Boeser had a goal and two assists, Elias Pettersson also scored, and Conor Garland had two assists and for the Canucks (5-5-0), who ended a three-game losing streak despite playing without injured top defenseman Quinn Hughes. Thatcher Demko made 26 saves.

Hughes is day to day with a lower-body injury sustained late in a 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.

“You can’t replace him. He’s the best,” Sherwood said. “You’ve just got to pull the rope together and stick to our identity we are trying to build each and every day. We took on some water there. Their top guys are going to get some looks but we just stuck together.”

Draisaitl scored twice in his 800th NHL game, and Jack Roslovic had a goal and an assist for the Oilers (4-4-2), who were coming off a 3-2 loss at the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. Pickard made 23 saves for Edmonton, which is 2-4-1 in its past seven games.

“Leon’s a very competitive person and doesn’t take a night off … not too often he’s not pretty darn good,” Knoblauch said. “Obviously he’s frustrated with the way things have been going right now, and we’re not winning more games than we have been, but he’s been a competitor and playing really well and scoring some big goals for us.”

Boeser scored on a breakaway to give Vancouver a 1-0 lead at 15:42 of the first period. Evander Kane won a race to the puck on the boards and made a backhand pass to Boeser in alone for a quick deke and backhand between Pickard’s pads.

Pettersson’s power-play goal extended it to 2-0 at 2:22 of the second period, a one-timer far side past Pickard’s blocker from the right dot.

“A lot of guys out, then a lot of guys are stepping up,” Pettersson said. “Really proud of the team. We played hard and beat a really good team today.”

Sherwood appeared to score with a long rush shot at 9:24, but Edmonton successfully challenged for offside on defenseman Tyler Myers and the goal was overturned.

Draisaitl then cut it to 2-1 on a breakaway at 16:32, firing a shot past Demko’s glove from the hash marks after a pass from Evan Bouchard out of his own end between a pair of Canucks amid a Vancouver line change.

Sherwood made it 3-1 at 19:19 with his first goal of the game, splitting the defense before snapping a shot past Pickard’s blocker from closer range.

“We just stick together through all the ups and downs,” Sherwood said. “The coaches say keep your emotions in check, it’s a long 60 minutes. There are going to be ups and downs and power plays and PKs and stuff. We just have to rely on the strength of the team and get our work boots on.”
