The Florida Panthers were outclassed 5-2 by Elias Pettersson, who scored twice on the man-advantage to reach 200 career goals, and the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place.
Pettersson halted a 20-game drought when he smacked Marco Rossi’s crossing pass by Sergei Bobrovsky 3:49 after opening puck drop. Brock Boeser drew the second helper on the power-play goal, which came with Dmitry Kulikov off for hooking.
The Panthers evened it up at 11:41 when Carter Verhaeghe blocked off Petter...

The fallout from the confrontation between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson has had far-reaching consequences. It arguably began the path the Vancouver Canucks are on, with a rebuild on the horizon, despite its unpopularity with Jim Rutherford and general manager Patrik Allvin. Miller was traded to the New York Rangers for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and a 1st-round pick in Jan. 2025. Now, with Miller gone, defenseman and former Captain Quinn Hughes gone, the Canucks are i...

What is up with the Curious Case of Teddy Blueger and the Vancouver Canucks ? GM Patrik Allvin said after the trade deadline that he got 'no offers' for the veteran shutdown defensive center. But there are some, like Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, who don't believe that for a second. Blueger is a pending unrestricted free agent finishing up a very reasonable $1.8 million cap hit. He was expected to be one of the Vancouver sell-off pieces. But it didn't happen. Why? Could Teddy Blueger re...

The Vancouver Canucks made a handful of moves at the NHL trade deadline, but two names many expected to be dealt never moved: Evander Kane and Teddy Blueger . While Vancouver traded players like David Kampf and Lukas Reichel for late-round picks, the veteran forwards surprisingly remained on the roster.
The reason, according to general manager Patrik Allvin , was pretty simple and unexpected. According to The Athletic's Thomas Drance , the Canucks never received a single formal t...

The Chicago Blackhawks return to the United Center on Friday night following a four-game road trip (five if you count before the Olympic break) and host the Vancouver Canucks.
The Canucks sit dead last in the standings with an 18-36-7 record (good enough for a whopping 43 points). As the Canucks deal with the existential crisis of committing to a rebuild, a 1-7-2 record in their last 10 games has slid by, including losses in their last three games.
