Blueger 's point drought extended to 13 games in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.

Dakota Joshua has missed the last 11 games with a lower-body injury.

Barely clinging to life in the Western Conference wildcard race, the Vancouver Canucks (20-17-10) host the Washington Capitals (33-10-5) at Rogers Arena at 7 p.

Vancouver Canucks are nowhere near as exciting, promising or entertaining as the 2023-2024 rendition of the team. Not even just by the eye test, but the numbers compared to last season don’t even resemble the same team.

Conor Garland had two goals, and J.T. Miller and Pius Suter also scored to help the Vancouver Canucks beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2.

The Vancouver Canucks are currently ranked 23rd in the NHL in goals for, with an average of 2.79 goals per game. Compare this to last season, the Canucks ranked 6th in the league with 3.40 goals for per game.

THROUGH GAMES OF MONDAY, JAN. 27, 2025

The St. Louis Blues' playoff hopes dim as a 5-2 loss to Vancouver marks their third consecutive home defeat. Falling behind in the wild card race, the team faces a pivotal stretch of challenging games.

As the Oilers add at the deadline, it would be a big mistake for the team to overlook Corey Perry's contributions.

Quinn Hughes scored two goals, while Kevin Lankinen made 32 saves on 33 shots to lead the Vancouver Canucks over the first-place Washington Capitals.

Simply put, Perry punked the Canuck. Their heads are still spinning. Yes, it was just a small and unwelcome act of domination, except that folks in Vancouver see it as a symptom of a much more troubling the disease, the Canucks falling apart in the 2024-25 season.

Garland, of all people, jabbed at Calvin Pickard when the Oilers goalie had the puck covered midway through the second period, which ignited a scrum behind the net. Perry quickly got involved. He was about to grab Canucks centre Elias Pettersson until he saw defenceman Quinn Hughes, who’d come in off his point, without a dance partner.
