Vancouver took a 1-0 lead at 6:34 of the first period.

Phillip Di Giuseppe left the puck for Miller along the wall in the Anaheim zone, and Miller skated into the right circle before sending a cross-ice pass to Filip Hronek. His one-timer was saved, but the puck fell in the crease and Boeser shot it into the net.

The Canucks went on a power play 47 seconds into the second period and Gibson made a save on Miller's breakaway 55 seconds later to help Anaheim kill the penalty.

The Ducks then went on a power play and Strome received a pass in the right circle with room. He took a couple of strides toward the net before scoring with a wrist shot to tie it 1-1 at 5:10 of the second.

The Canucks grabbed a 2-1 lead 32 seconds into the third period.

Pettersson scored on a wraparound after Gibson lost sight of the puck while engaged with a Vancouver forward Andrei Kuzmenko, a 39-goal scorer last season who was a healthy scratch the previous two games.

Boeser scored his league-leading 17th goal of the season into an empty net to make it 3-1 with 48 seconds left.

Canucks right winger Ilya Mikheyev had to be helped off the ice with 8:54 left in the third period after blocking a shot.

The Canucks traded left winger Anthony Beauvillier to the Chicago Blackhawks a couple hours before the game in exchange for a conditional fifth-round draft pick in the 2024 draft.

The Ducks played without defenseman Radko Gudas, who sustained a knee injury in an 8-2 road defeat against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Anaheim lost another defenseman when Ilya Lyubushkin did not come out for the second period because of an upper-body injury.

The 11-game point streak by Vancouver's Quinn Hughes came to an end. It was tied for the longest such stretch in franchise history by a defenseman.
