Conor Garland played for the Vancouver Canucks against the New York Rangers, which ended in a close loss. Garland stayed focused while managing the emotions of his wife, Meghan, who was about to give birth to their first child. The couple, married in 2023, is preparing to welcome their baby.
Garland’s day began at the hospital, where he spent hours with his wife. Unsure about playing, Garland decided to be with his team. Canucks coach Rick Tocchet praised Garland’s dedication, calling him the team’s best player that night.
"He's gonna probably have a baby here soon. Was up at 3 in the morning. Was up again at 7. No sleep, and he was our best player. What can you say? You love the kid,” Tocchet said.
