Brock Boeser scored a dramatic overtime goal with less than two seconds remaining in overtime, giving the Vancouver Canucks a 5-4 win over the host Nashville Predators Monday at Bridgestone Arena. After a board battle, Boeser got a pass from forward Elias Pettersson and backhanded the winner past Nashville goalie Juuse Saros. It was Boeser’s sixth goal of the season, second of the game and fourth career OT tally. “I think it’s a huge win for our team,” said Boeser after the game. Evander Kane also had two goals for the winners (7-7-0), with Jake DeBrusk adding a single. Thatcher Demko made 25 saves to earn the win in goal. Filip Forsberg, Erik Haula, Michael Bunting and Nick Blankenburg replied for the Preds (5-6-3). Saros made 3o saves and took the loss. > BROCK WITH THE BUZZER BEATER❗️ pic.twitter.com/B8Mz6qIxen > [https://t.co/B8Mz6qIxen] > > — Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) November 4, 2025 > [https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/1985563672882598201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Forsberg opened the scoring at 6:47 of the first, tapping in his own rebound in front of Demko. The Canucks pulled even at 14:45, when Kane took a feed from Arshdeep Bains inside the right point and ripped a one-timer past Saros. Shots after one period were 12-4 in favour of Vancouver. The Canucks took a 2-1 lead 12:57 into the second, when DeBrusk deflected Boeser’s pass behind Saros on the power play. All three of DeBrusk’s goals this season have come with the man advantage.l Vancouver upped the lead to 3-1 two minutes later when Boeser scored his fifth of the season, picking up a puck in the slot after a winding foray from rookie Tom Willander. The youngster picked up an assist on the play for his first NHL point. At 18:45, the Preds pulled within one on Haula’s power-play marker. He took a slot feed from Forsberg and fired a shot high past Demko. It was Haula’s first goal in 10 games and third of the year. Kane restored the two-goal margin on a delayed penalty at 3:02, knocking in a cross-crease pass from Linus Karlsson to make it 4-2. With 8:08 remaining, Spencer Stastney’s point shot was directed behind Demko off the foot of Bunting to pull Nashville within 4-3. Blankenburg pulled Nashville even on the power play at 16:38, with an assist going to Nanaimo’s Matthew Wood. The Canucks return home Wednesday to host the Chicago Blackhawks (7 p.m.) and then the Columbus Blue Jackets come to B.C. on Saturday (7 p.m.) at Rogers Arena. NOTES: The Canucks had captain Quinn Hughes back in the lineup after he missed four games with a lower body injury. He had six shots on goal and played more than 28 minutes… Boeser and DeBrusk also had six shots apiece for Vancouver… The Canucks were 2-for-3 on the power play, while the Preds were 2-for-4.
