The Canucks have largely failed to build on their success of 2023-24. How do the defence and goaltending grade out at the halfway point?
It's been a rough season for the Vancouver Canucks. Here is a long list of everything that has gone wrong for the team.
Myers was named to the Sabres second team, which also featured former Canucks forward Derek Roy. Traded to Vancouver in 2012, Roy played 12 games for the Canucks, recording three goals and six points. Roy also played four games for Vancouver during the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs but failed to register a point.
Welcome back to another instalment of Top Five at 15/30. Last time, we looked at the Vancouver Canucks’ top performers from December 15 to 30. This time, we’ll be looking at the best performances from players throughout the second half of December.
Kevin Lankinen made 20 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and the seventh of his career, Quinn Hughes had a goal and an assist, and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-0.
The way the Canucks played Thursday, completely unengaged and unfocussed at the start, demonstrated how hollowed out they’ve become. They’re impossible to recognize as last year’s team.
Myers has four points (one goal, three assists) in his last six games. He's not a prototypical point-getting defender -- he only has 12 in 42 games. But he also has 75 blocks and 40 hits on the season. And that puts Myers on pace to block close to 150 shots. Use him in a deep league if you need that help.
The Vancouver Canucks lost 2-1 in overtime to the Washington Capitals on Wednesday. The Canucks have one victory in their last five games, while the Capitals have won their last five.
Kyle Connor scored a natural hat trick in the first period to spark the Winnipeg Jets to a 6-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.
Elias Pettersson skated with Brock Boeser and Jake DeBrusk, and was more frequently self-matched with Quinn Hughes against the top end of the Toronto lineup. Frankly, Pettersson’s deployment patterns on Saturday more closely matched how the Canucks have utilized J.T. Miller for much of this season.
When Erik Brännström hit waivers on Sunday, some thought it might be an indicator of an impending Vancouver Canucks trade. It wasn’t, but it was a sign of even better news.
Kevin Lankinen made 20 saves to earn his fourth shutout of the season and the visiting Vancouver Canucks defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-0 on Saturday night.
