In a disappointing home game, the Vancouver Canucks fell 5-2 to the New York Islanders, continuing their struggles at Rogers Arena. Rookie Jonathan Lekkerimaki scored his first NHL goal, but it wasn't enough as the Islanders took control early in the second period.

Despite a return from Dakota Joshua after cancer surgery, the Canucks managed only six shots in the first two periods, matching their season low. The Islanders capitalized on their scoring opportunities, with key contributions from Scott Mayfield and Pierre Engvall.
