The Canucks have every reason to give Leevi Meriläinen a run of starts
We’re only two weeks into the 2026-27 Vancouver Canucks season, and a goaltending controversy is already brewing on the West Coast. It’s been a tough start to the campaign for Kevin Lankinen. Through four games, Lankinen has allowed 22 goals and posted an ugly .796 save percentage. According to Natural Stat Trick’s Goals Saved…
A look inside the Canucks early-season penalty killing struggles
Let’s be honest, the Vancouver Canucks penalty kill has been a disaster to start the season. After getting torched for three on Thursday in Carolina and at least one in each of the five games so far, the PK has allowed a league-high eight goals on 19 opportunities and, at 57.9%, sits dead last in…

The Statsies: Numbers back the eye test on Jonathan Lekkerimäki in Canucks’ loss to Hurricanes
Now that’s what a rebuilding team looks like. I understand the Canucks are rebuilding but I do worry about Lankinen and what he does to team morale when every mistake ends up in the back of their net — Brian (@brianhwc) October 9, 2026 The Vancouver Canucks got shelled last night to the tune…
The Stanchies: 3 positives, 3 negatives, rebuilding lessons, and more from Canucks’ loss to Canes
The bad news is the Canucks lost 7-2 at the hands of the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Carolina Hurricanes. The good news is there is something downright quaint about watching the Travelling Hughes Brothers Circus continuing its journey elsewhere and knowing it has no bearing on Vancouver anymore. Maintenance days? Contract extension still not…

How many roster spots might the Canucks need to open up between now and next season?
The Vancouver Canucks have barely begun the 2026-27 season, and so it might seem more than early to be talking about next year. But the nature of a rebuild means that our eyes must always be fixed at least a little bit down the road. Last week, we talked about the fact that the…
WDYTT: Do you believe Canucks’ Elias Pettersson is bouncing back, and if so, how big?
Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet built on initialisms and alliteration. Speaking of alliteration, we snuck three Bs into the title this week, but today we’re talking about an A-grade topic. It’s Elias Pettersson, the elder one, otherwise known as EP40, and we’re definitely not the only ones talking about…
Checking in on 16 former Canucks one week into 2026-27 season
With a new regime at the helm of the Vancouver Canucks, the organization had a new vision for its direction. And with that comes a lot of roster turnover, which we saw new general manager Ryan Johnson and Co. exercise. There are 16 former Canucks who have departed the team at some point over…

Prior to the start of the current 2026-27 season, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the NHL salary cap will rise to $127.5 million starting in the 2028-29 season.

‘It’s on us to prove them wrong’: Cotter embracing critics viewing Canucks as underdogs for 2026-27

Canucks: Why size and speed matter so much at centre in Manny Malhotra’s system
Manny Malhotra has made one thing increasingly clear with his deployment of the Vancouver Canucks’ centres: size and speed matter. Through the early part of the season, Elias Pettersson has unsurprisingly taken the most 5-on-5 shifts down the middle, playing 36:50 at centre, according to Natural Stat Trick. But right behind him is Paul…

Could the Canucks get involved in a Simon Edvinsson trade?
In most years, Simon Edvinsson would be the biggest name to hit the trade market in the NHL. But this is 2026, the year of the wildest offseason in league history, and so, of course, Edvinsson isn’t even the only unsigned 25-and-under RFA holdout LD with top-pairing potential on the market right now. (Hello, Alexander…

Heading into 2026-27, Jonathan Lekkerimäki had not established himself as a full-time NHLer through two seasons and 37 games with the Vancouver Canucks. But he was treated as one all the same. New GM Ryan Johnson spoke throughout the offseason about Lekkerimäki getting a real chance to run with the Canucks this year, and heading…

On Monday morning, the Calgary Flames put forward Connor Zary on waivers, along with defenceman Brayden Pachal. If both clear, the Flames will send them to their AHL affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers.
