NHL Highlights | Canadiens vs. Canucks – October 25, 2025

Yeah, I had a day like this. I got traded from Atlanta to St. Louis. Got in at 2:00. Game was at five. I had couple of Burger King chicken sandwiches. And they’d like to spend more time in the offensive zone this line for Vancouver. Quinn Hughes trying to come up with a puck. It’s backhanded on go by Slavsky. Then jammed the rebound wide. Phil Heronic for Vancouver. Drops off for Hughes and he’ll bring the puck to center. Lee pass turning and dumping the puck around on the back end as Connor Garland. Mat missed it. De Bruss gets the punt, feeds the line. Now at the left point, Hughes right point. Heronic. Rashad tipped just wide. Patterson tried to put it on the forehand. Went between the legs and jams around to the far side. Garland is there for Vancouver as the Patterson line not against the Suzuki line this ship. They’ll look to take advantage. Patterson drop pass. Heronic cuts wide, centers Patterson and scores. [Music] A more favorable matchup perhaps and Elias Patterson has his second of the year to make it one nothing to get unttrackable. Here’s one about Patterson. Look at this play by Garland. He accepts the check, drops it to Person. Person’s got his head on the swivel as he looks behind him. He’s like, who’s coming next? He finds Herodotic who’s into the play. This puck goes all the way across and the Conucks breathe a sigh of relief. Number 40 has had a decent start. They need him to score. Pio Joseph to Okconor into the middle. Here’s Ratu moving it out to Ratu. Turns with a shot and angling the stick to steer that puck over the glass was Yakobish. But a wonderful start to the season for Suzuki. His 12 points in that eightgame stretch. Here’s Doc moving in. He shoots off the shoulder of Lanken and the rebound up the gut. Came back to Heronic. Gets a return pass. Heronic again moves to the middle. Kane top of the circle. Wrist shot stopped by Dolish. Rebound put in front by drops back to the blue line to Quinn Hughes. Hughes. Brock Besser. Wrist shot stopped. Patterson after the rebound. Then it went right by De Brusk at the side of the goal as well. Came off that right wing. He’s got three goals on the year. And we know he can shoot the puck. I like when he shoots it on the power play. That was a good shot. Meyers a shot right off the draw handled by Doish. 20 hits a year. Plenty. Here’s Doc. Blue line feed. Jack eyee across to Hudson. Arbor. Jackeye. Long shot. And through traffic. Lankin ain’t able to track that one. Carlson took a hit as he moved over the Montreal blue line. Now he blocks a lead pass. Puck comes right in front of Bane. Stopped by Novish. Rebound. Bane. Stopped again on the back hand. Chance for Bane as the puck popped way up in the air. Everybody’s got to wait for it to come down. Canucks up one to nothing as we get underway here in the second period. Nick Suzuki and his line mates out there to begin for Montreal. A pretty pedestrian first period for Montreal so quickly and the Jays just ran away with game one. That puck trickles through to Lankin and he was able to steer to the side and now a chance for Kirby Don to move in on the left point. spins away from Meyers. Takes the puck behind the net. Came in front off his skate and Lank able to keep it out. Here comes Gallagher up the middle. Dishes off. Puck thrown towards the goal. Swallowed up by Lank as he was tested by Jake Evans off the right. Pio Joseph puts the puck behind the goal. Mat clears to the side. Marcus Patterson there to tie up his man. Now Pio Joseph a one-time stopped. Rebound backhander that was stopped as well. Period. You can’t get off the ice quickly. If you get hemmed in, you lose your legs in the Canucks. Pressure here for Montreal with the Canadians trailing one to nothing. Duck centers and Len over to make the save. Puck centered again. Garland gets the puck. Tried to get to the blue line. Intercepted. Here comes Montreal with an onman rush. Anderson shorthanded. It alone hit the post. Here’s the breakaway. Look at that pass from Anderson or to Anderson. Josh Anderson beats flanking it. Patterson gets the puck at the right point. Turning with it. Watched by Evans. Feeds down low to de Br. Here’s Hughes. Slap shot. Scores. I think Jake de Bruss might attempt it. And after the Canadians came oh so close shortanded, the Conucks double their lead on the power play. The Canucks are able to reload the power