It’s been a week since the Vancouver Canucks’ 2024–25 season concluded. Throughout the entire regular season, Vancouver played in seven different months. Let’s take a look at the team’s record and stats on a month-by-month basis.

What Went Wrong For The 2024-25 Vancouver Canucks: The Home Record
October 2024
Record: 4–2–3 (11 points)
Points leader: Brock Boeser (9)
Team goals scored: 27
Team goals against: 31
Necessary context: First win of the season on October 17
Overtime losses stung the Canucks right from the beginning of the season. One-third of the team’s total games in October ended with an overtime loss. They averaged three goals scored per game and 3.44 goals against. Their first win of the season didn’t come until their fourth game played, during which they took a 3–2 overtime win against the Florida Panthers.
November 2024
Record: 8–5–0 (16 points)
Points leader: Quinn Hughes (17)
Team goals scored: 38
Necessary context: Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller both miss time, Dakota Joshua returns
In terms of the amount of regulation wins, November was the Canucks’ best month. Surprisingly, they didn’t have a single overtime loss. All losses from this month saw Vancouver surrender at least four goals or more, with their highest being seven in a 7–3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on November 9. Despite the wins, this was one of Vancouver’s lower-scoring months, with the team averaging 2.92 goals per game.
December 2024
Record: 5–4–5 (15 points)
Points leader: Quinn Hughes (17)
Team goals scored: 41
Necessary context: Filip Hronek misses time, Thatcher Demko returns
No month saw more Canucks overtime losses than December, a month in which Vancouver went to the extra frame six different times. In the five overtime losses, Vancouver scored 15 goals — an average of three per game. Two of these losses were against teams currently in the playoffs, both of whom made the postseason in spots that Vancouver had been competing for.
January 2025
Record: 6–7–2 (14 points)
Points leader: Quinn Hughes (17)
Team goals scored: 27
Necessary context: J.T. Miller, Erik Brännström, Danton Heinen, and Vincent Desharnais traded; Marcus Pettersson, Drew O’Connor, Filip Chytil, and Victor Mancini acquired
January 2025 was one of Vancouver’s busiest months this season, as the Canucks played their most games during this month as well as March (15). Despite the team averaging slightly over a point per game pace for the majority of the season, January was the one month when they didn’t do so. Vancouver also scored an abysmal 1.8 goals per game, getting shut out twice and scoring two or less goals in eight different games — win or loss.
February 2025
Record: 4–3–1 (9 points)
Points leader: Filip Chytil (5)
Team goals scored: 16
Necessary context: Quinn Hughes out for six of eight games
February was one of three shortened months this season, as the team was on break from the 8th to the 22nd due to the 4 Nations Faceoff. Before the break, Vancouver had a 3–0–1 record that included a 3–0 shutout against the Colorado Avalanche courtesy of Thatcher Demko. Post-break is a different story — Jake DeBrusk scored the team’s two lone goals in their first two games back, and the team’s lone win came in overtime against the Los Angeles Kings.
March 2025
Record: 7–6–2 (16 points)
Points leader: Pius Suter (15)
Team goals scored: 49
Necessary context: Seven different players miss at least one game due to injury
In a month that could have helped them clinch a playoff spot, Vancouver was unable to convert and were ultimately squashed by injuries. This was despite scoring their highest goals per game of each month of the season (3.27). While the Canucks put up a dominant 6–2 win against the Winnipeg Jets, they also lost many winnable games by quite a big margin. Even so, untimely injuries forced the team to play important matches with a depleted lineup.
April 2025
Record: 4–3–1 (9 points)
Points leader: Conor Garland and Quinn Hughes (6)
Team goals scored: 23
Necessary context: Elias Pettersson shut down for the season
Even with their playoff chances virtually nonexistent, Vancouver still displayed their spirit with solid wins against the Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars. Since injuries had taken over the lineup, the latter part of April was more of a tryout for younger Abbotsford Canucks than an actual attempt at playing for postseason contention. One thing to note about the will of this Canucks team was their 6–5 comeback overtime win. If this team hopes to compete in the playoffs next season, they’ll need to continue carrying that spirit with them throughout 2025–26.
