While Lekkerimäki hasn't been in the NHL for the majority of the season, it is surprising that it took this long for Rick Tocchet to reunite the trio. Lekkerimäki, Pettersson, and DeBrusk were among the standout lines during training camp,
A Boston woman named Jan Taylor has been arrested before for harrassing DeBrusk and his girlfriend Mia Voyatzis in the past and now, by her own admission, was denied entry to Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena for the Canucks' game on January 2nd.
With the Bruins in desperate need of a shake-up, could Boston make a push for a rumored trade target like J.T. Miller or Elias Pettersson?
Elias Pettersson skated with Brock Boeser and Jake DeBrusk, and was more frequently self-matched with Quinn Hughes against the top end of the Toronto lineup. Frankly, Pettersson’s deployment patterns on Saturday more closely matched how the Canucks have utilized J.T. Miller for much of this season.
'Petey,' as his teammates call him, has been called everything from “petty” by fans to “soft” by reporters. To his biggest critics, he’s the main reason there is a reported rift with Miller and why the Canucks, who led the Pacific Division last season, are suddenly playing for their playoff lives as the second wild-card team this year.
As the Chicago Blackhawks endure another tough season, The Athletic's Mark Lazerus is calling for bold action to turn the franchise around. Lazerus' thoughts align with those of fellow analyst Scott Powers,
If Vancouver has eyes on a victory, they need a big game from J.T. Miller. The Canucks center has two goals in his last 18 games and has seen his ice time drop below 15 minutes a night. If Miller can channel his 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs form, he should have a positive impact on the game.
Whirlwind is probably the most accurate way to sum up what’s been one wild Vancouver Canucks season for all the wrong reasons.
Pettersson lacks no-trade protection this season, but his $11.6-million annual average value for the next seven years, in some ways, makes him harder to move than Miller with his $8-million cap hit. Still, Pettersson’s name has previously surfaced in recent media trade chatter.
The 2025 Vancouver Canucks ’ Dice & Ice takes place on January 19, and a variety of prizes are currently up for auction. Included in these packages and bundles are gift baskets personally curated by some Canucks players. From “Boeser’s Pizza Night” to an impressive vacation put together by Jake DeBrusk, here are some of the highlights.
Thank goodness I didn’t pay $179 to go to this game. The Vancouver Canucks outdid themselves in all the worst ways last night, losing in embarrassing 5-1 fashion to the Los Angeles Kings at home.
The Vancouver Canucks (19-14-10) are home from the road and open a three-game run at Rogers Arena tonight when they host the Los Angeles Kings (24-12-5).
