WRAPPING UP ON THE ROAD
As the final game of a three-game trip (1-1-0 so far) tonight's game marks the 22nd time in franchise history that the Canucks will conclude their regular season on the road (7-8-3-3 all-time) and the sixth time in the last seven years. Since the team's inception in 1970.71, Vancouver has posted a 26-16-6-3 on the final game of the regular season, home or away. In the only two season finales against the Coyotes/Jets franchise to date, the Canucks have recorded a 3-2 OTW (1990.91 vs Winnipeg Jets) and 3-1 L (2006.07 at Phoenix Coyotes).
ECLIPSING ONE HUNDRED
Collecting the primary assist on Brock Boeser's power play marker on Apr. 11 at ANA, Elias Pettersson became the sixth player in Canucks history (seventh instance) to record 100 points in a season (38-62-100) and the first since Daniel Sedin (41-63-104) in 2010.11. Pettersson added another assist later in the game to reach 101 points and enters Thursday's game at Arizona three points shy of tying Daniel Sedin and Markus Naslund (2002.03) for fifth-most points in a season by a Canucks skater (104).
<ul>
<li>Pettersson is also just the second Canuck (third instance) to register at least 95 points in a season by age 24 or younger (trailing only Pavel Bure who had 107 points in 1993.94 and 110 points in 1992.93).</li>
</ul>
THIRTY AND THRIVING
Netting his third game-winning goal of the season on Apr. 11 at ANA, J.T. Miller reached the 200-goal plateau in his career. Of his 200 career goals between Vancouver, Tampa Bay, and the New York Rangers, 105 have come in a Canucks uniform in just 282 games played (0.37 G/GP). The 30-year-old centreman is also only three points away from 300 as a Canuck and could become the second- fastest player in club history to reach the milestone behind Pavel Bure (246 GP) and ahead of Elias Pettersson (306 GP).
TWO POINTS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
With two assists (0-2-2) in a winning effort on Apr. 11 at ANA, Pettersson registered his 29th multi-point game of the 2022.23 season, ranking as the sixth-most multi-point outings by a Canucks player in a single season behind only Henrik Sedin (34 in 2009.10), Pavel Bure (32 in 1992.93 &amp; 1993.94), Daniel Sedin (32 in 2010.11), and Alexander Mogilny (30 in 1995.96).
KUZMENK-SHOW CONTINUES
Scoring the go-ahead goal on the power play on Apr. 11 at ANA, Andrei Kuzmenko regained sole possession of the team lead in goals this season (39), one up on Elias Pettersson. Kuzmenko's 39 goals are also tied for the fifth-most in an NHL player's first season since 1988.89 with Sidney Crosby (2005.06), trailing Auston Matthews (40 in 2016.17), Eric Lindros (41 in 1992.93), Alex Ovechkin (52 in 2005.06), and Teemu Selanne (76 in 1992.93).
<ul>
<li>Previously on Mar. 28 at STL, Kuzmenko became the Canucks' all-time leader for points in a season by a first year NHL player, surpassing Elias Pettersson's mark of 66 points in 2018.19, and on Mar. 23 vs SJS, he set the record for most goals (35) in a season in franchise history by a first-year player, surpassing Pavel Bure (34) in 1991.92.</li>
<li>Andrei Kuzmenko now owns an NHL-best 27.5% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0% in a season, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>

"SCORING ON THE PK" - A CANUCKS' SHORT
With his shorthanded tally on Apr. 8 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson registered the team's 15th shorthanded marker of 2022.23, second in the NHL to the Edmonton Oilers (17). This total represents the fifth-highest single-season total in franchise history, and the most in a single season since 1998.99. Pettersson and teammate J.T. Miller, who recorded the assist, each registered their ninth shorthanded points in 2022.23 to tie Pavel Bure (1992.93 &amp; 1997.98) and Russ Courtnall (1995.96) for most shorthanded points by a Canucks player in a single season.
<ul>
<li>Previously, burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.</li>
</ul>
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Following&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/cole-mcward-8484287" data-player-link="8484287">Cole McWard</a>'s NHL debut on Apr. 6 vs CHI, a total of six players have made their NHL debuts with Vancouver this season, tied for fourth-most in the League (w/ NSH, NYI, OTT) behind only Chicago (7), Columbus (7), and Toronto. The Canucks have now had 38 skaters appear in at least one game this season, matching the franchise record for most skaters dressed in a season (1987.88). McWard also became the 16th defenceman to play for the team, two more than the previous club record of 14 (1997.98, 2005.06, and 2018.19).
PETEY'S POINT STREAK
Scoring his 36th goal of the season on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 14 games (from Mar. 4 vs TOR to Mar. 31 vs CGY with 8-12-20 in those games), matching Clayton Keller (ARI) for the longest active point streak in the NHL during that time. He tied Darcy Rota (1982.83) for the third longest point streak in franchise history, only trailing Petr Nedved (1992.93) and Todd Bertuzzi (2001.02) who each had point streaks of 15 games.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson also held a road point streak of 13 games (10-11-21) from Feb 6 - Mar. 28, which was the second longest of its kind in franchise history behind Pavel Bure's 15-game road point streak (18-12-30) in 1993.94.</li>
</ul>
ANOTHER RECORD... BUT HUGHES COUNTING?
Recording two goals and adding an assist on Mar. 28 at STL, Quinn Hughes (7-65-72 in 70 GP) became the fifth NHL defenceman in the last 30 years to record a 70-point season before the age of 24. The three-point effort (2-1-3) was the 16th such occasion of Hughes' career, tying him with Jyrki Luume for the most three-point games by a Canucks blueliner in franchise history. Hughes has been on a tear all season, recently breaking the following records:
<ul>
<li>Mar. 28 at STL - Moved into seventh place for all-time points (238) by a Canucks defenceman, past Sami Salo (236). He is now just three points back of matching Kevin Bieksa's 241 points in a Canucks uniform for sixth-most by a Vancouver defenceman.</li>
<li>Mar. 26 at CHI - Notched his 69th point of the season for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22).</li>
<li>Mar. 21 vs VGK - Broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60). The contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
<li>Mar. 4 vs TOR - Became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games.</li>

<li>Three Stars Award - "Most Three Stars Selections": Elias Pettersson</li>
</ul>
NEARING THE CENTURY MARK
Scoring his 38th goal of the season Apr. 8 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson passed Todd Bertuzzi for sole possession of the eighth-most points by a Canucks skater in a single season. With 99 points (38-61-98) this season, he now sits just one point shy of becoming the sixth player (seventh instance) in team history to reach the 100-point mark and the first since Daniel Sedin (41-63-104) in 2010.11.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson is also just the second Canuck (third instance) to register at least 95 points in a season by age 24 or younger (trailing only Pavel Bure who had 107 points in 1993.94 and 110 points in 1992.93).</li>
</ul>
"SCORING ON THE PK" - A CANUCKS' SHORT
With his shorthanded tally on Apr. 8 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson registered the team's 15th shorthanded marker of 2022.23, second in the NHL to the Edmonton Oilers (17). This total represents the fifth-highest single-season total in franchise history, and the most in a single season since 1998.99. Pettersson and teammate J.T. Miller, who recorded the assist, each registered their ninth shorthanded points in 2022.23 to tie Pavel Bure (1992.93 &amp; 1997.98) and Russ Courtnall (1995.96) for most shorthanded points by a Canucks player in a single season.
<ul>
<li>Previously, burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.</li>
</ul>
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Following&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/cole-mcward-8484287" data-player-link="8484287">Cole McWard</a>'s NHL debut on Apr. 6 vs CHI, a total of six players have made their NHL debuts with Vancouver this season, tied for third-most in the League (w/ NSH, NYI, OTT, TOR) behind only Chicago (7) and Columbus (7). The Canucks have now had 38 skaters appear in at least one game this season, matching the franchise record for most skaters dressed in a season (1987.88). McWard also became the 16th defenceman to play for the team, two more than the previous club record of 14 (1997.98, 2005.06, and 2018.19).
PETEY'S POINT STREAK
Scoring his 36th goal of the season on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 14 games (from Mar. 4 vs TOR to Mar. 31 vs CGY with 8-12-20 in those games), matching Clayton Keller (ARI) for the longest active point streak in the NHL during that time. He tied Darcy Rota (1982.83) for the third longest point streak in franchise history, only trailing Petr Nedved (1992.93) and Todd Bertuzzi (2001.02) who each had point streaks of 15 games.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson also held a road point streak of 13 games (10-11-21), which was the second longest of its kind in franchise history behind Pavel Bure's 15-game road point streak (18-12-30) in 1993.94.</li>
</ul>
ANOTHER RECORD... BUT HUGHES COUNTING?
Recording two goals and adding an assist on Mar. 28 at STL, Quinn Hughes (7-65-72 in 70 GP) became the fifth NHL defenceman in the last 30 years to record a 70-point season before the age of 24. The three-point effort (2-1-3) was the 16th such occasion of Hughes' career, tying him with Jyrki Luume for the most three-point games by a Canucks blueliner in franchise history. Hughes has been on a tear all season, recently breaking the following records:
<ul>
<li>Mar. 28 at STL - Moved into seventh place for all-time points (238) by a Canucks defenceman, past Sami Salo (236). He is now just three points back of matching Kevin Bieksa's 241 points in a Canucks uniform for sixth-most by a Vancouver defenceman.</li>
<li>Mar. 26 at CHI - Notched his 69th point of the season for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22).</li>
<li>Mar. 21 vs VGK - Broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60). The contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
<li>Mar. 4 vs TOR - Became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games.</li>
</ul>
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Scoring the game-opening goal on Apr. 6 vs CHI, Andrei Kuzmenko regained sole possession of the team lead in goals this season (38), one up on Elias Pettersson (who scored his 38th on Apr. 8 vs CGY). Kuzmenko's 38 goals are also tied for the sixth-most in an NHL player's first season since 1988.89, one goal behind Sidney Crosby's 39-goal rookie campaign in 2005.06.
<ul>
<li>Previously on Mar. 28 at STL, Kuzmenko became the Canucks' all-time leader for points in a season by a first year NHL player, surpassing Elias Pettersson's mark of 66 points in 2018.19, and on Mar. 23 vs SJS, he set the record for most goals (35) in a season in franchise history by a first-year player, surpassing Pavel Bure (34) in 1991.92.</li>
<li>Andrei Kuzmenko now owns an NHL-best 27.0% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0% in a season, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>
</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and seven others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals.</li>

CANUCKS ANNOUNCE 2022.23 TEAM AWARDS
The Vancouver Canucks announced their annual Team Awards during their final home game of the regular season on April 8 at Rogers Arena. Among the seven awards announced, four were voted on by Canucks fans from April 2 to 6.
<ul>
<li>Cyclone Taylor Trophy - "Most Valuable Player" (fan vote): Elias Pettersson</li>
<li>Walter (Babe) Pratt Trophy - "Best Defenceman" (fan vote): Quinn Hughes</li>
<li>Pavel Bure Award - "Most Exciting Player" (fan vote): Andrei Kuzmenko</li>
<li>Fred J. Hume Award - "Unsung Hero" (fan vote): Dakota Joshua</li>
<li>Daniel and Henrik Sedin Award - "Community Leadership": Brock Boeser</li>
<li>Cyrus H. McLean Trophy - "Leading Scorer": Elias Pettersson</li>
<li>Three Stars Award - "Most Three Stars Selections": Elias Pettersson</li>
</ul>
NEARING THE CENTURY MARK
Scoring his 38th goal of the season Apr. 8 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson passed Todd Bertuzzi for sole possession of the eighth-most points by a Canucks skater in a single season. With 99 points (38-61-98) this season, he now sits just one point shy of becoming the sixth player (seventh instance) in team history to reach the 100-point mark and the first since Daniel Sedin (41-63-104) in 2010.11.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson is also just the second Canuck (third instance) to register at least 95 points in a season by age 24 or younger (trailing only Pavel Bure who had 107 points in 1993.94 and 110 points in 1992.93).</li>
</ul>
"SCORING ON THE PK" - A CANUCKS' SHORT
With his shorthanded tally on Apr. 8 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson registered the team's 15th shorthanded marker of 2022.23, second in the NHL to the Edmonton Oilers (17). This total represents the fifth-highest single-season total in franchise history, and the most in a single season since 1998.99. Pettersson and teammate J.T. Miller, who recorded the assist, each registered their ninth shorthanded points in 2022.23 to tie Pavel Bure (1992.93 &amp; 1997.98) and Russ Courtnall (1995.96) for most shorthanded points by a Canucks player in a single season.
<ul>
<li>Previously, burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.</li>
</ul>
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Following Cole McWard's NHL debut on Apr. 6 vs CHI, a total of six players have made their NHL debuts with Vancouver this season, tied for third-most in the League (w/ NSH, NYI, OTT) behind only Chicago (7) and Columbus (7). The Canucks have now had 38 skaters appear in at least one game this season, matching the franchise record for most skaters dressed in a season (1987.88). McWard also became the 16th defenceman to play for the team, two more than the previous club record of 14 (1997.98, 2005.06, and 2018.19).
PETEY'S POINT STREAK
Scoring his 36th goal of the season on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 14 games (from Mar. 4 vs TOR to Mar. 31 vs CGY with 8-12-20 in those games), matching Clayton Keller (ARI) for the longest active point streak in the NHL during that time. He tied Darcy Rota (1982.83) for the third longest point streak in franchise history, only trailing Petr Nedved (1992.93) and Todd Bertuzzi (2001.02) who each had point streaks of 15 games.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson currently also holds a road point streak of 13 games (10-11-21), which is the second longest of its kind in franchise history behind Pavel Bure's 15-game road point streak (18-12-30) in 1993.94.</li>
</ul>
ANOTHER RECORD... BUT HUGHES COUNTING?
Recording two goals and adding an assist on Mar. 28 at STL, Quinn Hughes (7-65-72 in 70 GP) became the fifth NHL defenceman in the last 30 years to record a 70-point season before the age of 24. The three-point effort (2-1-3) was the 16th such occasion of Hughes' career, tying him with Jyrki Luume for the most three-point games by a Canucks blueliner in franchise history. Hughes has been on a tear all season, recently breaking the following records:
<ul>
<li>Mar. 28 at STL - Moved into seventh place for all-time points (238) by a Canucks defenceman, past Sami Salo (236). He is now just three points back of matching Kevin Bieksa's 241 points in a Canucks uniform for sixth-most by a Vancouver defenceman.</li>
<li>Mar. 26 at CHI - Notched his 69th point of the season for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22).</li>
<li>Mar. 21 vs VGK - Broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60). The contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
<li>Mar. 4 vs TOR - Became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games.</li>
</ul>
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Scoring the game-opening goal on Apr. 6 vs CHI, Andrei Kuzmenko regained sole possession of the team lead in goals this season (38), one up on Elias Pettersson (who scored his 38th on Apr. 8 vs CGY). Kuzmenko's 38 goals are also tied for the sixth-most in an NHL player's first season since 1988.89, one goal behind Sidney Crosby's 39-goal rookie campaign in 2005.06.
<ul>
<li>Previously on Mar. 28 at STL, Kuzmenko became the Canucks' all-time leader for points in a season by a first year NHL player, surpassing Elias Pettersson's mark of 66 points in 2018.19, and on Mar. 23 vs SJS, he set the record for most goals (35) in a season in franchise history by a first-year player, surpassing Pavel Bure (34) in 1991.92.</li>
<li>Andrei Kuzmenko now owns an NHL-best 27.0% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0% in a season, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>
</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and seven others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals.</li>

</ul>
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Following&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/cole-mcward-8484287" data-player-link="8484287">Cole McWard</a>'s NHL debut on Apr. 6 vs CHI, a total of six players have made their NHL debuts with Vancouver this season, tied for third-most in the League (w/ NSH, NYI, OTT) behind only Chicago (7) and Columbus (7). The Canucks have now had 38 skaters appear in at least one game this season, matching the franchise record for most skaters dressed in a season (1987.88).

PETEY'S POINT STREAK
Scoring his 36th goal of the season on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 14 games (from Mar. 4 vs TOR to Mar. 31 vs CGY with 8-12-20 in those games), matching Clayton Keller (ARI) for the longest active point streak in the NHL during that time. He tied Darcy Rota (1982.83) for the third longest point streak in franchise history, only trailing Petr Nedved (1992.93) and Todd Bertuzzi (2001.02) who each had point streaks of 15 games.
<ul>

</ul>
ANOTHER RECORD... BUT HUGHES COUNTING?
Recording two goals and adding an assist on Mar. 28 at STL, Quinn Hughes (7-65-72 in 70 GP) became the fifth NHL defenceman in the last 30 years to record a 70-point season before the age of 24. The three-point effort (2-1-3) was the 16th such occasion of Hughes' career, tying him with Jyrki Luume for the most three-point games by a Canucks blueliner in franchise history. Hughes has been on a tear all season, recently breaking the following records:
<ul>
<li>Mar. 28 at STL - Moved into seventh place for all-time points (238) by a Canucks defenceman, past Sami Salo (236). He is now just three points back of matching Kevin Bieksa's 241 points in a Canucks uniform for sixth-most by a Vancouver defenceman.</li>
<li>Mar. 26 at CHI - Notched his 69th point of the season for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22).</li>
<li>Mar. 21 vs VGK - Broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60). The contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
<li>Mar. 4 vs TOR - Became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games.</li>
</ul>
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Scoring the game-opening goal on Apr. 6 vs CHI, Andrei Kuzmenko regained sole possession of the team lead in goals this season (38), one up on Elias Pettersson. Kuzmenko's 38 goals are also tied for the sixth-most in an NHL player's first season since 1988.89, one goal behind Sidney Crosby's 39-goal rookie campaign in 2005.06.
<ul>
<li>Previously on Mar. 28 at STL, Kuzmenko became the Canucks' all-time leader for points in a season by a first year NHL player, surpassing Elias Pettersson's mark of 66 points in 2018.19, and on Mar. 23 vs SJS, he set the record for most goals (35) in a season in franchise history by a first-year player, surpassing Pavel Bure (34) in 1991.92.</li>
<li>Andrei Kuzmenko now owns an NHL-best 27.0% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0% in a season, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>
</ul>
"SCORING ON THE PK" - A CANUCKS' SHORT
Opening the Canucks' scoring on Mar. 25 at DAL,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/dakota-joshua-8478057" data-player-link="8478057">Dakota Joshua</a>&nbsp;registered the team's 14th shorthanded marker of 2022.23 to previously lead the NHL this season (now second to the Edmonton Oilers with 16) and is the most by a Canucks team since 2002.03.
<ul>
<li>Previously, burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.</li>
</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and seven others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals.</li>

