Here's how the Vancouver Canucks compare to the rest of the NHL at the halfway point of their 2025-26 season.
The Vancouver Canucks have officially hit the halfway point of the 2025–26 NHL season. At the beginning of the year, many fans couldn’t have said they saw their current coming. However, things such as injuries, trade rumours, and lots of roster movement have resulted in a very different team taking to the ice. With half of their season officially past them, here’s how this Canucks team now stacks up to the rest of the NHL.
Team Stats
In theory, the Canucks aren’t currently dead-last in the NHL. That honour belongs to the Winnipeg Jets, who have only won one game in their past 10 to put them at a season record of 15–21–4 (34 points). Other than the Jets, there is no other NHL team in a lower position in the standings than Vancouver. Having said that, many of the Canucks’ team stats are still towards the bottom of the NHL, as their penalty kill (73.9%), goals-against (142), and goals-for (113) all rank below 25th in the league. Their only team stat that ranks within the top-half of the NHL is their power play (20.3%), which currently sits at 14th.
Individual Skater Stats
In terms of individual skater stats, there hasn’t been too much of a change-up for Vancouver since the 35-game mark. Virtually all category leaders from the last check-in have remained in their spots, with the only change being in penalty-killing TOI. While Tyler Myers led the Canucks by the 35-game point, Marcus Pettersson has since surpassed him with a total of 127:33 minutes played shorthanded. Filip Hronek also joins Elias Pettersson as one of the team’s leading scorers with each scoring 25 points on the season (tied for 129th-highest in the NHL).
Goaltender Stats
Much like their individual skater stat leaders, Vancouver’s goaltending stats have also retained the same leaders as those at the 35-game mark. Thatcher Demko holds the team record for SV% (.904%), goals-against average (2.72), wins (8), and high-danger SV% (0.83%). Three of these four stats rank below 20th in the league, with his total of wins being tied for 38th-highest. On the other hand, his high-danger SV% is currently tied for 19th. Kevin Lankinen ranks first on the Canucks in minutes played (1173:36), shots faced (568), and high-danger shots faced (174), with all three categories ranking below the 20th-highest.
The Canucks are on the road for the next six games, with the first game of this trip being a matchup against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. Vancouver will then take on the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday before heading north to face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. From January 12 to 13, they’ll take part in their second back-to-back of 2026, playing the Montréal Canadiens and later the Ottawa Senators.
