NHL Highlights | Avalanche vs. Canucks | November 09, 2025

And he starts on the bench in this game with 
young Elias Patterson on his left. Big test tonight. Nathan McKinnon in front. Kicked out 
by Lankin. I think he was looking for a tip and the Conucks move the puck ahead. Here’s 
Lucas Rel. Here’s a lead pass. Patterson in. Shoots off the arm of Blackwood. The puck out of 
play as Quinn Hughes sprung Elias Patterson. Oh, nice pass up ice. finds Person deep up through 
the middle of the ice and Person had a a little bit of the yips again last night early in the 
second period. He dropped one. Here come the abs quickly. McKinnon has a step on Myers cut 
with the shot glove. Save Lank but man he’s impossible to handle when he’s out in the open 
ice. Shot by Taves. A stick save by Lank. Mars moved in deep now. Quinn Hughes up ice across 
to Garland. Wrist shotered away by Blackwood. Zakar Vardikov tried to move the puck. Besser 
winds up with it. Sends it across to Yonder. Now Elias Patterson deflected right past save. 
I think Sherwood or Sans and Associates inside the numbers later as Lankin makes a left pass. 
A Sman going to have to face another one here. Patterson went down to block it as Arturi Lechen 
had an opportunity on the back end and shake it out a little bit. He’s going to limp his way 
to the bench now. Hunched over after that hit in the neutral zone from Evander Kane. Marin on 
the right wing. sends one in front. Nachuskin dishes off. They score. Nathan McKinn stretches 
his point streak to nine games as he opens the scoring just shy of the sevenminute mark here in 
Vancouver. Pass by Nachuskin, but the entry is too much room allowed for Kale Mar. Now that opens up 
four Avalanche into the rush and Nuskin is going to freeze everybody in the middle of the ice. 
Heronic thinks that there’s a shot coming. The dish goes to McKinnon and wide open net. The most 
dangerous. Conor Bernard for the league lead in points after Bernard had another big game tonight. 
There’s a shot stop rebound. Baines couldn’t get it to go after the initial save by Blackwood off 
Lenus Carlson. Whiffed on that one. Shanked it into the corner. McKinnon for a car. Sherwood 
blocked the pass, but the Abs regained control. Olson across. McKinnon shoots. He scores. Second 
of the period for Nathan McKinnon. The ABS count on the power play to clearing the zone. And the 
last thing the ABS need is a second opportunity. Right here is where Sherwood gets it. It hits his 
feet, but Macar finds the puck first. Olivesson, who signed as a free agent from Vegas, 
slides this. It goes right through the feet of Ratu. And McKinnon just does 
not need much room, does he? I mean, it’s not much. It’s just one little push from 
the outside of the circle into his Malinski. Pass picked off by Jake De Brush. Gi skates 
the other way. Cuts left hooks one on goal. Blackwood got his right pad on that now. Loose 
puck in front. De Brush shoots wide. Besser in front. Now he enters the right jam home. Garland 
trying to settle a bouncy puck. Feeds into the corner. Rock Besser up to Connor Garland shoots 
and a glove save by Blackwood but Patterson wins the face off. Garland takes a pass on the near 
side down to Besser. Back up to Garland puts one in front and Patterson hit the post. Hughes 
at the left point spins away from Kelly. Quinn Hughes fakes the shot goes the other way now one 
and a blocker saved by Blackwood. 5 seconds to the power play. Hughes in front off a skate 
and Blackwood stopped Carlson. Kane gets the puck. Pulls it in front and the Conucks can’t 
get a stick on it. Penalty’s over. Manson’s out of the box. Hughes turning with a puck. 
Nushkin trying to stay with him. Here’s Kane. Heronic towards the goal of Tain’s glove. Jammed 
in. Lis Carlson for his first of the season. finally rewarded and it’s a one-goal game. So 
much right with this for the Canucks. Hughes back after a brilliant third period yesterday. 
He’s all over the ice here to create the chance. Watch the hands on Carlson. The puck goes below 
the goal line through his own feet and jams it up into the top of an edge. Haven’t talked 
about him yet. Been a while since he played a game here in Vancouver. Here’s Sone and to 
the crease. Knocked away by Blackwood. And the net’s been dislodged. Marcus Patterson back 
into his own zone. Here’s Molinsky on net. Oh, Langman looked behind him. He wasn’t sure. 
Looking to tie on the power play. Garland down to Besser. Cuts in front of the shot. Stop. 
Rebound. Patterson jamming away. Couldn’t get it past Blackwood who covers in the crease. Is in 
the front of the net. You’ll see De Bruss come to the back door. And it’s going to be Person that 
gets the rebound here. shoveling away. He’s just trying to chip that up over Blackwood as that puck 
hits twice. And there’s Patterson. Got two whacks at it actually. ABS control the puck. Chaves 
goes off the boards and out. Now they have a chance for a break. Drury’s it. Drury shoots. 
