While the regulation loss to Winnipeg did not eliminate the Canucks, it means Vancouver will need to go on a long run to end the season. The Canucks have eight games remaining, and may need to win at least seven to qualify for the playoffs. This is in large part due to the recent play of the Blues, who have won nine straight and currently have a six-point advantage over Vancouver.
The Canucks return home from their road trip on Wednesday to face the Seattle Kraken. Seattle has already been eliminated from playoff contention and will be looking to put another massive dent in Vancouver's 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs hopes. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 pm PT from Rogers Arena.

Vikings' JJ McCarthy Just Got a Head-Turning 2025 Prediction

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2025 NFL season is the start of a new era for the Minnesota Vikings. J.J. McCarthy will be taking over as the team's starting quarterback and will be looking to keep the team at the top of the NFC. Last season under veteran quarterback Sam Darnold, the Vikings went 14-3 in the regular season. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in their Wild Card playoff matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. McCarthy has the talent and potential to be the team's long-term franchise quarterback. However, there are still concerns about his readiness to play after missing his entire rookie season due to a knee injury. J.J. McCarthy #9 of the Minnesota Vikings looks on in the second quarter of the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders at U.S. Bank Stadium on August 10, 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. J.J. McCarthy #9 of the Minnesota Vikings looks on in the second quarter of the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders at U.S. Bank Stadium on August 10, 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Photo byWith that being said, a major new prediction has been made for McCarthy heading into his first season as the starter. Read more: Vikings Might Still Be in Play for Major QB Move ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky is very high on the young Minnesota signal caller entering the season. He's expecting big things from McCarthy in 2025. "I think he's going to be awesome this year," Orlovsky said. "Minnesota is the easiest place in the NFL this year. It's as good of a roster as there is in the NFL, and if you combine it with scheme and play caller, Kevin O'Connell, a lot of guys would go to Minnesota and play good football." While McCarthy will still need to prove himself on the field, there are a lot of media members who believe he's going to get off to a good start. There are very few quarterbacks who are given a better opportunity than McCarthy is being given. He has an elite offense to work with. Read more: Bears QB Caleb Williams Sends Clear Message to Packers Fans Justin Jefferson will be his No. 1 weapon in 2025. He is arguably the best wide receiver currently in the NFL. Jordan Addison will be the No. 2 weapon for the Vikings, while T.J. Hockenson has the ability to be another key target. Having Aaron Jones in the backfield will also be helpful for Minnesota. Jones can make plays both on the ground and as a receiver out of the backfield. McCarthy will have a lot of pressure taken off of his shoulders due to the presence of Jones. All of that being said, the season cannot get here soon enough. There are questions surrounding McCarthy, but Orlovsky seems to think he'll answer them and pass the test with flying colors.

Ducks Predicted to Pull Off Substantial Offseason Move

Ducks Predicted to Pull Off Substantial Offseason Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the Anaheim Ducks get ready for the start of the NHL offseason, many around the league believe they could be very active. Anaheim hasn't reached the postseason since 2018, and the front office believes next year could be the end of the drought. Advertisement The Ducks brought in veteran head coach Joel Quenneville to lead the charge, but the roster needs upgrades as well. Anaheim's offense wasn't great last season, and they have been connected with a few of the biggest names on the open market in free agency. The biggest fish this year is star Mitch Marner of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Marner isn't expected to return to Toronto, opening the door for a team like Anaheim to swoop in. The Ducks have already been rumored to be offering a substantial amount of money to Marner, potentially linking the two even more. But NHL writer Nicholas Nathanson of Bleacher Report is now predicting that Anaheim will indeed land Marner in free agency. "Marner is in dire need of a fresh environment with minimal pressure, and Anaheim presents the ideal opportunity for him. Few teams will likely match Anaheim's bid, and with a quickly emerging youth movement, they are just a year or two away from being a playoff contender," wrote Nathanson.

Sokolowski-Imagn Images After bringing in veteran Chris Kreider via trade, the Ducks know that they need to add more to the team. Marner could change everything for the Ducks, giving them a legitimate "go-to" type of player. Advertisement It remains to be seen how interested Marner is with the Ducks, but Anaheim could offer him a solid landing spot for years to come.
