The National Hockey League has handed the Vancouver Canucks a massive disadvantage to start the 2025-26 season, with the schedule released earlier today.<\/p>\n
Canucks fans have been eagerly waiting to see when they’d see their favorite players back on the ice and the team, along with 31 other club, released their 2025-26 schedule on Wednesday, however for Vancouver, they were handed a pretty big disadvantage by the NHL.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, the Vancouver Canucks will begin their season at Rogers Arena against the Calgary Flames and after that, they’ll head to Alberta to take on the Edmonton Oilers, before returning home to face the St. Louis Blues for a matinee on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
Following that game against the Blues, the Canucks will head out on a five-game road trip with stops in Dallas, Chicago, Washington, Pittsburgh and Nashville, with the matchup against the Capitals set for 9:30 am PT.<\/p>\n
In total, Vancouver will have six of their first eight games of the 2025-26 season on the road, which is obviously out of their control, but something the organization likely isn’t too happy with.<\/p>\n

6 of their first 8 games are on the road.” Rob Williams of Daily Hive said on X.<\/p>\n
Upon returning from that road trip, Adam Foote’s group will have a three-game homestand where they’ll face the Montreal Canadiens (Oct. 25th), Edmonton Oilers (Oct. 26th) and on October 28th, they’ll welcome J.T. Miller<\/a> back to Rogers Arena for the first time since being traded<\/a> to the New York Rangers.<\/p>\n Throughout the 2025-26 season, Vancouver will have five road trips of four games or longer, along with a pair of eight-game homestands in the second half of the year – one in January and another in March, which fans are looking forward to.<\/p>\n It’s also worth noting that because of the National Hockey League’s Olympic break, the Canucks will only play a total of four games in the month of February, with just one being at home – Feb. 25th against Winnipeg.<\/p>\n To finish off their regular season, the team will play nine games in the month of April, six of which come on the road and their home finale is set for Tuesday, April 14th against the Los Angeles Kings.<\/p>\n Previously on CanucksDaily<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 30 MINUTES AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a034 ANSWERS<\/p>\n NHL Hands Down Massive Disadvantage to the Vancouver Canucks to Start the 2025-26 Season<\/p>\n How many games do you think the Vancouver Canucks will win in the first month of the 2025-26 season?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo credit: Los Angeles Times The National Hockey League has handed the Vancouver Canucks a massive disadvantage to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5128],"tags":[3345,894,1669,5,4,893,27,22726,5692,22727,5313],"class_list":{"0":"post-128268","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-vancouver-canucks","8":"tag-2025-26-nhl-season","9":"tag-canucks","10":"tag-canucks-daily","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-vancouver","14":"tag-vancouver-canucks","15":"tag-vancouver-canucks-2025-26-season","16":"tag-vancouver-canucks-news","17":"tag-vancouver-canucks-schedule","18":"tag-vancouvercanucks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/114866093121370559","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
