On January 17, 2026, the Oilers dominated the Canucks with a 6-0 victory. Tristan Jarry, acquired from Pittsburgh, recorded his first shutout for Edmonton, making 31 saves. Jack Roslovic and Kasperi Kapanen each scored twice, and Zach Hyman and Vasily Podkolzin also found the back of the net. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, in his 999th regular-season game, contributed two assists. The Oilers' offensive explosion in the second period, scoring four goals in a 4:52 span, sealed the deal. Despite the loss, the Canucks' 10-game losing streak continued, mirroring their 1997-98 season slump. Nikita Tolopilo, the Canucks' goalie, made 29 saves. Edmonton's star forward Leon Draisaitl, absent due to a family illness, is expected to return next week. The Oilers' next challenge awaits as they host St. Louis on Sunday, followed by an eight-game homestand. The Canucks, meanwhile, will host the New York Islanders on Monday night.
