Ehlers, Deslauriers Score Twice as Hurricanes Down Slumping Canucks 6-3

Logan Stankoven, Nikolaj Ehlers and Nicolas Deslauriers each scored twice as Carolina extended Vancouver’s losing streak to eight games.

  • On Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-3 at Rogers Arena, extending Vancouver's losing skid to eight games. Nicolas Deslauriers, Logan Stankoven, and Nikolaj Ehlers each scored twice for Carolina.
  • The reigning Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes capitalized on a struggling Canucks squad that entered with the league's worst penalty kill at 58.1 per cent. Carolina extended their win streak against Vancouver to six straight dating back to October 2024.
  • Goaltender Leevi Merilainen recorded 26 saves and stopped a penalty shot by Sebastian Aho, providing a bright spot for Vancouver. Head coach Manny Malhotra noted that "40 is not good enough" in the league, urging his team to "stay with the process."
  • Forward Max Sasson, who scored one of Vancouver's three goals, remarked "it's getting really old" as the team's winless streak reached eight games. The loss intensifies pressure on the roster to find solutions.
  • Both teams return to action Thursday, as the Canucks host the Detroit Red Wings while the Hurricanes visit the Edmonton Oilers. Vancouver faces mounting pressure to break their winless streak before the season slips further away.
