- During the 1975–76 WHA season, Garrett and backup Mike Curran supported rookie Boudreau amid severe hazing by veteran teammates.
- Garrett and John Shorthouse were first paired as Canucks television broadcasters in 2008, and their friendship quickly deepened.
- Nearly two weeks before Boudreau’s 2023 dismissal, Garrett and Shorthouse met him in Pittsburgh and helped arrange his birthday celebration.
- Garrett died of a heart attack in April at 74; the Canucks were scheduled to honour him on Tuesday.
But John was one of the guys who wasn’t going to treat a rookie like they were being treated in 1975.— Bruce Boudreau, recalling Garrett's fairness to rookies during the Minnesota Fighting Saints' 1975-76 WHA season

- 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.
