Garland, of all people, jabbed at Calvin Pickard when the Oilers goalie had the puck covered midway through the second period, which ignited a scrum behind the net. Perry quickly got involved. He was about to grab Canucks centre Elias Pettersson until he saw defenceman Quinn Hughes, who’d come in off his point, without a dance partner.

It was another disappointing performance from the Vancouver Canucks as they fell 6-2 to the Edmonton Oilers. Brock Boeser and Filip Hronek provided the goals, while Thatcher Demko stopped 28 of 34 in the loss.