Stopped by Lanken who came out to challenge. Basser picks his way to center. Back 
hands one wide to the goal. Sherwood after the puck. He’s taken out by 
Lechen as he tried to get in on the four check. Now he gets the puck right 
in front. Backhander scores number 10. He was impeded, but it’s effort that prevents 
or creates the goal because he kept his legs moving. He ends up getting knocked over and tied 
up by Devon Taves. Taves goes back to the puck. Lechin’s borderline interfered with him. But 
because Sherwood’s effort keeps his legs moving, he’s rewarded as the puck comes right back to 
him. This one slides right through Blackwood’s feet. That broke the stick of Heronic. But here 
comes Kane two-on-one with Garland with Ander Kane going to go right to the net with the 
backhander and he missed on the short side. Sherwood moves the puck ahead. Basser into the 
middle. Hughes shoots. Stopped by Blackwood who came out to challenge as Hughes. So Garland trying 
to defend here without his stick as the pass comes back to Brent Burns. Puts one in front. Tipped 
in. Arturi Lechan as Burns put it on the tape and Lechan put it under the bar. 28 seconds 
into the third period to put Colorado on top without a stick and now you can’t defend 
the pass. He can’t get it into a shot lane as Burns snaps this right on the tape of 
Lean and he’s inside of Hughes who can’t get his stick tied up as Burns heads up and 
the deflection by Lechen and goes into the top corner pass Kevin Lankan and now the Conucks 
after all that good work in the second periods have never trailed. There’s one. Oh, that one off 
Nelson Skate. And that might be Blackwood’s best save of the game. And here comes Ross Colton in 
on the left wing. Shoots. Knocked away by Kevin Lan. Puck centered and another save by Lan. 
This one off Brock Nelson. Kept into the blue line by Heronic. Here’s Ratu shooting. Stopped. 
Rebound to breast. Can’t beat Blackwood. Puck still loose and Nous intercepts and clears. 
Mushkin sends one around. The Canucks are going to chase after that. And here comes Okconor 
with Sherwood. Drew O’ Conor shoots. He scores. A short-handed goal for Drew O’ Conor and 
he’s tied the game at three. Nooken rings this around the boards. Okconor’s got to deal 
with a rolling puck the whole way down the ice. This thing never settles down. And it’s 
an erratic release off the stick of O’ Conor because the puck’s on its edge. You see a 
good look at it there. It’s wobbling and it’s a perfect shot. Okconor has found his game. This 
is the player the Canucks are looking for. Big, fast, straight ahead. Get it as McKinnon feeds 
back to Mar. Here’s Nate McKinnon. And a sharp angle shot. They score on the rebound. Linen 
with his second of the period. A lunging save by Kevin Lankin. But then it was Lchinan who 
beat him. And it’s Avalanche back on top by one. This puck movement is sharp and crisp. The 
one-time by Nas is stopped by Lechinan in the or stopped by Lankin and the rebound pops 
right out to Arturi. Lechan, as you mentioned, his second and the Canucks will have 
to dig deep again. Third time in his career he’s done what you just called. Oh, 
there’s a save by turning at the blue line on Brinley. Leaves for Patterson. Penderson 
cuts left in on goal. Tried to shovel it in. That was stopped. Here’s Marcus Patterson 
to Quinn Hughes. Goal. He’s lost his stick and he makes the save. Struggles the puck. 
Garland across. Blackwood has his stick back. Kane conducts control off the draw looking to tie 
this up with just over three minutes remaining in the third. Besser fake the pass to Hughes. Now he 
puts side of the net. Tipped in by Jake de Bruss. The power play cashes in. De Bruss power play 
goal of the year. Goals in backto back nights. 28 faceoffs for Patterson tonight. He wins the draw. 
He’s played a monster game. He and Hughes will corral the puck and Besser’s looking for another 
option. Garland will leave the bumper and go to the corner. When he leaves, that draws Burns. 
As soon as he leaves, Burns leaves. That opens up this pass lane and Jake de Brusk sweetly tips 
it up over the glove of McKenzie Blackwell. 15 seconds remaining in the third period. Here comes 
Kale Mar with speed. Mar into the bank of his own makes a move. Backhander Lincoln made the save on 
the short side. Here’s Taves. Mar shoots. Lank and fought it off. Two seconds left. ABS pressing 
late. Mar shoots. Lank in the save and the horn sounds. This game will go to overtime. Thank 
worry about those things. But that’s over now as the Bruss comes out to replace Garland. Brinley 
rushes in with a wrist shot. Lanking in the save. Brinley on the rebound scores. Canucks couldn’t 
move the puck out of harm’s way. And Gavin Brinley followed his own rebound to the net. Put it home 
at 68 seconds of overtime. The second game back after he missed a week with a concussion. It was 
a press tonight with Bridley. He drew a penalty on Valander that led to the second Lanin goal. He 
gets his first overtime goal here as Lankinan has the shot hit him and it bounces out in front 
of him. He’s trying to get to the rebound, but before he can get to it, Brinley’s 
there first before Besser can knock it away.
