10 statistics that stand out from the first 10 Canucks games
It’s still early in the 2026-27 Vancouver Canucks season and early, too, in the organization’s stated rebuild. But 10 games give us all a limited sample size to start following emerging storylines. With that in mind, here are 10 statistics that jump out through 10 games for the Canucks. 1) Third periods were the undoing…
Could the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators hook up on an in-season forward trade?
The Vancouver Canucks and the Ottawa Senators are two Canadian franchises that have faced somewhat similar circumstances of late. For instance, both had their American captains more or less force their way into an out-of-town trade. But the results for the two teams have been very different. Last year, the Canucks tanked into a…
The Statsies: Canucks dominated at 5v5 in 4-2 loss to Lightning
A winless road trip. Losing all your road games and saving your best for home ice seems like a good rebuilding recipe. Canucks seemed to do the opposite the past two years. — Rob Williams (@RobTheHockeyGuy) October 17, 2026 The Vancouver Canucks struck early, but couldn’t manage to stem the tide for too long…
The Stanchies: Prime Lankinen returns, Canucks still go winless on road trip with 4-2 loss to Lightning
The Vancouver Canucks are already 10 games into the 2026-27 season, and it feels like it’s both breezed by and moved at a snail’s pace. A couple of weeks ago, the Canucks had two wins and two losses, a surprisingly positive start to the season as they prepared to head out on a six-game…

Canucks: D Elias Pettersson’s impressive start is more than just passing the eye test
Amid the Vancouver Canucks‘ six-game losing streak, there haven’t been many individual positives to come from it. Of course, Finnish netminder Leevi Meriläinen has kept the Canucks in games; the top line of Jake DeBrusk, Elias Pettersson, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki has carried the team’s offence, but the biggest story may be the emergence of defenceman…
What’s behind Marco Rossi’s seven-game scoring drought for the Canucks?
Over the past nine games, the Vancouver Canucks have scored just three goals at five-on-five with Marco Rossi on the ice, who has coincidentally gone seven straight games without a point in the process. He has scored every one of them. It’s a tad slow of a start for a player who recorded 22…
Canucks Game Day: Looking to close out lengthy road trip with a win vs. Lightning
The Vancouver Canucks (2-6-1) wrap up their six-game road trip this afternoon when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning (5-2) at Benchmark International Arena. Puck drop is set for 1 pm PT.

Vancouver Canucks practice in Tampa Bay; Abbotsford signs defenceman to PTO
You rarely get slow news days once the NHL season starts, but today was one of them. Today was one of those days when there wasn’t much to report from Vancouver Canucks practice. The club practiced in Tampa Bay ahead of their Saturday matinee matchup with the Lightning, but there were no updates on…
Why did Canucks fans rate Aatu Räty higher than the rest of the league?
When it comes to Aatu Räty and the Vancouver Canucks, the writing has been on the wall for a while. He received a fairly limited look in the preseason this year. Then, he was made a healthy scratch in four of the Canucks’ first eight games of the season. By the end, coach Manny Malhotra…
What the Canucks are getting in new trade acquisitions Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr
By now, you’ve heard the news. The Vancouver Canucks have dealt soon-to-be-24-year-old centre Aatu Räty to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forwards Jacob Quillan and Brandon Buhr.

The Statsies: Tom Willander leads Canucks in xGF in overtime loss to Panthers
They managed to steal a point! Referees not beating the "NHL favours the Panthers" allegations. #Canucks pic.twitter.com/WvCmnLMN8D — Daniel Wagner (@passittobulis) October 16, 2026 The Vancouver Canucks couldn’t manage to hang onto their first period lead, dropping a 3-2 loss on the road in overtime to the Florida Panthers. By no means were the Canucks…
The Stanchies: Brady Tkachuk’s natural hat trick extends Canucks losing streak to 6 in OT loss to Panthers
You learn so much about yourself when you face Stanley Cup-calibre teams like the Florida Panthers, and you learn what it takes to win. The Vancouver Canucks got a hands-on lesson from the two-time Stanley Cup Champions on Thursday, watching in terror as the Cats clawed their way out of a 2-0 hole to win…

After clearing NHL waivers earlier on Thursday, the Vancouver Canucks have found a new home for centreman Aatu Räty.

What’s behind the early struggles from Canucks’ Zeev Buium and Filip Hronek?
The Vancouver Canucks have gotten off to a difficult start to the season, and their struggles have extended to the top of their defence corps. Filip Hronek and Zeev Buium have surprisingly been among Vancouver’s least effective defencemen by the underlying numbers through the team’s first eight games. Hronek ranks fifth-worst on the team…

What does the younger Elias Pettersson’s breakout mean for the Canucks and their rebuild?
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…
Kole Lind talks signing in Abbotsford, why he’s impressed by Braeden Cootes, and more
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…
Is the Canucks’ awful penalty kill hurting their ability to play tough?
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…
How the Canucks compare to other NHL basement dwellers three weeks into the season
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…
JPat: A word on Aatu Räty’s past, present, and future as Canucks place young centre on waivers
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…
Canucks place Aatu Räty on NHL waivers
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…