PETEY'S POINT STREAK
Scoring his 36th goal of the season on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 14 games (from Mar. 4 vs TOR to Mar. 31 vs CGY with 8-12-20 in those games), matching Clayton Keller (ARI) for the longest active point streak in the NHL during that time. He tied Darcy Rota (1982.83) for the third longest point streak in franchise history, only trailing Petr Nedved (1992.93) and Todd Bertuzzi (2001.02) who each had point streaks of 15 games.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson currently also holds a road point streak of 13 games (10-11-21), which is the second longest of its kind in franchise history behind Pavel Bure's 15-game road point streak (18-12-30) in 1993.94.</li>
</ul>
ANOTHER RECORD... BUT HUGHES COUNTING?
Recording two goals and adding an assist on Mar. 28 at STL, Quinn Hughes (7-65-72 in 70 GP) became the fifth NHL defenceman in the last 30 years to record a 70-point season before the age of 24. The three-point effort (2-1-3) was the 16th such occasion of Hughes' career, tying him with Jyrki Luume for the most three-point games by a Canucks blueliner in franchise history. Hughes has been on a tear all season, recently breaking the following records:
<ul>
<li>Mar. 28 at STL - Moved into seventh place for all-time points (238) by a Canucks defenceman, past Sami Salo (236). He is now just three points back of matching Kevin Bieksa's 241 points in a Canucks uniform for sixth-most by a Vancouver defenceman.</li>
<li>Mar. 26 at CHI - Notched his 69th point of the season for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22).</li>
<li>Mar. 21 vs VGK - Broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60). The contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
<li>Mar. 4 vs TOR - Became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games.</li>
</ul>
CLIMBING THE LEADERBOARD
Following his goal on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson is only one point away from tying Todd Bertuzzi for eighth-most points by a Canucks skater in a single season, after surpassing Henrik Sedin's 94-point campaign in 2010.11 for the ninth-most on Mar. 28 at STL. He now sits just four points shy of becoming the sixth player (seventh instance) in team history to reach the 100-point mark. Pettersson is also just the second Canuck (third instance) to register at least 95 points in a season by age 24 or younger (trailing only Pavel Bure who had 107 points in 1993.94 and 110 points in 1992.93).
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Burying two goals for his team-leading 36th and 37th goals of the season on Mar. 28 at STL, Andrei Kuzmenko became the Canucks' all-time leader for points in a season by a first year NHL player, surpassing Elias Pettersson's mark of 66 points in 2018.19. Previously, on Mar. 23 vs SJS, Kuzmenko scored his 35th goal of the season for the most in franchise history by a first-year player, surpassing Pavel Bure (34) in 1991.92.
<ul>
<li>Andrei Kuzmenko now owns an NHL-best 26.6% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0% in a season, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>
<li>On Mar. 31 vs CGY, Kuzmenko registered his 32nd assist in 2022.23, making him only the second Canucks skater in the last 40 years to have at as many helpers in their first NHL season (trailing Pettersson who had 38 in 2018.19).</li>
</ul>
"SCORING ON THE PK" - A CANUCKS' SHORT
Opening the Canucks' scoring on Mar. 25 at DAL, Dakota Joshua registered the team's 14th shorthanded marker of 2022.23 to previously lead the NHL this season (now second to the Edmonton Oilers with 16) and is the most by a Canucks team since 2002.03.
<ul>
<li>Previously, burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.</li>
</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and seven others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals.</li>
</ul>
RAINING THREE'S FOR BOESER
Recording three assists on Mar. 14 vs DAL, Brock Boeser reached 300 career NHL points, becoming the 10th player from the 2015 NHL Draft class to reach this milestone. Boeser's three assists set a new career high for most assists in a season with 33 (previously 30 in 2018.19) and was his fifth career three-assist game (second this season).

PETEY'S POINT STREAK
Scoring his 36th goal of the season on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 14 games (from Mar. 4 vs TOR to Mar. 31 vs CGY with 8-12-20 in those games), matching Clayton Keller (ARI) for the longest active point streak in the NHL during that time. He tied Darcy Rota (1982.83) for the third longest point streak in franchise history, only trailing Petr Nedved (1992.93) and Todd Bertuzzi (2001.02) who each had point streaks of 15 games.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson currently also holds a road point streak of 13 games (10-11-21), which is the second longest of its kind in franchise history behind Pavel Bure's 15-game road point streak (18-12-30) in 1993.94.</li>
</ul>
ANOTHER RECORD... BUT HUGHES COUNTING?
Recording two goals and adding an assist on Mar. 28 at STL, Quinn Hughes (7-65-72 in 70 GP) became the fifth NHL defenceman in the last 30 years to record a 70-point season before the age of 24. The three-point effort (2-1-3) was the 16th such occasion of Hughes' career, tying him with Jyrki Luume for the most three-point games by a Canucks blueliner in franchise history. Hughes has been on a tear all season, recently breaking the following records:
<ul>
<li>Mar. 28 at STL - Moved into seventh place for all-time points (238) by a Canucks defenceman, past Sami Salo (236). He is now just three points back of matching Kevin Bieksa's 241 points in a Canucks uniform for sixth-most by a Vancouver defenceman.</li>
<li>Mar. 26 at CHI - Notched his 69th point of the season for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22).</li>
<li>Mar. 21 vs VGK - Broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60). The contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
<li>Mar. 4 vs TOR - Became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games.</li>
</ul>
CLIMBING THE LEADERBOARD
Following his goal on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson is only one point away from tying Todd Bertuzzi for eighth-most points by a Canucks skater in a single season, after surpassing Henrik Sedin's 94-point campaign in 2010.11 for the ninth-most on Mar. 28 at STL. He now sits just four points shy of becoming the sixth player (seventh instance) in team history to reach the 100-point mark. Pettersson is also just the second Canuck (third instance) to register at least 95 points in a season by age 24 or younger (trailing only Pavel Bure who had 107 points in 1993.94 and 110 points in 1992.93).
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Burying two goals for his team-leading 36th and 37th goals of the season on Mar. 28 at STL, Andrei Kuzmenko became the Canucks' all-time leader for points in a season by a first year NHL player, surpassing Elias Pettersson's mark of 66 points in 2018.19. Previously, on Mar. 23 vs SJS, Kuzmenko scored his 35th goal of the season for the most in franchise history by a first-year player, surpassing Pavel Bure (34) in 1991.92.
<ul>
<li>Andrei Kuzmenko now owns an NHL-best 26.6% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0% in a season, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>
<li>On Mar. 31 vs CGY, Kuzmenko registered his 32nd assist in 2022.23, making him only the second Canucks skater in the last 40 years to have at as many helpers in their first NHL season (trailing Pettersson who had 38 in 2018.19).</li>
</ul>
"SCORING ON THE PK" - A CANUCKS' SHORT Opening the Canucks' scoring on Mar. 25 at DAL, Dakota Joshua registered the team's 14th shorthanded marker of 2022.23 to previously lead the NHL this season (now second to the Edmonton Oilers with 16) and is the most by a Canucks team since 2002.03.
<ul>
<li>Previously, burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.</li>
</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and seven others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals.</li>
</ul>
RAINING THREE'S FOR BOESER
Recording three assists on Mar. 14 vs DAL, Brock Boeser reached 300 career NHL points, becoming the 10th player from the 2015 NHL Draft class to reach this milestone. Boeser's three assists set a new career high for most assists in a season with 33 (previously 30 in 2018.19) and was his fifth career three-assist game (second this season).

PETEY'S POINT STREAK
Scoring his 36th goal of the season on Mar. 31 vs CGY, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 14 games (8-12-20 in those games), matching Clayton Keller (ARI) for the longest active point streak in the NHL.

</ul>
ANOTHER RECORD... BUT HUGHES COUNTING?
Recording two goals and adding an assist on Mar. 28 at STL, Quinn Hughes (7-65-72 in 70 GP) became the fifth NHL defenceman in the last 30 years to record a 70-point season before the age of 24. The three-point effort (2-1-3) was the 16th such occasion of Hughes' career, tying him with Jyrki Luume for the most three-point games by a Canucks blueliner in franchise history. Hughes has been on a tear all season, recently breaking the following records:
<ul>
<li>Mar. 28 at STL - Moved into into seventh place for all-time points (237) by a Canucks defenceman, past Sami Salo (236). He is now just four points back of matching Kevin Bieksa's 241 points in a Canucks uniform for sixth-most by a Vancouver defenceman.</li>
<li>Mar. 26 at CHI - Notched his 69th point of the season for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22).</li>
<li>Mar. 21 vs VGK - Broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60).</li>
<li>Mar. 4 vs TOR - Became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games. Tuesday's contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
</ul>
CLIMBING THE LEADERBOARD
Following his two assists on Mar. 28 at CHI, Elias Pettersson surpassed Henrik Sedin's 94-point campaign in 2010.11 for the ninth- most points by a Canucks skater in a single season. He now sits just five points shy of becoming the sixth player (seventh instance) in team history to reach the 100-point mark. Pettersson is also just the second Canuck (third instance) to register at least 95 points in a season by age 24 or younger (trailing only Pavel Bure who had 107 points in 1993.94 and 110 points in 1992.93).
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Burying two goals for his team-leading 36th and 37th goals of the season on Mar. 28 at STL, Andrei Kuzmenko became the Canucks' all-time leader for points in a season by a first year NHL player, surpassing Elias Pettersson's mark of 66 points in 2018.19. Previously, on Mar. 23 vs SJS, Kuzmenko scored his 35th goal of the season for the most in franchise history by a first-year player, surpassing Pavel Bure (34) in 1991.92.
<ul>
<li>Andrei Kuzmenko now owns an NHL-best 27.0% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0% in a season, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>
<li>On Mar. 26 at CHI, Kuzmenko registered his 30th and 31st assists in 2022.23, making him only the second Canucks skater in the last 40 years to have at as many helpers in their first NHL season (trailing Pettersson who had 38 in 2018.19).</li>

<li>Previously, burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead.

</ul>
Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and four others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals.</li>
</ul>

Recording three assists on Mar. 14 vs DAL, Brock Boeser reached 300 career NHL points, becoming the 10th player from the 2015 NHL Draft class to reach this milestone. Boeser's three assists set a new career high for most assists in a season with 33 (previously 30 in 2018.19) and was his fifth career three-assist game (second this season).

