- The Carolina Hurricanes defeated Vancouver 6-3, extending the Canucks’ losing streak to eight games.
- The Canucks twice erased deficits, with Max Sasson’s second-period goal restoring a 3-3 tie.
- Sasson noted that Vancouver’s penalty kill went four-for-four and its power play scored once.
- Elias Pettersson acknowledged that throwing his stick in the offensive zone to block a passing lane was a poor decision.
"Extreme," stressed Sasson. "We’re all professionals and want to win. It’s getting really old. For our group and our mental space, we need to start getting some wins. That starts with playing the right way. You get yourself into tight games and you have to figure out a way to come out on the right side."— Max Sasson, Canucks centre, after the Canucks' 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
