The energy forward was part of last year’s Nashville Predators team, which turned their season around. On February 15, they sat 22nd in the league standings, five points out of the last playoff spot. The poor play caused their team trip to see U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas to be cancelled, which proved to be a catalyst for the better.

The goal was Sherwood's first since the holiday break -- he has just two points over his last eight contests. The winger has been bumped down to the third line, but he led all Vancouver forwards with 17:38 of ice time Saturday. He's now at 13 goals, 21 points, 83 shots on net 249 hits and a plus-4 rating through 42 appearances.

If the Canucks really felt they had to do something about their logjam at winger — a premise that doesn’t hold much weight today considering Phil Di Giuseppe is back in the top six — they should’ve picked another one of their promising young wingers: Nils Höglander.

The Vancouver Canucks begin a homestand on Thursday night when the Los Angeles Kings roll into Rogers Arena for a Pacific Division matchup between the two West Coast teams. Following a five-game road trip,

After signing a series of cheap one-year deals with other clubs, Danton Heinen was finally rewarded with a two-year, $2.25 million AAV contract from the Canucks.

Kevin Lankinen made 20 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and the seventh of his career, Quinn Hughes had a goal and an assist, and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-0.

If the Canucks can’t come together and get engaged mentally and physically to battle the Oilers, then there is really no hope for them.

There are five teams with a real shot to make the post-season in the Pacific Division. As it stands, the Vegas Golden Knights maintain their hold of the Pacific Division thanks to a 29-14-4 record with 62 points but the Edmonton Oilers aren’t far behind with their 29-15-3 record with 61 points.

In what Rick Tocchet called "a microcosm of our season," the Vancouver Canucks gave up a one-goal lead in the third period to the Buffalo Sabres.

On Tuesday, it's not like the Canucks were bad, or didn't try or weren't prepared. They simply failed again at pivotal moments and punted away another two points to the Sabres. It's impossible to make the case that this team earned the right to stay together.

The team led 2–1 after two periods, but couldn’t hold on to secure the win.