ANOTHER RECORD... BUT HUGHES COUNTING?
Recording two goals and adding an assist on Mar. 28 at STL, Quinn Hughes (7-65-72 in 70 GP) became the fifth NHL defenceman in the last 30 years to record a 70-point season before the age of 24. The three-point effort (2-1-3) was the 16th such occasion of Hughes' career, tying him with Jyrki Luume for the most three-point games by a Canucks blueliner in franchise history. Hughes has been on a tear all season, recently breaking the following records:
<ul>
<li>Mar. 28 at STL - Moved into into seventh place for all-time points (237) by a Canucks defenceman, past Sami Salo (236). He is now just four points back of matching Kevin Bieksa's 241 points in a Canucks uniform for sixth-most by a Vancouver defenceman.</li>
<li>Mar. 26 at CHI - Notched his 69th point of the season for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22).</li>
<li>Mar. 21 vs VGK - Broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60).</li>
<li>Mar. 4 vs TOR - Became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games. Tuesday's contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
</ul>
PETEY'S POINT STREAK
Nabbing two assists on Mar. 28 at STL, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 13 games (7-12-19 in those games), tying Clayton Keller (Arizona Coyotes) for the longest active point streak in the NHL. He also matched teammate J.T. Miller and former Canucks Ryan Kesler, Pavel Bure, and Stan Smyl for the fourth-longest point streak in franchise history. Pettersson is now only two games shy of tying Petr Nedved (1992.93) and Todd Bertuzzi (2001.02) for the longest point streak in Canucks history at 15 games.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson also currently holds a road point streak of 13 games (10-11-21), which is the second longest of its kind in franchise history behind Pavel Bure's 15-game road point streak (18-12-30) in 1993.94.</li>
</ul>
CLIMBING THE LEADERBOARD
Following his two assists on Mar. 28 at CHI, Elias Pettersson surpassed Henrik Sedin's 94-point campaign in 2010.11 for the ninth- most points by a Canucks skater in a single season. He now sits just five points shy of becoming the sixth player (seventh instance) in team history to reach the 100-point mark. Pettersson is also just the second Canuck (third instance) to register at least 95 points in a season by age 24 or younger (trailing only Pavel Bure who had 107 points in 1993.94 and 110 points in 1992.93).
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Burying two goals for his team-leading 36th and 37th goals of the season on Mar. 28 at STL, Andrei Kuzmenko became the Canucks' all-time leader for points in a season by a first year NHL player, surpassing Elias Pettersson's mark of 66 points in 2018.19. Previously, on Mar. 23 vs SJS, Kuzmenko scored his 35th goal of the season for the most in franchise history by a first-year player, surpassing Pavel Bure (34) in 1991.92.
<ul>
<li>Andrei Kuzmenko now owns an NHL-best 27.6% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0% in a season, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>
<li>On Mar. 26 at CHI, Kuzmenko registered his 30th and 31st assists in 2022.23, making him only the second Canucks skater in the last 40 years to have at as many helpers in their first NHL season (trailing Pettersson who had 38 in 2018.19).</li>

</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.

QUINN HUGHES IS ON FIRE
Registering one assist on Mar. 26 vs CHI, Quinn Hughes notched his 69th point of the season to break another one of his own franchise records, this time for the most points by a defenceman in a single season (previously 68 in 2021.22). Hughes' helper was also his 234th career point, ranking him tied-eighth with Ed Jovanovski for the most career points by a defenceman in franchise history.
<ul>
<li>Formerly collecting two assists on Mar. 21 vs VGK, Hughes broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (last set in 2021.22 at 60) and previously, on Mar. 4 vs TOR, became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games. Tuesday's contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).</li>
<li>Previously registering two assists on Mar. 19 at ANA, Quinn Hughes joined Paul Coffey, Bobby Orr, and Brian Leetch as the only defencemen in NHL history with multiple seasons of 60+ assists before their 24th birthday. He is also the first defenceman since Coffey and Ray Bourque in 1993.94 to post consecutive 60-assist seasons.</li>
<li>Recording his 45th career multi-assist game on Mar. 21, Hughes tied Denis Potvin for the third-most multi-assist performances in a defenceman's first 271 games, trailing only Bobby Orr (47) and Paul Reinhart (46).</li>
</ul>
ELIAS IS ELITE
Scoring two goals on Mar. 26 vs CHI, Elias Pettersson extended his career-high point streak to 12 games (7-10-17 in those games), tying Clayton Keller for the longest active point streak in the league. Pettersson's point streak also ranks him tied-eighth in Canucks history for longest point streak in a season and is only the sixth Canuck (seventh instance) since the turn of the century to record a point streak of at least 12 games or longer (Henrik Sedin in 2013.14 [12 GP], Todd Bertuzzi in 2002.03 [12 GP] &amp; 2001.02 [15 GP], Alexandre Burrows in 2009.10 [12 GP], Ryan Kesler in 2009.10 [13 GP], and J.T. Miller in 2021.22 [13 GP]).
<ul>
<li>Pettersson's two goals on Mar. 26 vs CHI now brings him to a total of 93 points this season, making him the second Canuck (third instance) to register at least 93 points by a Canucks skater 24 years of age or younger (trailing only Pavel Bure who had 107 points in 1993.94 and 110 points in 1992.93).</li>
</ul>
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Recording two assists on Mar. 26 vs CHI, Andrei Kuzmenko tallied his 66th point this season to tie Elias Pettersson's franchise record for most points in a season by a first-year NHL player (set in 2018.19). The assists were also his 30th and 31st in 2022.23, making Kuzmenko only the second Canucks skater in the last 40 years to have at least as many helpers in their first NHL season (also trailing Pettersson who had 38 in 2018.19).
<ul>
<li>Thanks to his goal on Mar. 23 vs SJS, Andrei Kuzmenko owns an NHL-best 26.7% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0%, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).</li>
<li>Kuzmenko's goal on Mar. 23 vs SJS was his 35th of the season to surpass Pavel Bure and hold the record for the most goals by a Canucks skater in their first NHL season. Previously on Mar. 14 vs DAL, he registered his 33rd goal in his 65th game to tie Ivan Boldirev for the third-most goals in a player's first 65 games as a Canuck, trailing only Pavel Bure (34) and Alexander Mogilny (52).</li>
</ul>
"SCORING ON THE PK" - A CANUCKS' SHORT
Opening the Canucks' scoring on Mar. 25 at DAL,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/dakota-joshua-8478057" data-player-link="8478057">Dakota Joshua</a>&nbsp;registered the team's 14th shorthanded marker of the season to lead in the NHL this season and is the most by a Canucks team since 2002.03.
<ul>
<li>Previously, burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.</li>
</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and four others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals.</li>
</ul>
RAINING THREE'S FOR BOESER
Recording three assists on Mar. 14 vs DAL,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/brock-boeser-8478444" data-player-link="8478444">Brock Boeser</a>&nbsp;reached 300 career NHL points, becoming the 10th player from the 2015 NHL Draft class to reach this milestone. Boeser's three assists set a new career high for most assists in a season with 33 (previously 30 in 2018.19) and was his fifth career three-assist game (second this season).
HISTORY WAITS FOR NO ONE
Scoring the opening goal on Mar. 6 vs NSH, Elias Pettersson registered his 300th career NHL point becoming the first skater from the 2017 NHL Draft Class to reach this milestone. Pettersson achieved this feat in 306 games played also making him the second fastest Canuck in franchise history to reach 300 points, trailing only Pavel Bure who was able to do it in 264 games played.

QUINN HUGHES IS ON FIRE
Collecting two assists on Mar. 21 vs VGK, Quinn Hughes broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (formerly 60 in 2021.22) and previously, on Mar. 4 vs TOR, became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games. Tuesday's contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).
<ul>
<li>Previously registering two assists on Mar. 19 at ANA, Quinn Hughes joined Paul Coffey, Bobby Orr, and Brian Leetch as the only defencemen in NHL history with multiple seasons of 60+ assists before their 24th birthday. He is also the first defenceman since Coffey and Ray Bourque in 19934.94 to post consecutive 60-assist seasons.</li>
<li>Recording his 44th career multi-assist game on Mar. 19, Hughes tied Mark Howe for the fourth-most multi-assist performances in a defenceman's first 270 games, trailing only Bobby Orr (47), Paul Reinhart (46) and Dennis Potvin (45).</li>
<li>With his two assists on Mar. 19 giving him 206 through the first 270 games of his career, Hughes now ranks third all-time for the most assists per game among defencemen in NHL history (minimum 200 assists) with 0.76, trailing Bobby Orr (0.98) and Paul Coffey (0.81).</li>
</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and four others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals. It was also the Canucks' 12th shorthanded goal on the season, which is the most by a Canucks team since 2002.03 and now ranks tied for second-most in the NHL this season.</li>
</ul>
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Thanks to his opening tally on Mar. 16 at ARI, Andrei Kuzmenko owns an NHL-best 26.8% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0%, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).
<ul>
<li>Opening the scoring on Mar. 16 at ARI, Andrei Kuzmenko notched his 34th goal of the season to match Pavel Bure for the most goals by a Canucks skater in their first NHL season. Previously on Mar. 14 vs DAL, he registered his 33rd goal in his 65th game to tie Ivan Boldirev for the third-most goals in a player's first 65 games as a Canuck, trailing only Pavel Bure (34) and Alexander Mogilny (52).</li>
</ul>
RAINING THREE'S FOR BOESER
Recording three assists on Mar. 14 vs DAL, Brock Boeser reached 300 career NHL points, becoming the 10th player from the 2015 NHL Draft class to reach this milestone.

EIGHTY FOR ELIAS
Registering two assists on Mar. 8 vs ANA, Elias Pettersson registered his 80th and 81st points on the season (30-51-81), becoming the fifth-fastest player (sixth-fastest occasion) in franchise history to collect 80 points (62 games), behind only Alexander Mogilny (54 GP), Pavel Bure (55 GP, 59 GP), Henrik Sedin (60 GP) and Daniel Sedin (61 GP).

