Game Highlights


The game was intense from the start, with the Canucks establishing an early lead by netting two goals in the first period and adding another in the second. Despite efforts to rally back, the Ducks managed only one goal throughout the match. The third period saw Vancouver solidify their victory with two additional goals, leaving no room for an Anaheim comeback.


Anaheim's performance was highlighted by Olen Zellweger's contribution on defense; he scored his team's sole goal and attempted five shots on target. Mason McTavish and Troy Terry each added an assist to their season records but couldn't turn those opportunities into more goals for their team. On a tougher note, goaltender Lukas Dostal faced a barrage of shots throughout the night—37 in total—managing to save 32 but ultimately conceding five goals.
