The Vancouver Canucks faced another overtime setback, this time against the Minnesota Wild, with a final score of 3-2. After a promising two-goal lead slipped away in the third period, the Canucks fell to 9-14 in overtime this season. Head coach Rick Tocchet lamented the careless mistakes that have plagued the team's extra-time performances. The game-winning goal came from Mats Zuccarello, who received a perfect setup from Kirill Kaprizov, showcasing the need for tighter defensive play from the Canucks.

Canucks winger Jake DeBrusk pointed out the importance of momentum and confidence in overtime situations, suggesting that understanding teammates’ movements could alleviate the issues faced during these crucial moments. Additionally, Tocchet emphasized the need for better preparation and practice for overtime scenarios, particularly since playoff contention is no longer an option for the Canucks this season.
