Rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer and BC product Mathew Barzal each had two assists. Ilya Sorokin stopped 29 shots.
Duclair has seven goals in his last seven games after scoring four in his first 38 appearances this season.
Max Sasson, Evander Kane and Drew O’Connor scored for the NHL-worst Canucks (16-28-5), who have lost eight straight games in regulation. They are 0-9-2 during the losing streak and still winless in 2026.
Kevin Lankinen made 28 saves for Vancouver, which fell to 4-14-3 at Rogers Arena and hasn’t won at home since Dec. 6.
Sasson gave the Canucks an early lead, scoring 2:49 into the game, and Kane gave them a 2-1 lead with his eighth goal of the season before the end of the first period.

But the Canucks gave up two goals in 1:24 late in the second period and couldn’t recover in the third despite a late goal from O’Connor.
Pulock gave the Islanders a 3-2 lead when he took a pass from Schaefer at the top of the slot and sent a shot over Lankinen.
Earlier today, Vancouver traded winger Kiefer Sherwood to the San Jose Sharks for defenseman Cole Clayton and second-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027.
