The Canucks won 6-2 on Nov. 6, 2023.Three first-period goals in just under three-and-a-half minutes launched the surging Vancouver Canucks to a 6-2 win over the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.Thatcher Demko stopped 40 of 42 shots for Vancouver , while Stuart Skinner stopped 29 of 35 shots for Edmonton.
The Oilers were repeatedly undone by leaving Canucks players open in the slot, allowing unchallenged shots on Skinner. Brock Boeser added the third in the rush seconds after defenceman Darnell Nurse was sent to the box for cross-checking. The initial shot from J.T. Miller was blocked by Skinner with Boeser on hand to bang it in for the third goal in three minutes, 22 seconds.
But the Canucks restored their two-goal lead after a breakout led by Sam Lafferty, whose shot was blocked by Skinner but Nils Hoglander buried the rebound from the slot.
