Canucks Could Land Star From Division Rival in Free Agency
The Vancouver Canucks only missed the playoffs by a few games this year, and they now enter the offseason looking for some answers. Just two seasons ago, the Canucks were one of the better teams across the NHL, so something will need to change this summer. Vancouver isn't too far off from being back in contender status, but the roster does need some upgrades. One option for the Canucks could be to address the center position. Advertisement The Canucks struggled throughout the year with the position, and may be in line to make a big move this summer. There will be a few quality players available on the open market this offseason, and Vancouver could look to strike. One name is Mason McTavish from the Anaheim Ducks, and NHL writer Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report has linked the two together. "It would be a massive long shot for the Anaheim Ducks to not bring back Mason McTavish, but if there were a contract impasse, Vancouver should be ready to pounce on him in a heartbeat. McTavish is an outstanding scorer and plays the game decisively in all areas. He's the kind of player every team would be lining up out the door to talk to if he were available." Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish (23) and Calgary Flames center Mikael Backlund (11) face off for the puck during the first period at Scotiabank Belski-Imagn Images McTavish is likely to stay with the Ducks, but Anaheim has been a little stingy with contracts over the years. If the two can't agree on terms, it could open the door for a team like Vancouver to swoop in. Advertisement The former No. 3 pick in the 2021 NHL draft scored 22 goals and 30 assists for Anaheim. Additionally, stealing a player like McTavish from a division rival could be a strong move for the Canucks. Vancouver has a lot of work to do this offseason, with getting back to the postseason being the main goal for the front office.

Mason McTavish's OT goal ends Ducks' huge late comeback for 5-4 win over stunned Rangers
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mason McTavish scored 59 seconds into overtime, and the Anaheim Ducks overcame a two-goal deficit in the final six minutes of regulation for a 5-4 victory over the New York Rangers on Friday night. After Olen Zellweger tied it with 1:45 left, McTavish scored his 20th goal on Jackson LaCombe's pass to finish a stirring comeback by the Ducks, who are all but certain to miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. Leo Carlsson had a goal and three assists in the former No. 2 overall pick's first career four-point game for Anaheim. Cutter Gauthier scored the Ducks' first goal in the third, and Alex Killorn got an early short-handed goal. Lukas Dostal made 27 saves. J.T. Miller, Alexis Lafrenière and Adam Fox had a goal and an assist apiece for New York, which has lost five of six. Mika Zibanejad scored a power-play goal in the third period. Igor Shesterskin stopped 28 shots. Rangers: Collapse aside, they also missed the chance to leapfrog three teams into sole possession of the second wild-card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They're even with Columbus (75) and Montreal (75) and barely ahead of the Islanders (74), but all three teams have games in hand on the Rangers. Ducks: Jacob Trouba faced New York for the first time since his trade to Anaheim in December. The former Rangers captain left in the third with an apparent injury. Four minutes after Gauthier started the rally with his rebound backhand with 5:48 left, the 21-year-old Zellweger finished an odd-man rush with a nasty shot right under the bar. Anaheim had just one short-handed goal in its first 70 games before connecting twice in two games, with Killorn following Carlsson's shorty on Wednesday. The Rangers visit the Sharks on Saturday. The Ducks host the Maple Leafs on Sunday. ___ AP NHL:
