Latest news and updates about the Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks (2-6) are out to snap a five-game losing skid when they visit the Florida Panthers (3-2-2) at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, FL. Tonight’s game is scheduled to begin at 4 pm PT. The Canucks return to action following a 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. What we…
The Vancouver Canucks don’t just have one Elias Pettersson performing unexpectedly well to start the 2026-27 season. They’ve got two of them, and as exciting as the Senior Pettersson’s purported comeback has been, it’s the breakout of Junior that might be the more important happening for the Canucks in the long term. The younger…
Former Vancouver Canucks prospect Kole Lind joined West Coast Conversation on Wednesday to discuss signing with Abbotsford, reuniting with Canucks GM Ryan Johnson, and what has impressed him about playing with Braeden Cootes. Lind, who was selected 33rd overall by Vancouver in 2017, played under Johnson with the Utica Comets before the organization’s AHL affiliate moved…
The Vancouver Canucks set out this offseason to become both a tougher team and a tougher team to play against. They brought in Luke Schenn, Jamie Oleksiak, Paul Cotter, and Brendan Gallagher to help facilitate that. They emphasized sticking up for one another, carrying on a trend that began at the tail-end of the 2025-26…
The Florida Panthers (3-2-2) will play on home ice for just the second time this season when they host the road weary Vancouver Canucks (2-6-0) tonight at Amerant Bank Arena in suburban Sunrise. Florida snapped a two-game losing streak with an emphatic 7-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday that saw newcomer Akira Schmid record his first win with the team. Brady Tkachuk finally found the back of the net, notching a natural hat trick and adding an assist. Big brother Matthew...
We’ll refrain from calling it the Landon DuPont sweepstakes just yet, because Vancouver Canucks fans are still getting over the heartbreak of falling two spots in the draft lottery and losing out on drafting Gavin McKenna first overall. But there’s little disagreement that DuPont, the stud right-shot defenceman who grew up cheering for the…
The Vancouver Canucks are one NHL team that has had issues reaching contender status since their last trip to the playoffs under Rick Tocchet as a fringe candidate. Once the team dealt players like J.T. Miller back to the Rangers and Bo Horvat to the Islanders , there was a real drop-off in talent aside from Elias Pettersson. Raty was acquired in a trade for the Canucks former captain, Horvat, forward Anthony Beauvillier, and a conditional 2023 first-round pick. Raty was considered...
Former Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin once tried to spin the return in the Bo Horvat deal as essentially three first-round picks in exchange for the club’s former captain. Allvin’s premise was that the Canucks received one actual first-round selection, plus Anthony Beauvillier, who was a late first-round pick in the 2015 Draft (28th…
Not many expected the Edmonton Oilers to concede six goals to the Vancouver Canucks in their home opener on Sept. 29 — but they’ve been one of the best teams in the National Hockey League since, winning five straight games and outscoring their opponents 24-12. Connor McDavid has been at the center of it, putting […] The post Oilers’ Devon Levi drops Connor McDavid truth bomb amid scorching start appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Vancouver Canucks have placed centre Aatu Räty on NHL waivers for Wednesday, October 14th. Räty, 23, has appeared in just four of the Canucks’ eight games so far this season and has scored one goal, an empty-netter, in the Canucks’ 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames. Räty’s waiver placement isn’t entirely surprising given…
Welcome back to WWYDW, the only hockey column on the internet dedicated to constant progress.

So far on the road trip, this was the…
The Philadelphia Flyers' early-season struggles have prompted calls for a coaching change or a blockbuster trade. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Canucks are believed to be among several teams with an interest in Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary.
The Vancouver Canucks have given their fans plenty to grumble about early this season, but there are still some interesting things happening if we look beyond the standings. Sometimes, a…
Good news, everyone! The Vancouver Canucks didn’t give up five or more goals on the night, as they managed to keep things close in a 3-2 loss to Bo Horvat and the New York Islanders. Which part of you might be thinking that sounds a tad bit snarky, but honestly, it’s not meant to…
The Islanders did not make it easy on themselves, but they got what you’d consider a pretty necessary two points amid the 84-game slog of a regular season. The Vancouver Canucks came in on a tailspin and the Isles had a good first period to open a 2-0 lead that made it seem like the […]
The Islanders won a winnable game against the Vancouver Canucks 3-2. There are a lot of ties between these teams. Brayden Schenn, a key forward for the Islanders, has a brother, Luke, on the Canucks. They both have played more than 1,000 games in the National Hockey League. That is not the only tie between […]
