The rivalry between the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers is ratcheting up this season. In their latest meeting, the two teams came together for a skirmish

The Edmonton Oilers will play the next three games without superstar captain Connor McDavid after the NHL suspended him for cross-checking Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland on Saturday.

Thursday, 6 p.m., Rogers Place TV: SN Pacific. Radio: Sportsnet 650 The buzz: Conor Garland is a fan favourite in Vancouver and in the crosshairs of considerable vitriol in Edmonton.

Hughes crossed the puck in front of the goal with a jaw-dropping pass that somehow snuck under the outstretched legs of a diving Blues defender and ended up right on the stick of Garland, who tucked it away for his 12th goal of the campaign.

Garland, of all people, jabbed at Calvin Pickard when the Oilers goalie had the puck covered midway through the second period, which ignited a scrum behind the net. Perry quickly got involved. He was about to grab Canucks centre Elias Pettersson until he saw defenceman Quinn Hughes, who’d come in off his point, without a dance partner.

This is not the first time that McDavid has faced disciplinary action. He served a two-game suspension in February 2019 for a hit to the head on then-New York Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy. Additionally, he was fined $5,000 in March 2021.

The Vancouver Canucks have officially hit the 50-game mark of the 2024-25 season. Through their first 50 games, they have complied a record of 23-17-10, and as of the morning of January 30, 2024, sit in the second Wild Card spot.

ST. LOUIS — Conor Garland had two goals, and J.T. Miller and Pius Suter also scored to help the Vancouver Canucks beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Monday night. Tyler Myers added an empty-net goal, and Kevin Lankinen made 24 saves for the Canucks.
