The Vancouver Canucks faced another tough loss on the 13th of January, extending their losing streak to seven games. Despite taking their first lead of 2026 against the Montreal Canadiens, the Canucks couldn’t hold on and fell 6-3.
The Canadiens dominated the third period, scoring three quick goals to secure the win. The Canucks struggled defensively and couldn’t capitalize on key opportunities. Coach Adam Foote made lineup changes in an attempt to turn the tide, but the team continues to struggle.
Young defenseman Tom Willander reflected on the team’s performance, highlighting the importance of learning from each game. With the Canucks at the bottom of the NHL standings, there is a lot of work to be done to improve their play.
As the team looks to bounce back, the pressure is on for players like Nikita Tolopilo, who replaced the injured starting goalie. Despite the challenges, the Canucks remain focused on improving their game and turning their season around.