STREAKING AGAINST THE SHARKS
Entering play tonight, Vancouver has won eight straight games against the San Jose Sharks for their longest active winning streak against on opponent, dating back to Jan. 18, 2020. During that stretch they have outscored the Sharks 39-21, tallying at least four goals in each contest. With a win tonight, the Canucks could match their franchise-best winning streak of nine games against San Jose which took place from Dec. 28, 1991 to Dec. 29, 1992.
QUINN HUGHES IS ON FIRE
Collecting two assists on Mar. 21 vs VGK, Quinn Hughes broke his own franchise record for most assists in a single season by a defenceman with 62 (formerly 60 in 2021.22) and previously, on Mar. 4 vs TOR, became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 200 career NHL assists in just 263 games. Tuesday's contest against the Golden Knights was also Hughes' 17th multi-assist game of the season to become only the second Canuck (fifth instance) in franchise history to register at least as many multi-assist performances in a single season (joining Henrik Sedin in 2006.07 [19], 2009.10 [23], 2010.11 [20], and 2011.12 [19]).
<ul>
<li>Previously registering two assists on Mar. 19 at ANA, Quinn Hughes joined Paul Coffey, Bobby Orr, and Brian Leetch as the only defencemen in NHL history with multiple seasons of 60+ assists before their 24th birthday. He is also the first defenceman since Coffey and Ray Bourque in 19934.94 to post consecutive 60-assist seasons.</li>
<li>Recording his 44th career multi-assist game on Mar. 19, Hughes tied Mark Howe for the fourth-most multi-assist performances in a defenceman's first 270 games, trailing only Bobby Orr (47), Paul Reinhart (46) and Dennis Potvin (45).</li>
<li>With his two assists on Mar. 19 giving him 206 through the first 270 games of his career, Hughes now ranks third all-time for the most assists per game among defencemen in NHL history (minimum 200 assists) with 0.76, trailing Bobby Orr (0.98) and Paul Coffey (0.81).</li>
</ul>
MILLER'S SPECIAL SAUCE
Scoring both a shorthanded penalty shot and a power play goal on Mar. 21 vs VGK, J.T. Miller registered his fourth multi-goal game of the season, which ranks third on the team. This marked the fourth time in his career (four in 2016.17, four in 2021.22, five in 2019.20) that he has recorded at least four multi-goal games in the same season.
<ul>
<li>Miller's penalty shot on Mar. 21 vs VGK was the second successful penalty shot goal of his career to become only the fourth Canuck to have multiple penalty shot goals with the team (tying Henrik Sedin and Markus Naslund, and trailing Pavel Bure [4]).</li>
<li>The shorthanded marker on Mar. 21 vs VGK was Miller's fifth of the 2022.23 season to surpass Elias Pettersson and four others to now lead the League in shorthanded goals. It was also the Canucks' 12th shorthanded goal on the season, which is the most by a Canucks team since 2002.03 and now ranks tied for second-most in the NHL this season.</li>
</ul>
CAN'T STOP KUZY
Thanks to his opening tally on Mar. 16 at ARI, Andrei Kuzmenko owns an NHL-best 26.8% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) so far this season, and currently possesses the highest shooting percentage in NHL history (min. 100 shots) since the stat started being tracked in 1959.60. He is also just the second player in the League since 1994.95 with a minimum of 100 shots to hold a shooting percentage above 25.0%, joining Mike Ribeiro (25.2% in 2007.08).
<ul>
<li>Opening the scoring on Mar. 16 at ARI, Andrei Kuzmenko notched his 34th goal of the season to match Pavel Bure for the most goals by a Canucks skater in their first NHL season. Previously on Mar. 14 vs DAL, he registered his 33rd goal in his 65th game to tie Ivan Boldirev for the third-most goals in a player's first 65 games as a Canuck, trailing only Pavel Bure (34) and Alexander Mogilny (52).</li>
</ul>
RAINING THREE'S FOR BOESER
Recording three assists on Mar. 14 vs DAL,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/brock-boeser-8478444" data-player-link="8478444">Brock Boeser</a>&nbsp;reached 300 career NHL points, becoming the 10th player from the 2015 NHL Draft class to reach this milestone. Boeser's three assists set a new career high for most assists in a season with 33 (previously 30 in 2018.19) and was his fifth career three-assist game (second this season).
EIGHTY FOR ELIAS
Registering two assists on Mar. 8 vs ANA, Elias Pettersson registered his 80th and 81st points on the season (30-51-81), becoming the fifth-fastest player (sixth-fastest occasion) in franchise history to collect 80 points (62 games), behind only Alexander Mogilny (54 GP), Pavel Bure (55 GP, 59 GP), Henrik Sedin (60 GP) and Daniel Sedin (61 GP).
HISTORY WAITS FOR NO ONE
Scoring the opening goal on Mar. 6 vs NSH, Elias Pettersson registered his 300th career NHL point becoming the first skater from the 2017 NHL Draft Class to reach this milestone. Pettersson achieved this feat in 306 games played also making him the second fastest Canuck in franchise history to reach 300 points, trailing only Pavel Bure who was able to do it in 264 games played.
DOWN A MAN, UP TWO GOALS
Burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.

Miller's fourth shorthanded marker of the 2022.23 campaign (tied Elias Pettersson and four others atop the League), on Mar. 11 vs OTT, the Canucks have now scored 11 shorthanded goals on the season, which are the most by a Canucks team since 2002.03 and now ranks tied for second-most in the NHL this season.
<ul>
<li>
Vancouver's shorthanded goal on Mar. 11 vs OTT also marked the first time since Apr. 1-9, 1998 that the Canucks have scored four or more shorthanded goals in a four-game span.

EIGHTY FOR ELIAS

HISTORY WAITS FOR NO ONE
Scoring the opening goal on Mar. 6 vs NSH, Elias Pettersson registered his 300th career NHL point becoming the first skater from the 2017 NHL Draft Class to reach this milestone.

DOWN A MAN, UP TWO GOALS
Burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.
HUGHES WRITES HISTORY
Thanks to one assist each on the power play and shorthanded on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Quinn Hughes registered his 200th career NHL assist in just his 263rd regular season game, becoming the fastest defenceman in NHL history to do so (previously Brian Leetch, 264 games). He is also the fastest player of any position in Canucks history to record 200 assists with the club (23 players total, six defencemen), smashing the previous record set by centre Cliff Ronning (333 games).
DOUBLE OR NOTHING
Collecting two assists on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Quinn Hughes registered his 17th multi-point game of the season, surpassing Doug Lidster (1986.87) and Paul Reinhart (1988.89) for the most such occurrences by a defenceman in a single season in franchise history. It also marked Hughes' 14th multi-assist game this season, tying Dennis Kearns (1976.77) for the most in one season by a defenceman in Canucks history.
Hughes is now also tied with Alexander Edler for most total multi-assist games in franchise history with 42, trailing only Dennis Kearns (53) for most all-time.

CAN'T STOP KUZY

Scoring the game-tying goal at 19:31 of the third period on Feb. 23 at STL, (just two days after he tied the game at 19:44 of the third period on Feb. 21 at NSH), Andrei Kuzmenko became the first player in Canucks history and fourth player in NHL history to score the game-tying goal in the final minute of regulation in consecutive games.

PETEY KEEPS PUTTING UP THE POINTS
Notching one goal and two assists on Feb. 23 at STL, Elias Pettersson recorded his 24th career three-plus point game, surpassing Cliff Ronning for sole possession of fourth place in franchise history for most three-plus point games among Canucks centreman (trailing Patrik Sundstrom [29], Thomas Gradin [38], and Henrik Sedin [62]).
&bull; Elias Pettersson played in his 300th career NHL game on Feb. 21 at NSH, concluding the contest with 293 career points (124-169-293).

NO QUIT CANUCKS
Despite beginning the third period on Feb. 23 at STL with a 2-0 deficit, the Canucks notched two third period goals and the overtime winner to earn their seventh multi-goal comeback win this season, trailing only Chicago (8) for the most such instances in the NHL.

