The Weekly Rewind: Vancouver Canucks Recaps From February 10 To 16, 2025
Vancouver Canucks’ 4 Nations Face-Off festivities.
Welcome to The Weekly Rewind, a column published every Monday that recaps the past week of Vancouver Canucks hockey, including the team’s record, players with the highest stats, and more. Since the team is in the middle of a break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, let’s take a look at what the Canucks representatives got up to during the past three days of the tournament.
Latest From THN's Vancouver Canucks Site:
Two members of the Canucks organization took part in the tournament’s first game — Elias Pettersson and Rick Tocchet. Representing Team Sweden and Team Canada respectively, Tocchet’s team went into the game energized by the atmosphere of the Bell Centre. They scored the opening goal off a star-studded power play of Nathan MacKinnon, Sidney Crosby, Cale Makar, Sam Reinhart, and Connor McDavid, and went on to win the game 4–3 in overtime. Pettersson, who ended up on Sweden’s second-unit power play, finished the game with a final ice time of 16:31 — good for fourth-lowest on his team.
In Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen’s first game, he matched up against his NHL teammate, Pettersson, on Saturday. While Finland played on Thursday, Juuse Saros got the start over Lankinen and surrendered six goals. Because of this, Finland turned to the Canucks goalie for their next game, and ultimately won 4–3 in overtime. He stopped 21 of 24 shots against, two of which came at an impeccable time during the extra frame. Because of how he played, Lankinen will be starting today’s game against Team Canada. Pettersson, on the other hand, had a bit of a rough game, playing only 14:10 minutes and registering a single shot. It will be interesting to see how he performs against Team USA later tonight.
The game of the tournament, Canada vs. USA, lit the city of Montréal ablaze. While neither team had any current Canucks playing, Tocchet helped man the bench as an assistant coach, while former Canuck J.T. Miller dropped the gloves in what ended up being the third fight of the game’s first nine seconds. After the three fights, the game cooled down a little more, though there was still lots of hitting. USA had 34 hits in the game, while Canada had 29 — the most combined effort of any games throughout the entire tournament. Canada’s lone goal in the 3–1 loss was scored by McDavid, while Jake Guentzel (2) and Dylan Larkin scored for Team USA.
