Justin MacKinnon and Dylan Reinheimer both had a goal and two assists.
Tyler Weiss picked up the win in net, stopping 23 of 28 shots.
The win brought the Canucks record this year to 6-2-1.
Up next for the Canucks was a date with the St. Boniface Riels on Oct.24 at Southdale Arena.
The Canucks struggled to get the offence going, losing 4-3.
Mitchell Lockhart, Dylan Reinheimer and Nick Stire scored goals for the Canucks. David Friesen chipped in with two assists.
The loss dropped the Canucks record to 6-3-1.
After the loss to the Riels, the Canucks kicked off a two game home stand with a 5-3 win over the Transcona Railer Express on Oct. 28 at the Civic Centre.
Mitchell Lockhart continued his hot start to the year recording two goals and Graham Philp had a goal and an assist in his first game back from injury. David Friesen, Nick Stire and Adam Thurlbeck all had two assists in the game.
Nathan Cvar allowed three goals on 18 shots, picking up his first win of the season.
The Canucks followed up their win over the Railer Express with a 5-3 win over the Raiders on Oct. 30. Mitchell Lockhart had a hat trick in the game, with Nicholas Pierce and Chris Sass scoring the other two goals.
It was an interesting game between the pipes as Nathan Cvar started but left due to injury late in the third. Call-up Klavs Eglitis relieved Cvar late in the third with the Canucks holding a one goal lead and stopped all four shots he faced in the final 5:40. Cvar picked up the win, stopping 25 of 28 shots.
The win brought the Canucks’ record to 8-3-1, putting them in a three-way tie for first place with Stonewall and Charleswood, whose game was delayed on the same day due to ice conditions.