DOWN A MAN, UP TWO GOALS
Burying back-to-back shorthanded goals in a span of just 44 seconds on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson (6:49, 3rd period) and J.T. Miller (7:33, 3rd period) recorded the fourth-fastest pair of shorthanded goals in Canucks history to turn a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead. It also marked the sixth time in franchise history (second time this season: also Feb. 18 vs PHI) that the Canucks have scored multiple times on the same two-minute penalty against, and the first occasion not involving an empty net since Apr. 9/98 vs CGY.
HUGHES WRITES HISTORY
Thanks to one assist each on the power play and shorthanded on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Quinn Hughes registered his 200th career NHL assist in just his 263rd regular season game, becoming the fastest defenceman in NHL history to do so (previously Brian Leetch, 264 games). He is also the fastest player of any position in Canucks history to record 200 assists with the club (23 players total, six defencemen), smashing the previous record set by centre Cliff Ronning (333 games).
KEEP IT SHORT
Thanks to his two shorthanded points (1-1-2) on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Elias Pettersson is now tied for the League-lead in shorthanded goals (4) and points (7) so far this season. His seven shorthanded points this season are the most by a Canuck since Alex Burrows in 2009.10 and he now sits tied for fourth with seven other players for most shorthanded points by a Canucks skater in a single season, two shy of the mark set by Pavel Bure (1992.93, 1997.98) and Russ Courtnall (1995.96).
DOUBLE OR NOTHING
Collecting two assists on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Quinn Hughes registered his 17th multi-point game of the season, surpassing Doug Lidster (1986.87) and Paul Reinhart (1988.89) for the most such occurrences by a defenceman in a single season in franchise history. It also marked Hughes' 14th multi-assist game this season, tying Dennis Kearns (1976.77) for the most in one season by a defenceman in Canucks history.
&bull; Hughes is now also tied with Alexander Edler for most total multi-assist games in franchise history with 42, trailing only Dennis Kearns (53) for most all-time.
"MR. CLUTCH"
Scoring the game-tying goal at 19:31 of the third period on Feb. 23 at STL, (just two days after he tied the game at 19:44 of the third period on Feb. 21 at NSH), Andrei Kuzmenko became the first player in Canucks history and fourth player in NHL history to score the game-tying goal in the final minute of regulation in consecutive games. In doing so, he joined Sawn McEachern (Dec. 28-30, 1998 w/ OTT), Mikko Makela (Feb. 28 - Mar. 3, 1987 w/ NYI) and Phil Esposito (Jan. 7-9, 1977 w/ NYR) to accomplish the feat.
SHOOT TO SCORE, KUZY
Deflecting home a power play marker for his 29th goal of the season on Mar. 4 vs TOR, Andrei Kuzmenko now own's an NHL-best 26.4% shooting percentage (min. 50 shots). The first year NHLer is on pace to rank second for highest shooting percentage (min. 50 shots) in a season in team history, currently trailing only Gary Lupul (28.1%) in 1982.83.
&bull; Scoring two goals on Feb. 21 at NSH, Andrei Kuzmenko registered his 25th career NHL goal and became the fourth fastest player in Canucks history to hit this milestone (56 GP), only trailing Pavel Bure (55 GP), Elias Pettersson (44 GP), and Brock Boeser (44 GP).
PETEY KEEPS PUTTING UP THE POINTS
Notching one goal and two assists on Feb. 23 at STL, Elias Pettersson recorded his 24th career three-plus point game, surpassing Cliff Ronning for sole possession of fourth place in franchise history for most three-plus point games among Canucks centreman (trailing Patrik Sundstrom [29], Thomas Gradin [38], and Henrik Sedin [62]).
&bull; Elias Pettersson played in his 300th career NHL game on Feb. 21 at NSH, concluding the contest with 293 career points (124-169-293). As a result, Pettersson ranks second in franchise history for the most points in a player's first 300 NHL games (trailing Pavel Bure with 348) and is ranked sixth among Swedish-born NHL players all-time (behind Mats Sundin [306], Nicklas Backstrom [308], Mats Naslund [313], Peter Forsberg [382], and Kent Nilsson [401]).
NO QUIT CANUCKS
Despite beginning the third period on Feb. 23 at STL with a 2-0 deficit, the Canucks notched two third period goals and the overtime winner to earn their seventh multi-goal comeback win this season, trailing only Chicago (8) for the most such instances in the NHL. The number is also the second-most in a single season Canucks franchise history behind only 2009.10 (8).
&bull; The Canucks also earned their ninth third period comeback win of the 2022.23 campaign on Feb. 23 at STL, ranking second only to the Vegas Golden Knights (10) in that category.
FAST FIFTY
Registering two assists on Feb. 21 at NSH, Quinn Hughes became the fifth U.S.-born defenceman to record at least 50 multi-point games before the age of 24 and only the third active defenceman to hit this milestone, tying Rasmus Dahlin (50) and trailing Erik Karlsson (58). Hughes is also only one of six Canucks blueliners to reach at least 50 multi-point games in their career joining Doug Lidster (52), Mattias Ohlund (54), Dennis Kearns (59), Jyrki Lumme (67), and Alexander Edler (68).
FANTASTIC FIVE
Thanks to his fifth career five-point game (2-3-5) on Feb. 18 vs PHI, Elias Pettersson became the fifth-fastest player in franchise history to reach 70 points (27-44-71 in 54 GP) in a season, behind Pavel Bure (46 GP), Henrik Sedin (49), Alexander Mogilny (49), and Bure again (52).
<ul>
<li>
Collecting two shorthanded empty-net goals enroute to five points, Elias Pettersson joined Mario Lemieux as the only players in NHL history to have a 5-point game with multiple empty-net goals. Pettersson also broke a tie with Alexander Mogilny for the most five-point games in a single season (3) in franchise history.
</li>
<li>
Pettersson's five-point outing also tied Nicklas Backstrom (WSH) for the third-most five-point games in NHL history by a Swedish-born player, trailing Peter Forsberg and Kent Nilsson (9 each).
</li>
<li>
Among primary centremen in NHL history, Pettersson now ranks tied for seventh-most five-point games before the age of 25, trailing Wayne Gretzky (62), Mario Lemieux (29), Dale Hawerchuk (9), Bryan Trottier (8), Steve Yzerman (7), and Connor McDavid (7).

SHINING AGAINST THE STARS
Entering tonight's game with an active three-game win streak vs Dallas, the Canucks will look to extend their streak against the Stars to four games for just the third time in franchise history (second time since the Stars relocated to Dallas from Minnesota).

IN SHORT ORDER
Opening the scoring with a shorthanded marker just 1:25 into the first period on Jan. 27 vs CBJ, Elias Pettersson scored the third earliest shorthanded goal in Canucks history (85 seconds in), trailing only Alex Burrows (37 seconds in on Mar. 6/08 vs NSH) and Jere Gillis (80 seconds in on Mar. 28/84 vs WIN).

KNACK FOR THE NET
Extending his goal streak to three games with a third period tally on Feb. 11 at DET, Elias Pettersson reached the 25-goal mark for the fourth time in his young career, becoming just the third player in Canucks history to record as many 25-goal campaigns in his first five career NHL seasons, joining Stan Smyl (4) and Petri Skriko (4).
FAST FIFTY

Posting two assists on Feb. 9 at NYI, Quinn Hughes recorded his 39th career multi-assist game to pass Jyrki Lumme for sole possession of third in franchise history for such occurrences among defensemen, trailing only Alexander Edler (42) and Dennis Kearns (53). The assists pushed Hughes to 44 on the season in his first 48 games, becoming only the third Canuck (fourth instance) to register at least 44 assists in the player's first 48 games (joining Daniel Sedin in 2009.10 [46] and Henrik Sedin in 2009.10 [46] and in 2010.11 [48]).
&bull; Hughes collected his 21st career multi-point game on the road, tying Doug Lidster for fifth-most such occurrences by a defenceman in franchise history. The occasion also marked his 49th career multi-point game (home and road), to rank him sixth for most such occurrences, collecting 113 points (15-98-113) in those 49 games.
NO QUIT CANUCKS
Trailing 4-2 in the second period on Feb. 9 at NYI, the Canucks earned their sixth multi-goal comeback win this season which tied them with the New Jersey Devils and Anaheim Ducks for most multi-goal come-from-behind victories this season through Feb. 9.

MILLSY'S MILESTONE
Recording the lone assist on Vasily Podkolzin's first goal of the year on Feb. 8 at NYR, J.T. Miller registered his 500th career NHL point (187-313-500), becoming the eighth player and second American-born skater from the 2011 NHL Draft class to achieve the milestone. Miller, who was drafted by the Rangers, recorded 172 points (72-100-72) with New York, before collecting 65 (23-42-65) with Tampa Bay and 263 (92-171-263) with Vancouver to reach the 500-point mark.

IN SHORT ORDER
Opening the scoring with a shorthanded marker just 1:25 into the first period on Jan. 27 vs CBJ, Elias Pettersson scored the third earliest shorthanded goal in Canucks history (85 seconds in), trailing only Alex Burrows (37 seconds in on Mar. 6/08 vs NSH) and Jere Gillis (80 seconds in on Mar. 28/84 vs WIN).
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT

FAMILIAR TERRITORY
Newly acquired Canucks forward Anthony Beauvillier will face his former team tonight for the first time since he was acquired alongside Aatu Räty and a 2023 first-round draft pick on January 30th. Beauvillier, who was drafted in the first round, 28th overall by the Islanders in 2015, played his first 457 regular season NHL games with New York, ranking 39th on the team's all-time games played list at the time of his departure.
<ul>
<li>Beauvillier recorded 209 points (102-107-209) in 457 regular season games with the Islanders and added 29 points (15-14-29) in 49 playoff contests.</li>
<li>The 25-year-old winger will look to add the Islanders to the list of all 31 other NHL teams that he has registered at least one point against in his career.</li>
</ul>
MILLSY'S MILESTONE
Recording the lone assist on Vasily Podkolzin's first goal of the year on Feb. 8 at NYR, J.T. Miller registered his 500th career NHL point (187-313-500), becoming the eighth player and second American-born skater from the 2011 NHL Draft class to achieve the milestone. Miller, who was drafted by the Rangers, recorded 172 points (72-100-72) with New York, before collecting 65 (23-42-65) with Tampa Bay and 263 (92-171-263) with Vancouver to reach the 500-point mark.
GOING FOR TWO
Posting two assists on Feb. 8 vs NYR, Quinn Hughes collected his 20th career multi-point game on the road, passing Kevin Bieksa for sole possession of sixth-most such occurrences by a defenceman in franchise history. In those 20 games, Hughes has amassed 47 points (2.35 points per game), the highest points per game average among defenceman with 10 or more multi-point road games in Canucks history.
<ul>
<li>The occasion also marked Hughes' 48th career multi-point game (home and road), passing Rick Lanz for sole possession of sixth-most such occurrences. In those 48 games, Hughes has 111 points (15-96-111).</li>
</ul>
PETEY'S ALL-STAR WEEKEND
All-Star Game: Despite a 6-4 loss to the Central Division in the semi-final, Elias Pettersson notched two goals to lead the Pacific Division in goals, points (2-0-2; t-1st), and shots (6).
Skills Competition: Elias Pettersson was crowned as the NHL Hardest Shot winner at the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills competition on Feb. 3 in Sunrise, Florida with his winning blast registering at 103.2 mph. Pettersson was the only player to break 100 mph on both of his shots, and his winning shot was the second-hardest ever by a forward at the event, just behind Steven Stamkos' 103.9 mph shot in 2016.
IN SHORT ORDER
Opening the scoring with a shorthanded marker just 1:25 into the first period on Jan. 27 vs CBJ, Elias Pettersson scored the third earliest shorthanded goal in Canucks history (85 seconds in), trailing only Alex Burrows (37 seconds in on Mar. 6/08 vs NSH) and Jere Gillis (80 seconds in on Mar. 28/84 vs WIN).
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT
Registering 48 shots in the team's 5-2 victory over Chicago on Jan. 24, the Canucks recorded a shot differential of +34. This has tied the team's highest recorded shot differential in franchise history with two other occasions:
<ul>
<li>November 18, 1980, vs original Winnipeg Jets</li>
<li>February 20, 1976, vs Minnesota North Stars</li>
</ul>
Chicago's 14 shots on goal are also tied for the seventh-fewest shots allowed in a game in franchise history and mark the fewest allowed in a game since Dec. 12/10 at Edmonton (12 SA).
'TOC' OF THE TOWN
On January 22nd, Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced that Rick Tocchet had been named the 21st Head Coach in franchise history. Tocchet joins the Canucks having most recently served four seasons as head coach of the Arizona Coyotes from 2017.18 to 2020.21. During his tenure in Arizona, Tocchet led the Coyotes to their first trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs (2020) in eight years, when the team defeated the Nashville Predators in four games to advance from the Qualifying Round.

