Scenes from Canucks practice: Chytil leaves and will need X-rays after taking puck to face
A scary scene unfolded late in the Vancouver Canucks practice at the University of British Columbia on Wednesday.

Meet the Buyers: Which NHL teams might make a new home for Canucks’ Conor Garland
It’s entirely possible that the Vancouver Canucks have already completed their last major trade of the 2025-26 season. Not their last trade, period. Chances are still very good that UFAs like Evander Kane, Teddy Blueger, and David Kämpf are flipped by the March 9 Trade Deadline. But their returns are expected to fall somewhere…

Canucks: In the hardest year of his career, Jake DeBrusk is learning to control what he can
The NHL’s Olympic break serves different purposes, depending on who you ask. For most, it’s a chance to rest, especially with a schedule that’s been as condensed as this year’s, thanks to NHL players participating in the Winter Olympics. Obviously, that list of players doesn’t include those who travelled to Italy to compete in the…

We’ve seen and heard a lot of surprising statistics surrounding the 2025-26 Vancouver Canucks, but this one has to take the unexpected cake.

At their current pace, the Vancouver Canucks will finish the 2025-26 National Hockey League season with 60.352 points. Of course, NHL math doesn’t work that way, so the Canucks won’t wind up with a point total that includes decimal points. The league works on nice round numbers. Which begs the question: will the Canucks crack…
