Sherwood scores in overtime as Canucks slip past Oilers

VANCOUVER — Kiefer Sherwood deflected in a Brock Boeser pass at 1:42 of overtime to give the Vancouver Canucks a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.

It was Boeserâ€s second assist of the night to go with an earlier goal. Elias Pettersson also scored for the Canucks (5-5-0), who snapped a three-game losing streak. Conor Garland also added two assists.

Edmontonâ€s Leon Draisaitl forced the overtime when he scored his second goal of the night on a power play with 5:03 left in the third period.

Jack Roslovic, with his first goal of the season, also scored for the Oilers 4-4-2.

Vancouver goaltender Thatcher Demko stopped 26 shots. Edmonton goalie Calvin Pickard made 23 saves.

Both teams were coming off Saturday losses. The Canucks dropped a 4-3 decision to the Montreal Canadiens at Rogers Arena in a game they led 2-0 midway through the second period. The Oilers fell 3-2 to the Kraken in Seattle.

Vancouver played the game without captain Quinn Hughes. Head coach Adam Foote said the all-star defencemen is “day-to-day†with a lower-body injury suffered in the loss to Montreal. His place was taken by Victor Mancini.

Canucks: Boeser has seven points (three goals, four assists) in his last four games against the Oilers.

Oilers: Draisaitl played in his 800th career NHL game. With his two goals he has recorded at least one point in 26 of his last 27 regular-season contests against Vancouver. He also has points in 16 regular-season games in Vancouver.

With the Canucks clinging to a one-goal lead late in the third period, defenceman Marcus Pettersson was called for slashing. It took just 27 seconds for Connor McDavid to send a pass into the slot that Draisaitl one-timed past Demko tying the game with 5:03 left.

The Canucks penalty kill has allowed 10 goals on 27 chances in the last eight games.

Oilers: Host the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday.

Canucks: Host the New York Rangers on Tuesday.

Canucks fall to Blues despite pair of goals from Sherwood

Brayden Schenn contributed a goal and an assist for the Blues (2-1-0), while Nick Bjugstad buried his first of the season and Jake Neighbours added an empty-net strike with 2:13 left on the game clock.

Goalie Jordan Binnington stopped 29 of the 31 shots he faced as St. Louis won its second game in a row.

Kiefer Sherwood scored both Vancouver goals, including a short-handed tally on a breakaway midway through the second period.

Kevin Lankinen, making his first start of the season, registered 30 saves for the Canucks (1-2-0).

Blues centre Pius Suter made his return to Vancouver, where he played the last two seasons before signing with St. Louis as a free agent on July 2.

Canucks: The home side came into the game with a perfect penalty kill, but saw the streak snapped 8:13 into the second when Snuggerud popped a shot in past Lankinen on a St. Louis power play. Vancouver has killed 12-of-13 infractions to start the 2025-26 campaign.

Blues: Snuggerud led the Blues offence with six shots. The 21-year-old rookie now has seven points (three goals, four assists) across 10 regular-season NHL games to start his career.

Less than two minutes after Sherwood cut Vancouver’s deficit to a single goal with a short-handed tally, Bjugstad replied for the Blues. The centre fired a rocket from inside the top of the faceoff circle 13:45 into the second to make it 4-2 for St. Louis.

The Canucks’ power play went 0-for-1 on Monday, and is now 0-for-7 to start the season.

Blues: Host the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday.

Canucks: Kick off a five-game road trip against the Stars in Dallas on Thursday.
