Kevin Lankinen secured his fourth shutout of the season, making 20 saves as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-0. The victory was particularly impressive given the Canucks' travel challenges, as they arrived in Toronto just hours before the game after a loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Brock Boeser, Quinn Hughes, and Kiefer Sherwood scored for Vancouver, with Hughes contributing both a goal and an assist. Tyler Myers also had a strong game, recording two assists. The Leafs, on the other hand, struggled to find their footing following a recent loss.
This shutout marked Lankinen's seventh career shutout, showcasing his growing prowess as a key player for the Canucks. The Leafs, missing key players, could not capitalize on their chances, as Dennis Hildeby made 15 saves in goal.
