The Winnipeg Jets beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday, 5 November 2026, at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg — a convincing win for the Jets and another miserable night for the Canucks.
Six different Jets found the net: Dawson Mercer, scoring his first goal as a Jet and adding an assist, Mark Scheifele with a goal and an assist, Mario Ferraro, Neal Pionk, Alex Iafallo and Cole Koepke. Kyle Connor added two assists, and Stuart Skinner made 24 saves.
The Jets scored two goals 14 seconds apart early on, led 3-1 after the first period and 5-1 by 11:36 of the second. It was their second straight win and the first time they have won two in a row since 4–7 October, after ending a nine-game losing skid. They improved to 6-8-3.
Vancouver’s goals came from Brock Boeser and Liam Ohgren, with Leevi Merilainen making 23 saves on 29 shots. The Canucks fell to 3-14-1, having lost four straight and 14 of their last 15 games — a 1-13-1 run that is the worst 18-game start in franchise history. They have allowed 22 power-play goals, the most in the NHL, and this was their fifth game this season allowing six or more goals.
There was one bright note for Winnipeg: Scheifele is now five goals away from passing Dale Hawerchuk for the all-time franchise scoring record.
The Jets next host Tampa Bay on Sunday, 8 November, while the Canucks travel to Edmonton on Saturday, 7 November, looking for anything to stop the slide. For Vancouver, the season is already slipping away — and Winnipeg were happy to help it along.
Canadian hockey keeps delivering drama, from the Winnipeg Jets’ historic comeback against the Canadiens to Connor McDavid’s 17-game point streak. The Jets are building momentum; the Canucks are running out of answers.
