Schedule and results
Preseason
The Canucks released their pre-season schedule on July 20, 2021.
Regular season
The regular season schedule was released on July 22, 2021, with only a handful of games originally scheduled in February because NHL players were planning to participate in the
2022 Winter Olympics.
As the result of an outbreak of COVID-19 that affected multiple teams and reduced attendance capacity in Canadian NHL cities, the league pulled out of the Olympics after postponing nearly 100 games in order to finish the regular season by April 29. Most the postponed games were made up during the initially scheduled Olympic break in February.
