Comparing the Canucks’ first months of the 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons
The Vancouver Canucks' first month of the 2026-27 season is a stark drop from the same period a year earlier. After a 4-2 loss to Toronto on Oct. 31, they sit 3‑12‑1 with a .219 point percentage, 32nd in the league, versus a .500 record (6‑6‑0) and 18th place in 2025‑26. Despite playing four more games, their goals per game rise only slightly (2.94 vs 2.58) while goals against jump to 4.50 per game, creating a -25 differential.

The Statsies: Tom Willander continues to shine in Canucks’ Halloween loss to Leafs
The Canucks fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Halloween despite a dominant first period, as Vancouver surrendered 10 high‑danger chances in a disastrous second frame.

Maple Leafs’ Jim Hiller explains why he cut Gavin McKenna’s ice time during 3rd period vs. Canucks
The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 on Nov. 1, but head coach Jim Hiller sparked debate by pulling rookie Gavin McKenna after 13:01 of third‑period ice. Despite McKenna’s strong 78.7% expected‑goals rate at 5‑on‑5 and tying the rookie scoring lead with five goals and 11 points in 16 games, Hiller said the move helps the young player learn NHL habits and manage his skill set. This is the second mid‑game benching this season, following criticism after a similar decision on Oct. 15 against Buffalo. With Kirill Marchenko and John Tavares out, McKenna’s future top‑six role hangs in the balance.
Report: Maple Leafs & Canadiens Teams That Kucherov 'Would Consider'
Superstar Nikita Kucherov has reportedly placed the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens among the teams he would consider if Tampa Bay Lightning ever trades him, despite the Lightning’s firm denial they’ll move the Hart Trophy winner.

Former teammates Darren Raddysh and Nick Paul reacted with surprise, while Jeff Marek previously imagined a Kucherov‑to‑Montréal move.

Report: Maple Leafs among teams Nikita Kucherov would consider being traded to

The Vancouver Canucks host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 31, entering their 16th game of the season without forward Filip Chytil, who is sidelined after re‑aggravating a preseason injury. Coach John Hynes now leans on three players to fill the void: Marco Rossi, who has seen his ice time drop to 13:31 minutes and needs to rebound with more minutes; Jacob Quillan, the 24‑year‑old AHL call‑up who arrived in the trade for Aatu Räty and boasts five goals in five Abbotsford games; and Max Sasson, whose early season 16:37‑minute shift and point production have dwindled to under 11 minutes.

Bobrovsky off the case, praise for Cowan, and the injury bug: Leaflets
After a dominant win over the Oilers, the Toronto Maple Leafs swing back into a slump, exposing goaltending and defensive woes. The author argues that Anthony Stolarz (.907 SV%) should replace underperforming Sergei Bobrovsky (now .885 SV%) until the veteran regains form, with Elvis Merzlikins as a later option. Forward Easton Cowan earns praise for owning a loss in Calgary and emerging as a potential leader, while injuries to Tavares, Tanev, Marchenko and others threaten the team’s playoff push. Despite healthy players like Jack Roslovic and rising youngsters stepping up, the lingering blueline struggles could relegate the Leafs to a wild‑card miss if the injury bug persists.
