Kiefer Sherwood starred for the Vancouver Canucks with two goals and an assist, leading the team to a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night. Thatcher Demko recorded 26 saves, helping the Canucks recover from an early deficit. Aatu Raty, Derek Forbort, and Teddy Blueger also found the net for Vancouver. The Islanders' scoring came from Casey Cizikas and Tony DeAngelo, with Ilya Sorokin being pulled after allowing four goals on 19 shots.

Vancouver took control of the game with three goals in just over seven minutes, turning a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead. Blueger's early third-period goal prompted the Islanders to replace Sorokin with Marcus Hogberg. Despite the loss, DeAngelo extended his point streak to four games. The Canucks will look to build on this momentum in their next game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday, while the Islanders face the Tampa Bay Lightning.