Prior to his appointment in Arizona, Tocchet spent three seasons (2014.15 to 2016.17) as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017.
<ul>
<li>In addition to Tocchet's appointment as Head Coach, the Canucks also introduced former NHL defencemen Adam Foote as an Assistant Coach and Sergei Gonchar as a Defensive Development Coach.</li>
<li>Tocchet, Foote, and Gonchar played a combined 3,596 regular season games in the NHL, winning four Stanley Cups between them as players, and an additional three Stanley Cups in coaching capacities.</li>

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT 'BEAU'
Acquired from the New York Islanders via trade on January 30, Anthony Beauvillier made his Canucks debut on Monday night vs New Jersey. Here are seven things to know about the newest Canucks forward:
<ul>
<li>
Beauvillier will wear number 72 with Vancouver, becoming the third player in team history to wear that number, joining Peter Schaefer (2000-01) and Travis Boyd (2020-21).
</li>
<li>
He was drafted in the first round, 28th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, five picks after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/brock-boeser-8478444" data-player-link="8478444">Brock Boeser</a>&nbsp;(23rd) and six picks ahead of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/travis-dermott-8478408" data-player-link="8478408">Travis Dermott</a>&nbsp;(34th).
</li>
<li>
Prior to the trade, he spent his entire career with the Islanders (457 GP), ranking 39th on the team's all-time list at the time of his departure.
</li>
<li>
The winger has achieved three major milestones this season, recording his 100th career NHL assist on Nov. 3 at STL, his 200th career NHL point on Dec. 4 vs CHI, and his 100th career NHL goal on Dec. 23 vs FLA.
</li>
<li>
Has appeared in 49 career NHL playoff games (15-14-29) and tied for the Islanders team-lead in goals (9) in the 2020 playoffs.
</li>
<li>
Beauvillier played three seasons of major junior in the QMJHL with the Shawinigan Cataractes, leading the team in scoring in his second season (42-52-94 in 67 GP) and points-per-game (1.61) in his final junior season (40-39-79 in 40 GP). He also served as team captain in 2015.16.

</ul>
PETEY'S ALL-STAR WEEKEND
All-Star Game: Despite a 6-4 loss to the Central Division in the semi-final, Elias Pettersson notched two goals to lead the Pacific Division in goals, points (2-0-2; t-1st), and shots (6).
Skills Competition: Elias Pettersson was crowned as the NHL Hardest Shot winner at the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills competition on Feb. 3 in Sunrise, Florida with his winning blast registering at 103.2 mph. Pettersson was the only player to break 100 mph on both of his shots, and his winning shot was the second-hardest ever by a forward at the event, just behind Steven Stamkos' 103.9 mph shot in 2016.
IN SHORT ORDER
Opening the scoring with a shorthanded marker just 1:25 into the first period on Jan. 27 vs CBJ, Elias Pettersson scored the third earliest shorthanded goal in Canucks history (85 seconds in), trailing only Alex Burrows (37 seconds in on Mar. 6/08 vs NSH) and Jere Gillis (80 seconds in on Mar. 28/84 vs WIN).
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT
Registering 48 shots in the team's 5-2 victory over Chicago on Jan. 24, the Canucks recorded a shot differential of +34. This has tied the team's highest recorded shot differential in franchise history with two other occasions:
<ul>
<li>November 18, 1980, vs original Winnipeg Jets</li>
<li>February 20, 1976, vs Minnesota North Stars</li>
</ul>
Chicago's 14 shots on goal are also tied for the seventh-fewest shots allowed in a game in franchise history and mark the fewest allowed in a game since Dec. 12/10 at Edmonton (12 SA).
'TOC' OF THE TOWN
On January 22nd, Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced that Rick Tocchet had been named the 21st Head Coach in franchise history. Tocchet joins the Canucks having most recently served four seasons as head coach of the Arizona Coyotes from 2017.18 to 2020.21. During his tenure in Arizona, Tocchet led the Coyotes to their first trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs (2020) in eight years, when the team defeated the Nashville Predators in four games to advance from the Qualifying Round. That same season, he was selected to coach the Pacific Division at the NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis. Prior to his appointment in Arizona, Tocchet spent three seasons (2014.15 to 2016.17) as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017.
<ul>
<li>
In addition to Tocchet's appointment as Head Coach, the Canucks also introduced former NHL defencemen Adam Foote as an Assistant Coach and Sergei Gonchar as a Defensive Development Coach.
</li>
<li>Tocchet, Foote, and Gonchar played a combined 3,596 regular season games in the NHL, winning four Stanley Cups between them as players, and an additional three Stanley Cups in coaching capacities.</li>
</ul>
QUICK QUINN
Registering two assists on Jan. 21 vs EDM, Quinn Hughes marked his 46th career multi-point game and is the fourth active defenceman to reach as many games before the age of 24 (Erik Karlsson [58 GP], Rasmus Dahlin [48 GP], and Cale Makar [47 GP]).
<ul>
<li>
Recording one goal and one assist on Jan. 18 vs TBL, Quinn Hughes reached the 40-point mark this season in just 40 games, becoming the fastest defenceman in Canucks history to reach this mark, besting Paul Reinhart by four games (1988.98).
</li>
<li>Thanks to his third period goal and assist on Jan. 12 at TBL, Quinn Hughes reached and surpassed the 200-point mark in his career (22-179-201) in just his 242nd NHL game, becoming the fastest defenceman in franchise history to ever reach this milestone, doing so in 106 fewer games than the next closest Canucks defenceman (Jyrki Lumme - 348 GP). Hughes is also the third-fastest active NHL defenceman to the mark behind only Cale Makar (195 GP) and Adam Fox (241 GP).</li>
</ul>
TYLER FINDS TWINE
Opening the second period scoring on Jan. 14 at FLA, Tyler Myers became only the fourth Canucks defenceman to score a goal within the first 39 seconds of a period joining Kevin McCarthy (0:19 of P2 on March 8, 1983), Rick Lanz (0:32 of P2 on Nov. 11, 1985) and Ed Jovanovski (0:36 of P2 on Dec. 21, 2000). Myers also registered seven shots on goal to match his career high for the second consecutive game (also Jan. 12 at TBL).
ROAD READY HUGHES
Posting a goal and two assists on Jan. 12 at TBL, Quinn Hughes collected his 19th career multi-point game on the road, tying Kevin Bieksa for sixth-most occurrences by a defenceman in franchise history. In those 19 games, Hughes has amassed 45 points (2.33 points per game), the highest points per game average among defenceman with 10 or more multi-point road games in Canucks history.

