The Vancouver Canucks began their six-game road trip with a narrow 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators, who are struggling with five consecutive losses.

Despite missing their top scorer, Quinn Hughes, after a major penalty, the Canucks showcased strong performances from Jake DeBrusk and Kiefer Sherwood. Ottawa's Claude Giroux and Tim Stutzle made late efforts, but it wasn't enough to overcome Vancouver's lead.
