- The Vancouver Canucks defeated the Anaheim Ducks 3-2, improving their record to 28-22-11 as they compete for the final Western Conference playoff spot.
- Carson Soucy scored the game-winning goal in the second period, which stood after a lengthy review for potential goaltender interference.
- Teddy Blueger ended a 28-game scoring drought with his sixth goal of the season, while Jake DeBrusk added his team-leading 22nd goal on a power play.
- Anaheim's starting goaltender John Gibson left the game in the second period due to an apparent injury, with Lukas Dostal stepping in as relief.
- Despite the win, Vancouver remains tied in points with Calgary but trails in the standings due to the Flames' higher win total.