play as Nebraska [Applause] from Sherwood with some help from Nick Suzuki. He’s got the puck with a left wing hash mark. Suzuki dishes back. Hudson to Suzuki. Hudson lets one go. Blocked. Loose puck in front to the side. Suzuki scores. Nick Suzuki with an open net extends his point streak to nine games. A power play goal that gets Montreal on the board on the boards and you’re going to see some excellent puck work when the puck ends up on Ivan Demidov’s hands. Watch how he fakes everybody down. Garland thinks he’s going to shoot it. Lankin of course has to respect the shot and then Demidov through the seam finds Suzuki and Suzuki’s going to be able to corral this and sweep it into the empty net and Tyler Meyers. We should mention that the Canadians announced today that Patrick Line would be out three to four months with feeds into the corner for Nick Suzuki. Back to Hudson. Wrist shot off a stick and just wide with Lankinet leaning the wrong way. Puck just went wide to his left. Now Hudson another shot blocked in front. Loose pucks. Slapski scores. Broke his stick as he put it in, but it was intact long enough for the puck to find its way into the net. And Yuri Slavovsky’s tied the game at two. Deadov with the play in the middle of the ice again. The first shot by Hudson. Deflects wide. Sleowski grabs the puck and now they get to re-engage. Watch Demond 93. He hits the puck. Hit him. He’s got the presence of mind to know where the next play is. It’s to Slevoski. It goes through the feet of Marcus Patterson. And Slevoski has tied this game 2-2. His stick is broken. It doesn’t matter. It’s in the back of the net. Kirby knocked to Zack Boo. Riel trying to knock the puck away from him. Canadians maintaining control in the bank of his own. Kerier Mat fakes the shot, lets it go. He scores. Mike Mat with a long wrist pass Kevin Lanken and it’s three unanswered goals for Montreal to give the Canadians the lead. The Canucks couldn’t clear. The Canucks couldn’t kill the cycle. And Mike Mat’s going to get this right in the middle of the ice. He waits for traffic. The fly by screen of Kirby Dock and then Alex New Hook makes it difficult for Lankin to find the puck in Edmonton the other night. Mat played 12 minutes at five on five. Here’s Mat who has the go-ahead goal for the Canadians. Kane went down trying to check in. Carry at the line. Deov shoots. He scores a three-goal third period for Montreal and the Canadians on the road lead by two. This kid’s going to win the rookie of the year. I mean, an amazing player. Such strength on the puck. Creativity. And here he takes the pass. And this is a bullet up over the shoulder of Kevin Lanken. And great ball. I know. as Ker’s pass. Tyler Meyers to Marcus Patterson from center. He risked the puck into the Montreal zone. Sherwood hits Strugal. Now Sherwood a backhander might have caught the outside of the post. Carrie pressured immediately. De Bruss comes up with a puck along the boards to Patterson. Elias Patterson back to Quinn Hughes. Patterson who has two points in this game. Puts one in front. Tipped in. Garland. Three points for Elias Penderson. Garland has a goal and an assist and the Canucks are within one. But it’s the effort that keeps the puck alive that gives Vancouver a chance. Jake De Bruss gets to the puck when Kerier falls. He keeps it alive to Person who will play catch with Quinn Hughes. And look at Garland presenting his stick. The target here for Patterson. And with the Brusk who started this with his good work behind the net in front. Doish can’t find it. And the Conucks have made it 43 on Carter Garland. Passes off Penderson. Wrist shot. Doish the save. Heronic centers. Garland. Backhander up in the air. They jam away and the whistle sounds. The puck will pop up in the air. The stop on Garland and then Mat and De Bruscoll. Canadians win the face off. Puck behind the net. Garland diving. Couldn’t get it to the line. It’s cleared out by Anderson towards the empty goal. It’s going to miss, but it doesn’t matter. Time expires and the Montreal Canadians who trailed two nothing into the second half of the second period. Score four unansered goals. Three points for that man, Ivan Demidov. [Music]

Ivan Demidov recorded his first career three-point night with a goal and two assists, while Juraj Slafkovsky recorded two points as well for the Montreal Canadiens as they beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-3.
