The Vancouver Canucks faced a disappointing defeat against the Calgary Flames, losing 5-2 in a game that showcased their defensive shortcomings. Despite some promising plays, the Canucks struggled to maintain momentum and fell victim to the Flames' relentless offense.

The Flames dominated the puck possession and effectively capitalized on their power-play opportunities, leaving the Canucks on the defensive.
As the game progressed, frustration mounted for the Canucks, whose lack of coordination and defensive lapses were glaringly apparent. Goaltender Thatcher Demko attempted to keep the game close with several key saves, but the Flames' consistent attack proved overwhelming. Fans left the arena disappointed, hoping for a better performance in the upcoming matches.
Moving forward, the Canucks will need to address their defensive issues and find a way to turn their season around, as the pressure mounts to perform in an increasingly competitive NHL landscape. With key matches ahead, the team must regroup and rally to secure crucial points in the standings.
