Mercer Nets First as Jets Cruise Past Canucks 6-2 for Second Straight Win

On Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 at Canada Life Centre, improving to 6-8-3. Forward Dawson Mercer scored his first goal as a Jet and added an assist.
The Vancouver Canucks fell to 3-14-1, establishing a new franchise low for losses in the first 18 games of a season. Defensive lapses and structural breakdowns contributed to the defeat.
Jets forward Alex Iafallo and Cole Koepke scored 14 seconds apart early in the first period. Rookie Viggo Björck recorded his first career NHL point with a third-period assist on a Mark Scheifele goal.
Coming off a historic comeback win Tuesday in Montreal, the Jets capitalized on 22 giveaways by the Canucks. Goaltender Leevi Merilainen stopped 23 of 29 shots for Vancouver while Stuart Skinner made 24 saves for Winnipeg.
The Vancouver Canucks travel to Edmonton to face the Oilers on Saturday. The Winnipeg Jets host the Tampa Bay Lightning at Canada Life Centre on Sunday.
