The Vancouver Canucks faced a narrow defeat against the Detroit Red Wings, losing 3-2 in overtime despite a strong performance. Newcomer Filip Chytil, along with Pius Suter, found the net for Vancouver, while Kevin Lankinen stopped 15 of 18 shots. The Canucks dropped to 9-10-7 at home and 23-18-11 overall.

Chytil made a significant impact in his debut, scoring the equalizer late in the third period. Coach Tocchet praised the defensive efforts, noting the team limited high-danger chances and allowed just 18 shots. However, the lack of power plays played a crucial role in their inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

With Quinn Hughes scratched due to injury, the Canucks now look to regroup as they prepare for a matchup against the Colorado Avalanche, where they hope to maintain the pace they showed in this contest.
