VANCOUVER – Tristan Jarry stopped all 31 shots he faced for his first shutout in an Oilers jersey as Edmonton trounced the beleaguered Canucks 6-0 in Vancouver on Saturday.
The victory marked Jarry’s 23rd career shutout and his first since Edmonton acquired him from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for goalie Stuart Skinner on Dec. 12.
The Oilers (24-17-8) erupted with six goals in the second period, including four goals on four shots over four minutes and 52 seconds.
Jack Roslovic and Kasperi Kapanen each scored twice, while Zach Hyman and Vasily Podkolzin had a goal apiece. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins contributed a pair of assists in his 999th regular-season game.

Canucks: Held fast in the first period before falling apart in the second. The home side allowed six goals across 13 minutes and 23 seconds and set a new high for goals allowed in a single period this season.
KEY MOMENT
Roslovic sparked the offensive onslaught 3:11 into the second period, chipping a puck toward the net from the bottom of the faceoff circle and sending it squirting through Tolopilo’s legs. Vancouver challenged for goaltender interference but after review, officials determined the goal would stand and the Oilers took a 1-0 lead.

This is the first time the Canucks have gone winless in 10 games since the 1997-98 season.
