A trio of former Vancouver Canucks players saw their 2026 Stanley Cup Playoff runs come to an end in heartbreaking fashion. Netminder Matthew Pearson, who was traded to the Buffalo Sabres in the offseason, made 40 saves in a losing effort as the Sabres fell to the Montréal Canadiens in Game 7 of their first-round series. Meanwhile, defenseman Brayden Schenn, who was also traded to Buffalo, was unable to capitalize on a strong regular season performance, with the Sabres being eliminated by the Canadiens. The loss marks a disappointing end to the season for the Sabres, who had high hopes for a deep playoff run.