<li>Beauvillier will wear number 72 with Vancouver, becoming the third player in team history to wear that number, joining Peter Schaefer (2000-01) and Travis Boyd (2020-21).</li>
<li>He was drafted in the first round, 28th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, five picks after Brock Boeser (23rd) and six picks ahead of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/travis-dermott-8478408" data-player-link="8478408">Travis Dermott</a>&nbsp;(34th).</li>
<li>He has spent his entire career with the Islanders (457 GP), ranking 39th on the team's all-time list at the time of his departure.</li>
<li>The winger has achieved three major milestones this season, recording his 100th career NHL assist on Nov. 3 at STL, his 200th career NHL point on Dec. 4 vs CHI, and his 100th career NHL goal on Dec. 23 vs FLA.</li>
<li>Has appeared in 49 career NHL playoff games (15-14-29) and tied for the Islanders team-lead in goals (9) in the 2020 playoffs.</li>
<li>Beauvillier played three seasons of major junior in the QMJHL with the Shawinigan Cataractes, leading the team in scoring in his second season (42-52-94 in 67 GP) and points-per-game (1.61) in his final junior season (40-39-79 in 40 GP). He also served as team captain in 2015.16.</li>
<li>A native of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, Beauvillier has represented Canada internationally on numerous occasions, including the 2018 World Championships, 2016 IIHF World Junior Championships, 2015 U18 World Championships (Bronze), and 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament (Gold).</li>
</ul>
PETEY'S ALL-STAR WEEKEND
All-Star Game: Despite a 6-4 loss to the Central Division in the semi-final, Elias Pettersson notched two goals to lead the Pacific Division in goals, points (2-0-2; t-1st), and shots (6).
Skills Competition: Elias Pettersson was crowned as the NHL Hardest Shot winner at the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills competition on Feb. 3 in Sunrise, Florida with his winning blast registering at 103.2 mph. Pettersson was the only player to break 100 mph on both of his shots, and his winning shot was the second-hardest ever by a forward at the event, just behind Steven Stamkos' 103.9 mph shot in 2016.
IN SHORT ORDER
Opening the scoring with a shorthanded marker just 1:25 into the first period on Jan. 27 vs CBJ, Elias Pettersson scored the third earliest shorthanded goal in Canucks history (85 seconds in), trailing only Alex Burrows (37 seconds in on Mar. 6/08 vs NSH) and Jere Gillis (80 seconds in on Mar. 28/84 vs WIN).
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT
Registering 48 shots in the team's 5-2 victory over Chicago on Jan. 24, the Canucks recorded a shot differential of +34. This has tied the team's highest recorded shot differential in franchise history with two other occasions:
<ul>
<li>November 18, 1980, vs original Winnipeg Jets</li>
<li>February 20, 1976, vs Minnesota North Stars</li>
</ul>
Chicago's 14 shots on goal are also tied for the seventh-fewest shots allowed in a game in franchise history and mark the fewest allowed in a game since Dec. 12/10 at Edmonton (12 SA).
'TOC' OF THE TOWN
On January 22nd, Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced that Rick Tocchet had been named the 21st Head Coach in franchise history. Tocchet joins the Canucks having most recently served four seasons as head coach of the Arizona Coyotes from 2017.18 to 2020.21. During his tenure in Arizona, Tocchet led the Coyotes to their first trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs (2020) in eight years, when the team defeated the Nashville Predators in four games to advance from the Qualifying Round. That same season, he was selected to coach the Pacific Division at the NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis. Prior to his appointment in Arizona, Tocchet spent three seasons (2014.15 to 2016.17) as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017.
<ul>
<li>In addition to Tocchet's appointment as Head Coach, the Canucks also introduced former NHL defencemen Adam Foote as an Assistant Coach and Sergei Gonchar as a Defensive Development Coach.</li>
<li>Tocchet, Foote, and Gonchar played a combined 3,596 regular season games in the NHL, winning four Stanley Cups between them as players, and an additional three Stanley Cups in coaching capacities.</li>
</ul>
QUICK QUINN Registering two assists on Jan. 21 vs EDM, Quinn Hughes marked his 46th career multi-point game and is the fourth active defenceman to reach as many games before the age of 24 (Erik Karlsson [58 GP], Rasmus Dahlin [48 GP], and Cale Makar [47 GP]).
<ul>
<li>Recording one goal and one assist on Jan. 18 vs TBL, Quinn Hughes reached the 40-point mark this season in just 40 games, becoming the fastest defenceman in Canucks history to reach this mark, besting Paul Reinhart by four games (1988.98).</li>
<li>Thanks to his third period goal and assist on Jan. 12 at TBL, Quinn Hughes reached and surpassed the 200-point mark in his career (22-179-201) in just his 242nd NHL game, becoming the fastest defenceman in franchise history to ever reach this milestone, doing so in 106 fewer games than the next closest Canucks defenceman (Jyrki Lumme - 348 GP). Hughes is also the third-fastest active NHL defenceman to the mark behind only Cale Makar (195 GP) and Adam Fox (241 GP).</li>
</ul>
TYLER FINDS TWINE
Opening the second period scoring on Jan. 14 at FLA,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhl.com/player/tyler-myers-8474574" data-player-link="8474574">Tyler Myers</a>&nbsp;became only the fourth Canucks defenceman to score a goal within the first 39 seconds of a period joining Kevin McCarthy (0:19 of P2 on March 8, 1983), Rick Lanz (0:32 of P2 on Nov. 11, 1985) and Ed Jovanovski (0:36 of P2 on Dec. 21, 2000). Myers also registered seven shots on goal to match his career high for the second consecutive game (also Jan. 12 at TBL).

In those 19 games, Hughes has amassed 45 points (2.33 points per game), the highest points per game average among defenceman with 10 or more multi-point road games in Canucks history.

That same season, he was selected to coach the Pacific Division at the NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis. Prior to his appointment in Arizona, Tocchet spent three seasons (2014.15 to 2016.17) as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017.

HOW ABOUT THAT HORVAT
Registering two goals and two assists for the second consecutive night on Dec. 27 vs SJS, Bo Horvat is the first Canuck to have 4+ points in back-to-back games since 2003 (Markus Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi, and Brendan Morrison each did it Feb. 23rd-25th). Horvat is also only one of four Canucks to record at least two goals and two assists in two consecutive games with the likes of Todd Bertuzzi (Feb. 23-25, 2003), Alexander Mogilny (Dec. 31-Jan. 3, 1996), and Petri Skriko (Mar. 13-17, 1987).
<ul>
<li>27 vs SJS was also Horvat&rsquo;s eighth multi-goal game this season, a career high (previously six games), and the most multi-goal games by a Canuck since Ryan Kesler in 2010.11 (9). Horvat is currently the league-leader in multi-goal games for the 2022.23 season, with Roope Hintz sitting two back at six.</li>
<li>Earlier this season, Horvat became the first player in franchise history to have five multi-goal games in the first 13 games.</li>
<li>Scoring his 25th and 26th goals on Dec. 27 vs SJS, Horvat is ranked second in Canucks history with the most goals in a player&rsquo;s first 34 games, trailing Pavel Bure with 29 in 1992.93.</li>
</ul>
MIKHEYEV&rsquo;S MOVES
With one goal and three assists on Dec. 27 vs SJS, Ilya Mikheyev set a new career high for most points in a single game (4), with his previous record of three points coming in March of this year (Mar. 3 vs WPG &ndash; 1-2-3). Mikheyev also extended his point streak against the Sharks, now recording nine points (4-5-9) in just four career games.
EXCEPTIONAL ELIAS
Tallying two goals and three assists, in addition to the shootout winner, on Dec. 22 vs SEA, Elias Pettersson registered his second five-point outing of the season and the fourth such occasion in his career, setting a new Canucks franchise record. The previous mark was held by Alexander Mogilny with three five-point games.
<ul>
<li>Pettersson now has 42 points (16-26-41) in 32 games played this season, which is 11th in the NHL. His 42 points are also the most by a Canucks skater through the team&rsquo;s first 34 games of a season since Henrik Sedin (41 pts) in 2010.11.</li>
<li>With all 16 of his goals so far this season coming at even-strength, Pettersson ranks t-3rd in the NHL in even-strength goals and is the only player with 11+ tallies to have scored all of his goals at even-strength.</li>
</ul>
SEATTLE CRACKIN&rsquo;
With a 6-5 shootout victory on Dec. 22 vs SEA, the Canucks improved their record vs the Seattle Kraken to 6-0-0 all-time. This marks only the second time in franchise history that the Canucks have won each of their first six regular season games vs an opponent (also won first nine games vs the Washington Capitals from Dec. 17/74 - Oct. 13/76).
SEEING DOUBLE (DIGITS)
Thanks to Ilya Mikheyev&rsquo;s 12th goal of the season on Dec. 27 vs SJS, the Canucks have five 12+ goal-scorers on their roster (Horvat [26], Pettersson [16], Kuzmenko [14], Miller [13], Mikheyev [12]) through the team&rsquo;s first 34 games for the first time since 1992.93 (also five).
<ul>
<li>With Mikheyev&rsquo;s goal, the Canucks also became just the 2nd team in the NHL to possess five or more 12+ goal-scorers this season, joining Tampa Bay (5).</li>
</ul>
ALL ABOUT APPLES
Assisting on Brock Boeser&rsquo;s third period power play goal, Quinn Hughes registered his 28th assist of the season in his 28th game of the season and the 32nd team game for Vancouver. In doing so, he became the second player (third occasion) in franchise history to record 28 or more assists in the team&rsquo;s first 31 games, and first since Henrik Sedin (28) in 2011.12. Henrik Sedin has the most assists through the team&rsquo;s first 32 games in a season with 32 (2010.11).

BELIEVING IN BRUCE
With the team&rsquo;s 7-6 OT victory on Dec. 5 vs MTL, the Canucks overcame a 4-0 deficit for only the third time in franchise history to secure a 4-goal comeback win (Jan. 16/73 vs TOR 6-4 W &amp; Oct. 15/71 vs CAL 9-6 W).

<ul>
<li>Scoring at 3-on-3 in overtime on Dec. 5 vs MTL, Pettersson tallied his 12th goal of the season, all of which have come at even strength. He ranks tied for second among NHL skaters for most even strength goals this season (12), trailing Jason Robertson (17).</li>

</ul>
PUTTING THE 'SUDDEN' IN SUDDEN DEATH
Elias Pettersson's game-winning overtime goal on Dec. 5 vs MTL came just 13 seconds into OT, making it the fastest goal to start a regular season overtime period in Canucks history. The previous record was held by Dixon Ward who scored 15 seconds into OT on Nov. 29/93.
PRODUCTION LINE

SCHENN'S GREATEST HITS
Recording six hits on Dec. 3 vs ARI, Luke Schenn claimed the NHL all-time record for most hits by a defenceman (2,948), surpassing Brooks Orpik (2,946), and is now ranked sixth all-time among all skaters. Schenn has collected the second-most hits in the NHL this season (108 in 26 GP). On Nov. 12 at TOR, Schenn matched a franchise record with 12 hits in a game and became the first player in NHL history to record at least three games with 12+ hits in his career.

Netting 22 power play goals on 70 opportunities in their last 20 games played, including a tally on the man-advantage on Dec. 5 vs MTL, the Canucks' power play ranks second in the NHL since Oct. 24, producing at a rate of 31.4%.
HUGHES' HELPING HANDS
<ul>
<li>With two assists on Dec. 3 vs ARI, Quinn Hughes surpassed Doug Lidster for fourth most multi-assist games among defencemen in Canucks history at 35 games.</li>
