The Canucks’ full season point paces at the quarter-mark, and what they mean

The Vancouver Canucks have reached the quarter-mark of the 2025-26 season.
Technically speaking, the quarter-mark of an 82-game schedule occurs halfway through the 21st game of the year, which was the Canucks’ wild 8-5 loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday.
The Canucks have started the season with a 9-10-2 record, slightly below .500 hockey, and slightly less than satisfactory has definitely been the overall story thus far. But that’s just at the overall team level. What about as individuals?
We’ve taken the liberty of taking each Canucks’ stats to this point in the season and extrapolating them over a full 82-game schedule to see what everyone is on pace for.
With those players who have missed time to injury, we’ll imagine that they play the same percentage of games from here on out as they already have. And we’re going to put a minimum of six games played on this, which will leave out Derek Forbort, Teddy Blueger, Braeden Cootes, Jonathan Lekkerimäki, Victor Mancini, Mackenzie MacEachern, Nils Åman, Joseph LaBate, and David Kampf.
Players are listed in order of total points.
Quinn Hughes
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 16 | 1 | 19 | 20 |
Projected | 62 | 4 | 74 | 78 |
Hughes was only having a so-so start offensively, but 10 points in his last three games have really juiced those numbers. Now, Hughes is on pace for his second-best point total ever and at his best point-per-game pace yet. If he can stay healthy, a new high is possible.
Elias Pettersson (F)
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 21 | 6 | 13 | 19 |
Projected | 82 | 24 | 51 | 75 |
Pettersson is another player who has pumped these numbers up with four multi-point games in a row heading into this. He’s not quite back at PPG status yet, but he’s trending in that direction. If he can get there and maintain that for the rest of the season, most would be satisfied.
Kiefer Sherwood
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 21 | 12 | 3 | 15 |
Projected | 82 | 47 | 11 | 58 |
What a ridiculous pace. Sherwood is trending to finish with just under 50 goals for the season, and while that 30+% shooting percentage will have to wear off at some point, Sherwood never goes too many games without finding the back of the net. As the goals go down and the assists go up, a 50-point season suddenly seems reasonable.
Brock Boeser
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 19 | 8 | 6 | 14 |
Projected | 74 | 31 | 24 | 55 |
Boeser is aiming at his second 30-goal campaign despite missing some time, and has otherwise put forth a perfectly average offensive start by his own standards. He is on pace to outscore last season’s totals.
Conor Garland
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 17 | 5 | 8 | 13 |
Projected | 66 | 19 | 31 | 50 |
The incredibly consistent Garland is going to find a way to hit 50 points, no matter how many games he misses. By per-game scoring, this is Garland’s most productive season yet, and so long as his latest injury doesn’t get in the way, a new career high is very much within reach.
Filip Hronek
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 21 | 1 | 11 | 12 |
Projected | 82 | 4 | 43 | 47 |
The hard-shooting Hronek from his first year with the Canucks has never returned, and you’d ideally like to see that goal total a little higher. Still, Hronek is pacing just one point back of the career-high 48 points he set two years ago, and he’s done some of this scoring without Hughes.
Evander Kane
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 21 | 3 | 8 | 11 |
Projected | 82 | 11 | 31 | 42 |
Kane is lagging a little bit behind his own career-average pace, but he has been healthier than ever and playing more than ever. It’s the goal totals that really need to come up, especially from a player who has paced for at least 25 in every season prior.
Jake DeBrusk
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 21 | 8 | 2 | 10 |
Projected | 82 | 31 | 8 | 39 |
DeBrusk just missed out on 30 goals last year, and is now projecting to hit that mark in 2025-26. That said, almost all of this production has come on the power play, and DeBrusk’s five-on-five scoring – and his assist count in general – is shockingly low. This is a player who needs to do more at even-strength.
Drew O’Connor
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 21 | 6 | 4 | 10 |
Projected | 82 | 24 | 16 | 40 |
Is O’Connor this year’s Sherwood? A strong month has O’Connor pacing for 24 goals and a new career-high of 40 points. Most expect him to cool down and even out over time, but if he can even approach these numbers, he will have a lot of people feeling good about that contract extension he signed.
Tyler Myers
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 21 | 1 | 5 | 6 |
Projected | 82 | 4 | 20 | 24 |
Myers’ offence has continued to slow down, but steadily. There’s no dramatic drop-off to be had here, and he’s currently pacing for the exact same total he achieved last year – albeit, in more games played.
Aatu Räty
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 19 | 1 | 5 | 6 |
Projected | 74 | 4 | 19 | 23 |
Räty’s shooting percentage and goal-scoring rate from last season’s cameo have vanished. He’s still putting up respectable numbers given his role and age, but most definitely wanted more scoring, specifically, from Räty. It is possible that he is currently overburdened by an overabundance of centre responsibility.
Linus Karlsson
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 18 | 2 | 4 | 6 |
Projected | 70 | 8 | 18 | 26 |
Karlsson has quietly been producing from the bottom-six, and is now on pace for what would be very decent stats from a mostly-fourth liner. Finding ways to contribute like this, despite the deployment, is key to Karlsson keeping his spot on the team long term.
Max Sasson
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 18 | 4 | 1 | 5 |
Projected | 70 | 15 | 4 | 19 |
Sasson scored some big goals when the Canucks needed it most, but has struggled to provide offence anywhere but from his own individual rushes. This is a fine stat line for a depth centre, but Sasson should be capable of more over time.
Marcus Pettersson
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 21 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
Projected | 82 | 4 | 11 | 15 |
Pettersson has never been a big point guy, but is now trending for the worst offensive results of his career. It hasn’t been a terrific start to the 2025-26 campaign for Pettersson in general, and most hope to see more out of him at both ends over time.
Filip Chytil
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 6 | 3 | 0 | 3 |
Projected | 23 | 12 | 0 | 12 |
It’s hard to know what to make of Chytil’s season so far, or the likelihood of him returning over the long term. A goal every other game is good, and we haven’t yet found out if he can also do some playmaking from that 2C position.
Tom Willander
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 11 | 0 | 3 | 3 |
Projected | 43 | 0 | 12 | 12 |
The fact that Willander has earned himself an ongoing spot in the lineup is all that really matters. Any offence out of the 20-year-old is gravy at this point, but there are signs that more points are eventually coming. The indicators are strong!
Arshdeep Bains
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 18 | 0 | 3 | 3 |
Projected | 70 | 0 | 12 | 12 |
Bains has struggled to create any sort of consistent offence past the opening weeks of the season, and it has now cost him his spot on the roster, at least for the time being. When he returns to the lineup, generating more points has to be a priority for Bains.
Elias Pettersson (D)
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 20 | 0 | 2 | 2 |
Projected | 78 | 0 | 8 | 8 |
The other Pettersson is probably never going to be a major point-getter, and certainly not at this stage in his career. More would be ideal, but it doesn’t have to come right away.
Pierre-Olivier Joseph
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 10 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Projected | 39 | 0 | 4 | 4 |
Joseph’s stat line looks relatively reasonable for a depth extra. Not much to write about here.
Lukas Reichel
Games | Goals | Assists | Points | |
Actual | 13 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Projected | 51 | 0 | 4 | 4 |
It’s been enough time to say that Reichel’s results are officially disappointing. One singular assist out of all that top-six deployment just won’t fly. The good news is that most of Reichel’s troubles have come at the centre position, and now he’s getting a chance to play the wing with Kampf’s arrival. Hopefully, more points will follow – they kind of need to for Reichel to stick around.
