In a thrilling overtime battle, Conor Garland's second goal of the game propelled the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 victory against the Los Angeles Kings. Garland, who also scored during the power play, secured his 16th goal of the season with a skillful wrist shot from the left faceoff circle.

Nils Hoglander opened the scoring for Vancouver, while Kevin Lankinen turned away 24 shots to solidify the Canucks' position in the playoff race, moving them into the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. The Kings attempted a comeback with goals from Adrian Kempe and Warren Foegele, but fell just short.

Quinn Hughes returned to the Canucks lineup after a six-game absence, contributing an assist on the winning goal. His presence was felt as he logged almost 22 minutes of ice time. The Kings, on the other hand, played without star defenseman Drew Doughty, who is still recovering from injury.
