The injury bug continues to plague the Vancouver Canucks, but there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel for a few of the club’s injured players.
The Vancouver Canucks have not gotten off to the type of start they hoped for during training camp. Through 11 games, the Canucks are 5-6-0 and sixth place in the Pacific Division.
For much of last season, Elias Pettersson (the Vancouver Canucks forward) looked like a player searching for his own shadow. The hands, vision, and two-way awareness were still sometimes present, but I was honestly worried about his health.
The Vancouver Canucks (5-6) open a three-game Central Division road trip when they visit the St. Louis Blues (3-6-1) at Enterprise Center. The game is a 5pm PT puck drop.
It’s Halloween, which seems like the perfect time to talk about costumes. Or, as they’re referred to in hockey, jerseys. The Vancouver Canucks have, somewhat infamously, worn a lot of different jerseys in their roughly 55 years as an NHL franchise.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks have much in common these days. Both teams are losing ground in the Western Conference standings during their October struggles, and both teams are depleted by injuries.
Alright, this is admittedly getting a bit ridiculous. The Vancouver Canucks played their 11th game of the 2025-26 regular season on Tuesday against the New York Rangers, and at the same time, appeared to suffer their ninth injury to a full-time roster player as Conor Garland left the game and did not return.
Quinn Hughes will not be travelling with the Vancouver Canucks as they begin their upcoming road trip, according to a report from Patrick Johnston of the Province.
Every once in a while, a player shows up who forces a team to rethink its plans. For the Vancouver Canucks, that player right now is Kiefer Sherwood. Honestly, no one I know saw this transformation coming.
The Vancouver Canucks are facing an early-season injury crisis, with multiple key players sidelined and Conor Garland expected to miss the team’s upcoming road trip.
Not the revenge game that they drew up. The Vancouver Canucks couldn’t get much of anything going last night, losing a 2-0 game to the New York Rangers in pretty hapless fashion.
The Vancouver Canucks‘ injury woes have gone from bad to worse. According to Rick Dhaliwal of Donnie and Dhali — The Team, Conor Garland won’t travel with the Canucks for their upcoming road trip after exiting Tuesday night’s game against the New York Rangers.
The Vancouver Canucks are now 11 games into the 2025-26 season and sit one game below .500 at 5-6-0. They sit firmly in the middle of the Pacific Division, five points ahead of the last-place Calgary Flames, and five points back of the first-place Vegas Golden Knights.
When it rains, it pours for the Vancouver Canucks and their early-season injuries. Conor Garland did not join his teammates for the third period of their game against the New York Rangers.
Lukeas Reichel found himself with the first great chance of the game as Jake DeBrusk slid a beautiful pass right out in front from his backside after getting dumped behind the Rangers’ net.
Welcome back to another edition of NHL Rumours. The early season market has been interesting for many teams, including the Vancouver Canucks and their search for a centre is starting to take centre stage.
The Vancouver Canucks made a trio of roster moves on Tuesday, including most notably calling up prospect Tom Willander. Willander was selected 11th overall by Vancouver in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
Kiefer Sherwood has quickly gone from depth winger to one of the Vancouver Canucks’ most valuable players — and that success is creating a contract dilemma the team is going to have to navigate.
Kiefer Sherwood scored twice, including the overtime winner, as the Vancouver Canucks edged the visiting Edmonton Oilers 4-3 on Sunday night. Brock Boeser added a goal and an assist, and Elias Pettersson also scored for Vancouver, which snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 2-2-0 on home ice this season.
The Vancouver Canucks announced on social media that defenseman Victor Mancini would not return to their Sunday night matchup against the Edmonton Oilers, leaving the game with an undisclosed injury.
One of the best players in the game is on the shelf. Vancouver Canucks head coach Adam Foote stated that defender Quinn Hughes will not be in the lineup for the team’s matchup with the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night and is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Now and then, a team finds value not through splashy trades or headline-grabbing free agents, but through a change-of-scenery player — someone whose story needs a new chapter.
In the wake of the news that Filip Chytil may be out for some time, the Vancouver Canucks are exploring options to find another center. But, according to NHL insiders, their search may be hampered by limited trade assets and a shallow market.
