In a thrilling game 3 of the best-of-seven series, the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 at Rogers Place on Sunday night. Arturs Silovs made 42 saves for the Canucks, while Brock Boeser scored twice and Elias Lindholm added a goal and an assist. Evander Kane opened the scoring for the Oilers, but the Canucks replied with three goals in the first period, including two from Boeser. Leon Draisaitl brought the Oilers within a goal in the third, but Lindholm restored the Canucks’ two-goal lead on a power play late in the second.

The Vancouver Canucks have been dealt a major blow with the news that starting goaltender Thatcher Demko will miss Game 2 of the team’s first-round series against the Nashville Predators and could potentially miss the rest of the series. The Canucks will rely on Casey DeSmith and Arturs Silovs in the crease in Demko’s absence. The injury to Demko is a re-aggravation of the lower-body injury that kept him out of Vancouver’s lineup from March 9 to April 16. In Demko’s absence, the Canucks produced a 7-5-2 record, earning a 2.86 goals against average and a .884 save percentage. The Canucks had the second-highest odds of winning the Stanley Cup before the playoffs began, but their chances have now been lowered.
