The Vancouver Canucks secured a decisive 4-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche, showcasing a strong performance even though they have been eliminated from playoff contention. Kiefer Sherwood and Dakota Joshua each contributed with a goal and an assist, while Kevin Lankinen turned aside 31 shots, underscoring his pivotal role in the win. The Canucks completed a season sweep against the Avalanche, winning all three matchups this year, marking their first such accomplishment since the 2016-17 season.

Colorado, resting star Nathan MacKinnon, who has accumulated an impressive 116 points this season, suffered a setback. With MacKinnon sidelined, his streak of 209 consecutive games came to an end. Despite this, Devon Toews managed to register a goal, and Mackenzie Blackwood recorded 26 saves in a disappointing finish to their home season. The Avalanche will head into the playoffs as the No. 3 seed from the Central Division, looking to regain their stride with a crucial series ahead.
