6-0 Oilers FINAL
JARRY SHUTOUT!
The night’s Oilers–Canucks matchup at Rogers Arena featured a 2nd period explosion by the Oilers 3rd line, Vancouver fails to snap a brutal losing streak. Draisaitl on leave of absence.
Canucks are missing something. The sports editor of McColl Magazine wonders what it is. So we ask Grok, what large Russian defenseman is gone?
ANSWER: Nikita Zadorov was exactly that guy! The big Russian wall (6'6", 248 lbs) who brought the physical edge, shutdown presence, and that intimidating vibe to keep opponents in check.
He joined the Canucks mid-2023-24 season via trade from Calgary and instantly became a fan favorite for settling things down with his size, hits, and shot-blocking. In the playoffs that year, he was a beast—adding timely offense too (like that Gordie Howe hat trick moment) and helping stabilize the backend during Vancouver's strong run.
Anyway, 10 game losing streak for the Canucks ties their worst record in history.
