Sun Jan 19 05:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Canucks Stun Oilers, Ending Edmonton’s Winning Streak
**Vancouver, BC** – The Vancouver Canucks snapped a recent slump, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in a heated Saturday night matchup. Quinn Hughes led the charge for Vancouver, scoring two power-play goals – his first multi-power-play goal game in almost a decade – to propel the Canucks to only their second win in their last eight games. Danton Heinen added another goal, while J.T. Miller contributed two assists. Thatcher Demko made 13 saves in the net.
Leon Draisaitl, the NHL’s leading goal scorer with 33 goals, scored both goals for Edmonton, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Vancouver’s strong performance. Stuart Skinner stopped 24 shots for the Oilers, who saw their four-game winning streak come to an end.
The game’s final seconds were marred by a post-whistle brawl. A tangle between Connor McDavid and Canucks forward Conor Garland ignited a scrum involving several players. Both McDavid and Vancouver defenseman Tyler Myers received match penalties as a result.
The Canucks’ power play, which had struggled recently, proved crucial, converting two of four opportunities. The Oilers, known for their ability to mount comebacks, were unable to overcome the deficit this time, despite their history of success when trailing.
The Oilers host the Washington Capitals on Tuesday, while the Canucks face the Buffalo Sabres to conclude their three-game homestand.
