Conor Garland News: One of each Thursday

Garland scored a goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and logged two PIM in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Stars.

Garland had played lower in the lineup to begin 2025-26, but he was shuffled onto the first line Thursday. The payoff was quick, as he scored the Canucks' game-winner in the second period and set up Quinn Hughes' goal in the third. Garland has a goal, two assists, 12 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through four appearances. He may still move around the lineup, but the winger is capable of recording 45 to 50 points in a full season.
