Mackenzie Blackwood making 29 saves for the win in goal.<\/p>\n<p>Linus Karlsson, Kiefer Sherwood, Drew O&rsquo;Connor and Jake DeBrusk tallied for the Canucks (8-8-1) in the back-and-forth contest. Kevin Lankinen, starting on back-to-back nights, took the loss between the pipes for Vancouver, making 27 stops.<\/p>\n<p>MacKinnon opened the scoring 6:41 into the first period, taking a nice feed from Valeri Nichushkin and finding a wide-open net behind Lankinen to extend his point-scoring streak to nine games.<\/p>\n<p>He scored again on the power play shortly thereafter, making it his 58th career two-goal game.<\/p>\n<p>The Canucks battled back, with Karlsson scoring his first of the year, making a nifty move to bring the puck from below the goal-line and between his own feat to beat Blackwood.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Linus Karlsson really did that. \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wlrpfVXN22\">pic.twitter.com\/wlrpfVXN22<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Canucks\/status\/1987726914375836104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Colorado held a 2-1 advantage after 20 minutes, despite being outshot 17-9.<\/p>\n<p>The red-hot Sherwood scored the only goal of the season period, his 10th of the season, slipping a backhand past Blackwood at 1:44. Vancouver held a 26-16 shots advantage after two periods.<\/p>\n<p>Lehkonen gave Colorado a 3-2 lead just 28 seconds into the third, deflecting in a nice pass from Brett Burns.<\/p>\n<p>O&rsquo;Connor evened things at 3-3 seven minutes later with a shorthanded tally, racing down the left win and firing a rolling puck over the glove of Blackwood. O&rsquo;Connor hads seven points in his last six games, and it was his second shorthanded marker of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Lehkonen restored the Colorado lead on the power play at 9:47, knocking home a rebound off a Martin Necas one-timer.<\/p>\n<p>Yet again the Canucks answered back, making it 4-4 on the power play at 16:59, tipping home a pass from Brock Boeser. It was DeBrusk&rsquo;s fifth of the year, with four coming on the power play.<\/p>\n<p>Brindley banged home his own rebound after a rink-length dash for the OT winner.<\/p>\n<p>The Canucks are back in
