The Vancouver Canucks will travel to SAP Center at San Jose to face the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The matchup begins at 10:00 PM ET as both clubs open their head-to-head regular-season series.
Vancouver enters the contest with a 2-8-1 record and looks to halt an eight-game winless skid (0-7-1). The Canucks dropped their most recent outing 6-3 against the Carolina Hurricanes at home, following a road swing that included a 6-2 loss at the New York Rangers, a 3-2 defeat at the New York Islanders, an overtime loss at the Florida Panthers by a 3-2 margin, and a 4-2 setback at the Tampa Bay Lightning.
San Jose holds a 5-4-1 mark through ten games this season. The Sharks are coming off a 4-3 overtime victory against the Montreal Canadiens. Prior to that win, San Jose lost 3-1 at the Toronto Maple Leafs, dropped a 4-3 shootout decision at the Detroit Red Wings, edged the Nashville Predators 3-2 in a shootout on the road, and fell 6-3 at home to the Boston Bruins.
Thursday marks the first meeting between the Pacific Division clubs during the 2026-2027 season. Vancouver aims to collect two points to stop its recent skid, while San Jose tries to build on its overtime result from Montreal.
