Published 10:10 pm Wednesday, October 28, 2026

Make it six straight wins for the scorching Abbotsford Canucks.

The club continued its outstanding October with a 5-2 victory over the San Jose Barracuda in California on Wednesday (Oct. 28).

Abbotsford took over the game early when rookie forward Riley Patterson crashed the net and pounced on a rebound at 2:20 of the first period to put the Canucks up 1-0. Abbotsford’s Ben Berard added another goal at 8:23, but the Barracuda quickly responded with a shorthanded goal from Patrick Giles at 9:31.

The first period ended with the Canucks up 2-1 and San Jose holding an 11-9 shots edge.

The special teams battle again stung Abbotsford early in the second period, as Alex Barre-Boulet connected on the power play at 2:41 to tie the game up. However, red-hot forward Jacob Quillan grabbed the lead back for the Canucks at 9:25 after a set-up from Patterson. Canucks captain Chase Wouters made it 4-2 at 15:47 by beating San Jose goalie Ilya Samsonov with a long distance wrist shot.

Abbotsford led 4-2 after two and controlled the play with a 13-5 shots advantage.

Canucks goalie Ty Young slammed the door in the third period and Abbotsford limited the quality chances in front of him to earn the win. Berard added an empty net goal at 16:02 for a little insurance.

Both teams recorded 26 shots, with Berard leading all Canucks with four. Berard and Patterson had two-point nights, while defender Cole Clayton finished at a +4. San Jose defender Roland McKeown was on the other end of that spectrum and posted a -3. Young made 24 saves for his second win of the season.

Quillan continues to impress and he’s now riding a five-game point streak since he joined Abbotsford earlier this month. He’s recorded five goals and seven points in those five games in Canucks colours. Patterson has also now collected eight points in nine AHL games as a rookie.

The game also featured the return of defenceman Kirill Kudryatsev and the AHL debut of Gabe Chiarot. Rookie forward Braeden Cootes remained out of the lineup on Wednesday.

The six-game win streak is longer than any streak the Canucks had in the 2025-26 season. They maxed out that season at four games. The franchise record is 13 straight games with a win, which was set in the 2024-25 season. Abbotsford sits in first place in the Pacific Division with a record of 6-2-0-1.

Abbotsford continues the road trip in Bakersfield to take on the Condors on Friday (Oct. 30). Face-off is set for 7:10 p.m.

The club returns home for games against the Ontario Reign on Nov. 6 and 7.
