2025\u201326 Season Series:<\/strong> First meeting this season (Last season: Canucks 3 – 1 Ducks)<\/p>\n Time:<\/strong> 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST); 7:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST)<\/p>\n How to Watch Tutorial<\/a><\/p>\n US TV:<\/strong> Victory+; ESPN+<\/p>\n Canada TV:<\/strong> SNP<\/p>\n The Anaheim Ducks (14\u20137\u20131) continue their homestand after another tight, playoff-style game, this time edging the Golden Knights 4\u20133 in overtime. Anaheim has won three of four and continues to sit atop the Pacific Division. Their young core keeps pushing their ceiling higher, and their rush game remains one of the most dangerous in the league. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Canucks (9\u201312\u20132) enter having dropped three straight and six of seven. Their territorial play has eroded, their penalty kill ranks last in the league, and their goaltending continues to wobble. However, Quinn Hughes<\/a> and Elias Pettersson<\/a> remain capable of swinging games on their own. Anaheim\u2019s challenge is avoiding early lapses, while Vancouver\u2019s is simply stabilising<\/a> long enough to give their stars a chance.<\/p>\n Vancouver\u2019s recent stretch mirrors its underlying profile. They own a 44.87 percent expected goal share and rank near the bottom of the league in shot volume and suppression. Their five-on-five save percentage sits at 90.83 percent, and their penalty kill is thirty-second. Furthermore, their last outing, a 5\u20132 loss to Calgary, revealed the same issues. They conceded multiple rebound goals, lost rush coverage, and struggled to defend the slot. Kevin Lankinen<\/a> allowed five goals on 21 shots, and Thatcher Demko<\/a> remains day-to-day. However, Hughes continues to dominate play and enters tonight with eleven points in his last five games. Elias Pettersson remains their most dangerous finisher and sits at thirteen goals. Vancouver can still generate moments of pressure, but their depth forwards grade poorly in game score, and the defensive structure behind Hughes and Hronek has not held up.<\/p>\n Vancouver goal!Scored by Filip Hronek with 18:55 remaining in the 1st period.Assisted by Jake DeBrusk.Vancouver: 1Calgary: 0#CGYvsVAN #Canucks #Flames<\/p>\n — NHL Goals (@nhlgoals.bsky.social)<\/a> 2025-11-24T02:16:02.139486Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/11\/PRIMN_25_OOHDisplayAdBanner_Desktop_728x90_POST_Final_en-CA_PV00045908_Tonight.jpg\")
