Saturday was full of headlines for the Vancouver Canucks as the J.T. Miller trade speculation reached a near-boiling point. This comes after a disappointing 5-1 loss to the L.A. Kings on Thursday night. During Sportsnet’s Hockey Day In Canada broadcast, insider Elliotte Friedman weighed in on some of the rumours.

The Canucks’ best player on Saturday night may not even be part of the team on Sunday. All the conjecture made J.T. Miller’s performance against the Oilers even more impressive and poignant.

Saturday night’s hockey game between the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks ended in a 3-2 win for the Canucks. It was a win the Canucks needed and a loss the Oilers likely didn’t expect.

The Vancouver Canucks came close to dealing J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers earlier today per a new report.

Leon Draisaitl scored twice and Stuart Skinner made 24 saves for the Oilers (29-14-3), who lost for the first time in five games and second in the past 10 (8-2-0).

One of the biggest heading into this game is will the Canucks seek retribution on Tanner Jeannot? When these two teams met in November, Jeannot delivered a headshot to Brock Boeser, which resulted in a suspension for Jeannot and a concussion for Boeser.

The Canucks have largely failed to build on their success of 2023-24. How do the defence and goaltending grade out at the halfway point?

Quinn Hughes scored twice and the struggling Vancouver Canucks edged the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Saturday. “Two penalties, two power-play goals, that was a big part of it,” Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said.

Quinn Hughes scored twice on the power play and J.T. Miller added a pair of assists as the host Vancouver Canucks held on to beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 Saturday to end a two-game losing streak.

The Vancouver Canucks continue to struggle mightily, and Brock Boeser knows he might not be safe from a potential trade.
