In their last game of the 2024–25 regular season, the Vancouver Canucks (38–29–14) will be taking on the Pacific Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights (49–22–10). This is the last game of the season for both teams involved, though Vegas has already qualified for the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs and will be taking on whichever team clinches the first wild card spot in the Western Conference.

Since being eliminated from playoff contention, the Canucks have had their eyes on two things only — the performances of their young guns from Abbotsford, and Quinn Hughes’ chase for Alex Edler’s record for career points by a defenseman. On Monday night against the San Jose Sharks, Hughes tied the record by grabbing an assist of Jake DeBrusk’s overtime goal. Tonight, Hughes will be looking to break that record by grabbing at least one point.
Players to Watch:
Brock Boeser:
Tonight may be the final time fans get to watch Brock Boeser as a member of the Canucks, as reports have circulated that the team’s longest-tenured skater may not return to the team that drafted him in 2015. Boeser has 25 goals and 25 assists in 74 games played this season. In Vancouver’s three matches against the Golden Knights in 2024–25, he has one assist. He has had a slow stretch of four points in the past 10 games, so expect him to bounce back tonight against Vegas for what may be his final time playing for the Canucks in front of their fans.
Ivan Barbashev:
Most of Barbashev’s success against the Canucks has come in the 2024–25 season, as he has scored a goal in every game he has played against Vancouver. In his past four outings against the Canucks, he has two goals and two assists. Right now, he has three goals in his past five games played leading up to the playoffs. He is tied for fifth in points on the Golden Knights with 23 goals and 28 assists.
