Nine former Vancouver Canucks will make their returns to Rogers Arena for the first time since parting ways with the organization come the start of the 2026–27 season. Two of these games will take place in October, two in November, four in December, and one in January. Here’s a look at when each of these former Canucks will make their return to Vancouver Quinn Hughes, Minnesota Wild: October 25 The first former Canuck to make his return to Vancouver in the 2026–27 season is none-other than ex-captain Quinn Hughes. The defenceman has not returned to Rogers Arena since being traded by the Canucks in December of 2025, with his final game in Vancouver having been a 3–2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Having been drafted by Vancouver in 2018 and spent two seasons as the Canucks’ captain, Hughes’ return to BC will likely be well-attended. Hughes and the Wild will also return to Rogers Arena for a Saturday night matchup on November 21. Teddy Blueger, Toronto Maple Leafs: October 31 Blueger, who signed a two-year contract with the Maple Leafs in free-agency, will return to Vancouver on October 31 for a 4:00 pm Saturday game. The forward spent three seasons with the Canucks and emerged as one of the leaders in Vancouver’s dressing room towards the end of the 2025–26 season. This will be the lone time Blueger returns to Vancouver in 2026–27, though the Canucks will face the Maple Leafs again on March 13 in Toronto. Danila Klimovich, Philadelphia Flyers: November 9While he never played an NHL game for the Canucks, Klimovich was the team’s second-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and managed to tie the Abbotsford Canucks’ franchise record in career goals scored by the end of the 2025–26 season. He signed a one-year deal with Philadelphia after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Canucks. Depending on whether he makes the Flyers’ NHL roster or not, he could return to Vancouver on November 9. Marcus Pettersson, New York Rangers: November 13Pettersson only spent one season with the Canucks before being traded to the Rangers in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2030 NHL Entry Draft. During his time with Vancouver in 2025–26, the defenceman averaged 21:27 minutes played while being one of only three Canucks to skate in all 82 games. Pettersson and fellow former Canuck J.T. Miller will visit Vancouver on November 13. Tyler Myers, Dallas Stars: December 5Myers spent nearly seven seasons with the Canucks before he was traded to Dallas in March. The veteran defenceman was the fourth longest-tenured Canuck prior to being traded, playing in a collective total of 488 games during his time with Vancouver. He’ll make his return to Rogers Arena on December 5 in the Stars’ lone visit to Vancouver.
