The Vancouver Canucks have been officially eliminated from the 2024-25 NHL Stanley Cup playoff chase.
On Tuesday, the Canucks staged a miraculous comeback, scoring three times in the last minute of regulation and then beating the Dallas Stars 6-5 in overtime to stave off elimination.
But Wednesday night, the Minnesota Wild beat the San Jose Sharks 8-7, meaning any mathematical chance the Canucks had of qualifying for the post-season was extinguished.
