Canucks Shutout Panthers 4-0

The Vancouver Canucks defeated the Florida Panthers 4-0, with Kevin Lankinen making 27 saves for his third shutout of the season. Carson Soucy and Danton Heinen scored in the first period, while Jake DeBrusk and Brock Boeser added goals, with multiple assists from Max Sasson, Teddy Blueger, Quinn Hughes, and J.T. Miller. Despite entering the game with a seven-game point streak, the Panthers were shut out for the first time this season, struggling with 19 giveaways. The Canucks saw the return of J.T. Miller and defenseman Derek Forbort, while Thatcher Demko made his season debut earlier in the week. The Panthers, with a 9-4-1 road record, failed to capitalize on power plays, and the win places the Canucks in the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.
