Vancouver Canucks clinch Pacific Division title ahead of playoffs

The club hit another milestone Tuesday, becoming the third team in franchise history to win 50 games in a season.

“It's a hell of a feat going into training camp and working every day for this,” said head coach Rick Tocchet.

“It's a resilient group, bouncing back after some tough losses or whatever, we had some good winning streaks.

1 spot in the Western Conference, but need a win over the Jets on Thursday and a Dallas loss to the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday to capture the title.

Vancouver could face the Nashville Predators, Vegas Golden Knights or L.A. Kings in the first round.

The team is preparing for its first playoff appearance since 2020 and will host post-season games for the first time since 2015.
