Simply put, Perry punked the Canuck. Their heads are still spinning. Yes, it was just a small and unwelcome act of domination, except that folks in Vancouver see it as a symptom of a much more troubling the disease, the Canucks falling apart in the 2024-25 season.

Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal shared his thoughts on the incident involving Corey Perry and captain Quinn Hughes.

Face the music, Corey Perry. After Perry pile-drived Quinn Hughes into the ice on Thursday night, you figured there’d be some sort of response from Hughes’ Vancouver Canucks teammates. There sort of was.

Quinn Hughes scored two goals, while Kevin Lankinen made 32 saves on 33 shots to lead the Vancouver Canucks over the first-place Washington Capitals.

The Vancouver Canucks have played their way back into the light of the playoff race, and it was probably the best game of the season for goalie Thatcher Demko.

Hands up. Who had Thatcher Demko getting the goaltending call Wednesday in Music City? After all, with a pair of solid-showing victories by Kevin Lankinen, the Vancouver Canucks were expected to give the unflappable Finn the start against the Nashville Predators and a run of all three games on this road trip.

Suddenly winners of two straight, the Vancouver Canucks (22-17-10) travel south to visit the hosting Nashville Predators (18-23-7) at Bridgestone Arena at 6 p.m

On the Oilers, only Draisaitl has better goals per hour than Perry’s 1.08—eye-popping stuff. If Perry, who has played exactly 1,360 regular-season games (55th all-time) and 215 more in the playoffs (13th most) gets to 15 goals this season, that would be his second-highest goal total in the last seven years.

Conor Garland had two goals, and J.T. Miller and Pius Suter also scored to help the Vancouver Canucks beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2.

As the Oilers add at the deadline, it would be a big mistake for the team to overlook Corey Perry's contributions.

Edmonton Oilers veteran Corey Perry was in vintage form during a 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.

Corey Perry is the gift that keeps on giving. At 39 years of age, he’s not the scorer he once was. He’s not playing the minutes he used. Heck, Perry isn’t always a regular in the Edmonton Oilers lineup.
