Vancouver Canucks Break Losing Streak with J.T. Miller's Overtime Heroics for First Season Win

Thursday, October 17th, 2024

In Sunrise, Florida, J.T. Miller netted a goal in overtime, leading the Vancouver Canucks to their first victory of the season with a 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers.

Vancouver also saw Teddy Blueger and Quinn Hughes scoring, while Kevin Lankinen completed the match with 26 saves. For the Florida team, Anton Lundell and Jesper Boqvist found the back of the net despite Sergei Bobrovsky's 30 saves.

The Panthers are currently playing without key forwards Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk.

The Canucks continued their early scoring streak, and Miller’s decisive goal was a highlight in a setting where they traditionally struggle.

Florida's Mackie Samoskevich recorded his first career point by assisting on their initial goal.

Hughes’ goal in the second period, initially contested by Florida as a possible hand pass, was confirmed as legitimate by the NHL.

Lundell extended his remarkable streak of scoring goals in three consecutive games, matching his career high.

Looking ahead to Saturday, Vancouver will travel to face Philadelphia, while Florida will play host to the Vegas Golden Knights in a matchup between former Stanley Cup champions.
