The last time the Vancouver Canucks faced the Anaheim Ducks on November 26th in Southern California, Conor Garland took a pass from Brock Boeser midway through the second period, deftly stickhandled around defenceman Drew Helleson, and then deked netminder Petr Mrazek to the ice before slipping a backhand into the unguarded net.
Fresh off the heels of a 5-2 defeat at the hands of Macklin Celebrini and the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, the Vancouver Canucks took to the ice on Wednesday for a late morning practice.
The Vancouver Canucks confirmed what many had been bracing for: Thatcher Demko will undergo hip surgery and is done for the season. The announcement didn’t exactly land like a shock — he’s been out since January 10 — but there’s something different about hearing it officially.
The Vancouver Canucks got on the board first Tuesday night, but the lead disappeared almost as quickly as it arrived. Macklin Celebrini had a goal and three assists, the San Jose Sharks scored three times in a 4:04 span in the opening period, and walked away with a 5–2 victory at Rogers Arena.
Oh man. The Vancouver Canucks got absolutely pummeled last night at the hands of the San Jose Sharks, dropping a 5-2 decision. It wasn’t even close either, with the Canucks getting walked early, often, and heavily.
There's more to hockey than scoring goals and stopping pucks. For some players, putting up points came second to their main task: angering their opponents.
This game started great for the Canucks! With the two sides playing at 4-on-4 within the first minute of the game (thanks Conor Garland), Elias Pettersson and Jake DeBrusk played catch in the offensive zone before feeding young Tom Willander, who wired home his third goal of the season.
In the annals of Vancouver sports history, few figures command as much respect as the man who patrolled the crease for the Canucks during the peak of the 1990s.
What Macklin Celebrini is doing in his sophomore NHL season is downright ridiculous. After a rookie campaign in which he put up 63 points in 70 games as an 18-year-old, the North Vancouver native’s 26 goals and 48 assists through 50 games this season have him on pace to finish 2025-26 with 43 goals and 122 total points.
The Vancouver Canucks are going nowhere in the 2025-26 NHL regular season. Through 52 games played, the Canucks are just 17-30-5 for 39 points. That’s the worst record thus far in the league this season, and it is not even close.
According to a report by Iain McIntyre, later confirmed by the coach in the media scrum on Tuesday, Vancouver Canucks rookie defenseman Zeev Buium has a broken bone near his cheek after being struck by a puck on Sunday.
It’s been a hectic news day for Adam Foote and the Vancouver Canucks, and not in a fun way. Ahead of their game against the San Jose Sharks, Foote updated the assembled media on the status of Brock Boeser and Zeev Buium, neither of whom will dress against the Sharks due to injuries sustained in Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Vancouver Canucks have had one of the worst seasons in recent Canucks history, going just 17-30-5 for 39 points as of January 28th, putting them in last place in the entire league.
The San Jose Sharks visit the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night. The Sharks look a lot less like a rebuilding afterthought and more like a team that’s figured out how it wants to play.
The Vancouver Canucks continue exploring trade options for veteran winger Evander Kane as the March 6 deadline approaches. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported this week that the Canucks are willing to sweeten potential deals by retaining part of Kane's salary.
The Canucks are going through a nightmarish season both on and off the ice. The team is sitting last in the league, with star players Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood already traded and Elias Pettersson potentially on the move ahead of the trade deadline.
It appears the Vancouver Canucks‘ player auction will continue. After having already shipped off star defenseman Quinn Hughes and forward Kiefer Sherwood, the Canucks have reportedly given Evander Kane’s agent permission to find a suitable trade partner for the veteran winger, according to Rick Dhaliwal.
The Vancouver Canucks announced today that defenseman Victor Mancini and forward Jonathan Lekkerimaki have been recalled from the team’s AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Canucks.
The Vancouver Canucks are going to be without their new young defenseman and a veteran winger for some time, as the team announced Monday afternoon that they have placed Zeev Buium and Brock Boeser on injured reserve.
