later today in a game that comes with a bit of unusual timing. The NHL trade deadline passes at 12:00 p.m.
Some trades hit teams harder than others. Conor Garland moving to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a third-round pick in 2026 and a second-rounder in 2028 is one of them.
After weeks of speculation about the likelihood of a trade and the potential for a return on that trade, Conor Garland has finally been dealt by the Vancouver Canucks to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have made their first big splash of the trade deadline, as they’ve acquired winger Conor Garland from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a 2028 second-round pick and 2026 third-round pick.
The Vancouver Canucks teardown started last season when they traded JT Miller, and the final straw might happen on Friday before the trade deadline. The last time Vancouver made a playoff run in 2023-24, the top scorers were Miller, Quinn Hughes, Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Filip Hronek, and Conor Garland.
The career of Elias Pettersson so far has been a roller coaster, to say the least. In his first six seasons, he was the talk of the town in Vancouver. Now, he has quickly become the main subject of scrutiny among Vancouver Canucks fans, media, and management alike.
The Vancouver Canucks dropped a 6–4 decision Wednesday night at Rogers Arena, falling to the Carolina Hurricanes in a contest that swung wildly between promising stretches and familiar trouble.
Well, so much for uncertainty. The Vancouver Canucks have traded Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars, and with that, one of the longest-running questions surrounding this roster has been settled.
The Vancouver Canucks host the Carolina Hurricanes tonight, and, as fans know, Vancouver sits at the bottom of the NHL standings. It isn’t getting better.
The Vancouver Canucks have the worst record in the NHL this season with a 18-35-7 record with 43 points. They have played 60 games this season and have just 22 games remaining in the 2025-2026 NHL regular season.
TSN: Tyler Myers and his agent J.P. Barry remain patient to see if any other team will make an offer to the Vancouver Canucks that they are happy with, according to Pierre LeBrun.
