Vancouver Canucks’ Pierre-Olivier Joseph Stumbles After Play

Clayton Keller recorded his third career hat trick to lead the Mammoth to a 7-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on April 5, 2026.

Keller’s performance included his first three-goal game of the current season, which began with a goal scored during a disputed power play.

The game featured Pierre-Olivier Joseph for the Vancouver Canucks, who was seen stumbling during the contest.

Joseph is a Canadian professional defenceman born on July 1, 1999, in Laval, Quebec. He was originally drafted 23rd overall by the Arizona Coyotes in the 2017 NHL entry draft and has previously played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and St. Louis Blues.

Recent Canucks Performance

The loss to the Mammoth follows another recent defeat for Vancouver. On April 3, 2026, the Canucks suffered a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild.

That matchup was notable as it marked the first time the Canucks played against former captain Quinn Hughes since his trade in December. Hughes, now with the Minnesota Wild, recorded a goal and an assist in that game.

In the game against Minnesota, Tom Willander and Jake DeBrusk scored the only two goals for Vancouver. Nikita Tolopilo served as the goaltender, stopping 32 of 34 shots in his 14th start of the season.

The Canucks struggled with turnovers during the Minnesota game, with three of the opposing team’s goals resulting from Vancouver defencemen failing to properly clear the puck.

Brock Boeser had been showing strong form leading into that contest, having recorded three goals and one assist the previous night.

The Minnesota game also highlighted the impact of Liam Öhgren, a former Wild forward acquired by Vancouver in the blockbuster deal. Öhgren utilized his forechecking during a Vancouver penalty kill to force the puck back into the offensive zone and draw a penalty, which helped the Canucks briefly take a 2-1 lead.
