In a decisive matchup, the Vancouver Canucks triumphed over the Chicago Blackhawks with a score of 4-1. Erik Brannstrom netted the go-ahead goal in the third period, while Elias Pettersson contributed a goal in the second. Late empty-netters from J.T. Miller and Quinn Hughes sealed the victory. Arturs Silovs made 28 saves, and despite Ilya Mikheyev scoring for Chicago, Connor Bedard struggled to make an impact in his NHL debut.

The Canucks rebounded from a previous loss to the New York Islanders, showing improvement throughout the game. As they prepare for back-to-back games, the Blackhawks look to regroup after Bedard's continued challenges on the ice.
