The Vancouver Canucks are only a few games into the season, but some interesting lineup questions are already developing. This is the part of the season when coaches are still moving pieces around, trying to figure out which players fit their system and which combinations give them what they need on a particular night.
The Vancouver Canucks appear ready to make a change on their blueline as they begin a six-game road trip in Carolina on Thursday. For the second straight day, Victor Mancini has had a regular spot in the team’s top six defencemen.
The Vancouver Canucks (0-2) play their first home preseason game tonight, hosting a young Edmonton Oilers squad (2-0) at Rogers Arena. Opening faceoff is set for 6 pm PT.
How many of the 22 players in NHL history with at least 600 career goals can you name in five minutes?
Sunday marked the end of Vancouver Canucks training camp, which saw multiple storylines emerge. It seemed there were more roster and depth-chart spots up for grabs than in recent years, but one of the most intriguing battles to follow has been on the blueline.
People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.
The career path of Victor Mancini is really a wild one. He started in the USHL before heading to the Swedish Junior ranks for his 17-year-old season in 2019-20, an unusual move for an American-born prospect.
Welcome to a new series here at CanucksArmy, where over the month of August we’ll ask a new question each day about the Vancouver Canucks. We’re calling it “31 days, 31 questions”.
There are plenty of obvious questions surrounding the Vancouver Canucks heading into this season, but sometimes the more interesting ones are hiding a little further down the roster.
The Vancouver Canucks are entering what feels like an important season. After taking a step backward, the organization is entering a transition period.
Hey, two points! The Vancouver Canucks topped the San Jose Sharks by a 4-3 shootout scoreline. It was actually a good game, with the Canucks managing to find their feet after a relatively slow start, making it a contest and an enjoyable thing to watch.
Monday night in Las Vegas comes with a bit of a twist. The Vegas Golden Knights aren’t just trying to stop a slide — they’re doing it with a brand-new voice behind the bench.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
On paper, this one looks simple. The St. Louis Blues come into Vancouver needing points badly. The Vancouver Canucks? They’re playing out the string, learning lessons, and quietly sitting in a very different kind of race.
The Vancouver Canucks are getting more work done early with one of their pending restricted free agents. Vancouver announced that they’ve signed defenseman Victor Mancini to a two-year, $2MM extension.
Right back to regularly scheduled programming. The Vancouver Canucks couldn’t string together back-to-back home wins again this season, getting drubbed by the Tampa Bay Lightning to the tune of 6-2.
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 (18-35-7) finish off a quick two-game homestand when they host the Carolina Hurricanes (38-16-6) in a 7pm start tonight at Rogers Arena. It’s the final game for both teams before Friday’s noon Pacific time National Hockey League trade deadline.
The Vancouver Canucks announced a pair of roster moves on Tuesday afternoon. General Manager Patrik Allvin announced that the club has placed defenceman PO Joseph on injured reserve following his injury on Monday night against the Seattle Kraken, and has shifted Thatcher Demko to long-term injured reserve.
The Vancouver Canucks have opened up a roster spot for the newly signed David Kämpf.
This is a familiar spot for Demko. He spent much of last season on the injured reserve.
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.
Demko’s placement on the IR will likely be made retroactive to Feb. 8. He left the Canucks’ game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after only 10 minutes due to a lower-body injury.
Vancouver Canucks fans might get their first look at a key piece of the J.T Miller trade return after the most recent roster moves announced by GM Patrik Allvin.
It did not take J.T. Miller long to start making an impact in his return to the New York Rangers.
In the risk-averse NHL, the Rangers and Canucks decided it was better to roll the dice than to accept their new normal as playoff outsiders.
The never-ending J.T. Miller saga has, in fact, ended.
The New York Rangers entered the 2024-25 season with a group of established defensemen, but trading Jacob Trouba and the struggles of Ryan Lindgren and K’Andre Miller have made rookie Victor Mancini a key player.
New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced Tuesday that the team has agreed to terms with defenseman Victor Mancini on a two-year, entry-level contract.
