Rookie Jonathan Lekkerimaki scored his inaugural NHL goal, but the Vancouver Canucks suffered a 5-2 defeat at home against the New York Islanders. The Islanders, now at 7-6-4, saw goals from Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Scott Mayfield, Pierre Engvall, and Anders Lee, while Tyler Myers scored for Vancouver.

Despite Lekkerimaki's achievement, the Canucks struggled offensively and defensively, managing only six shots in the first two periods. Dakota Joshua made his return after cancer surgery, contributing to the team's efforts.
