2024–25 Vancouver Canucks season

The 2024–25 Vancouver Canucks season was the 55th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on May 22, 1970.

The Canucks failed to improve upon their 2023–24 season (in which the Canucks finished first in the Pacific Division but lost in the second round of the playoffs to the Edmonton Oilers), as the 2024-2025 Canucks were eliminated from playoff contention on April 9, 2025 after the Minnesota Wild defeated the San Jose Sharks in overtime. The Canucks set a franchise record for the most overtime losses in a season with 14, which also matched the Calgary Flames for the most overtime losses during the regular season.
