Defending champion Hurricanes beat Canucks 6-3 to take NHL lead

Jackson Blake had three assists as Carolina’s top line combined for nine points and the Hurricanes extended Vancouver’s losing skid to eight games.

  • On Tuesday at Rogers Arena, the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-3, with Nicolas Deslauriers, Logan Stankoven, and Nikolaj Ehlers each scoring twice while Jackson Blake added three assists.
  • Despite entering with the league's worst penalty kill at 58.1 per cent, Vancouver successfully neutralized three infractions and a double minor, yet the loss extended the Canucks' eight-game losing skid.
  • Goalie Leevi Merilainen provided a bright spot with 38 saves and stopped a second-period penalty shot by Sebastian Aho, while the Canucks paid tribute to former goalie John Garrett during the contest.
  • Head coach Manny Malhotra stated, "There has to be an understanding within the room that there's no cavalry coming," emphasizing players must solve their performance issues internally.
  • On Thursday, the Canucks host the Detroit Red Wings while the Hurricanes visit the Edmonton Oilers, as both teams seek to regroup after their respective performances.
