Quinn Hughes scored twice and the struggling Vancouver Canucks edged the visiting Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Saturday. Danton Heinen added a goal and J.T. Miller contributed two assists for the Canucks (20-15-10), who came into the game with losses in six of their last seven contests.

BOTTOM LINE: The Edmonton Oilers will attempt to continue a four-game win streak with a victory against the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver is 19-15-10 overall with a 6-4-2 record in Pacific Division play. The Canucks have a -15 scoring differential, with 125 total goals scored and 140 conceded.

The past four weeks have not gone well for the Vancouver Canucks, from J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson being at odds with each other to their 2-5-3 record in their previous 10 games, including a terrible performance on Jan.

THROUGH GAMES OF SATURDAY, JAN. 18, 2025

The 2025 Vancouver Canucks ’ Dice & Ice takes place on January 19, and a variety of prizes are currently up for auction. Included in these packages and bundles are gift baskets personally curated by some Canucks players. From “Boeser’s Pizza Night” to an impressive vacation put together by Jake DeBrusk, here are some of the highlights.

This game started with an unfortunate pass from JT Miller up the wall to Filip Hronek in the LA end that allowed Adrian Kempe and Alex Turcotte to move in on a 2-on-1 that ended with Turcotte getting a chance off that Thatcher Demko had no chance of stopping.

The Vancouver Canucks returned home after their 6-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. After the disappointing loss, the club was given the day off.

One of the biggest heading into this game is will the Canucks seek retribution on Tanner Jeannot? When these two teams met in November, Jeannot delivered a headshot to Brock Boeser, which resulted in a suspension for Jeannot and a concussion for Boeser.

After their most complete game of 2025, the Vancouver Canucks fell 6–1 to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. Winnipeg’s goal scorers were Kyle Connor (3), Neal Pionk, Nino Niederreiter, and Mark Scheifele.

Still, Miller’s underlying numbers at 5-on-5 are quite strong. He leads all Canucks forwards in expected goals percentage, just ahead of Garland, as well as in on-ice goals for per 60 minutes, even if he’s not the one scoring the goals most of the time.

After signing a series of cheap one-year deals with other clubs, Danton Heinen was finally rewarded with a two-year, $2.25 million AAV contract from the Canucks. Mediocre would be the best word to sum up Heinen’s tenure in Vancouver so far: He hasn’t hurt the team in any way, but he isn’t doing enough to move the needle either.
