  • Canucks' Elias Lindholm: Out Thursday

    Lindholm (undisclosed) isn't expected to return Thursday versus Dallas, per Farhan Lalji of TSN.

    Lindholm is still day-to-day, so perhaps he'll be an option Sunday against Anaheim. The 29-year-old, who is set to miss his second straight game, has 14 goals and 41 points in 71 outings in 2023-24. Arshdeep Bains is projected to draw into the lineup Thursday due to Lindholm's absence.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Expected to return Thursday

    Joshua (upper body) will be activated off long-term injured reserve and play Thursday versus Dallas, according to Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

    Joshua has 13 goals, 26 points, 46 PIM and 195 hits in 53 contests this season. He was last in the lineup Feb. 13. The 27-year-old is projected to serve on the second line alongside J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser in his return, but Joshua might not be deployed on the power play.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Might be ready Thursday

    Joshua (upper body) could be an option versus Dallas on Thursday, telling reporters, "Yeah, possibly. I'm not sure yet. We'll talk about it and see how the morning goes," per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

    At this point, Joshua should probably be considered a game-time decision heading into Thursday's tilt, though the fact that he skated in a second-line role Wednesday serves as a strong indication he's nearing a return. If he does suit up against the Stars, it would be the 27-year-old winger's first appearance since Feb. 13 versus Chicago, a game in which he racked up three points.

  • Canucks' Thatcher Demko: On long-term injured reserve

    Demko (knee) was moved to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to March 9.

    Demko will be eligible to return for a road game against LA on April 6 at the earliest. He has a 34-13-2 record, 2.47 GAA and .917 save percentage in 49 outings this season. Casey DeSmith is likely to continue to get the bulk of Vancouver's starts during Demko's absence while Arturs Silovs will primarily serve as the backup.

  • Canucks' Arshdeep Bains: Up from minors

    Bains was called up from AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

    Bains' promotion could be an indication that Elias Lindholm (undisclosed) will remain sidelined heading into Thursday's clash with Dallas. The 23-year-old Bains has played in just five NHL games this season in which he's tallied three shots, five hits and six PIM while averaging 12:57 of ice time.

  • Canucks' Ian Cole: Registers assist in loss

    Cole notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

    Cole set up a Sam Lafferty tally in the first period. The 35-year-old Cole had been out of the lineup for the previous two games, though his lack of a scoring touch means that wasn't an issue for most fantasy managers. For the season, the hard-nosed defenseman has 10 points, 57 shots on net, 73 hits, 147 blocked shots, 57 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 69 appearances.

  • Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Pockets assist in loss

    Hughes notched an assist and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

    After fading late in February, Hughes has bounced back with a goal and 10 helpers over 10 contests in March. The defenseman set up a Brock Boeser tally in the third period of Monday's loss. Hughes is up to 81 points, 169 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-39 rating through 72 appearances. He needs just two more assists to reach 70 for the first time in his career, and just one more point would guarantee him a point-per-game campaign for the first time.

  • Canucks' J.T. Miller: Deals helper in loss

    Miller notched an assist and seven hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

    Miller helped out on a Brock Boeser goal late in the third period. The 31-year-old Miller has remained steady with nine points, 26 shots on net and 33 hits over 10 contests in March, though his scoring pace is down slightly this month. For the season, he's racked up 91 points (35 on the power play), 170 shots, 200 hits, 49 PIM and a plus-29 rating through 72 appearances. Just sustaining his scoring pace in March through the end of the season would be good enough to give Miller his first 100-point campaign.

  • Canucks' Sam Lafferty: Tallies in loss

    Lafferty scored a goal on two shots and doled out eight hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

    Lafferty was one of four Canucks with five or more hits in the contest, but their physicality didn't intimidate the Kings. The goal was Lafferty's first since Feb. 22, and he has just two points over his last 13 games. For the season, the 29-year-old winger is at 23 points, 71 shots on net, 155 hits and a plus-8 rating through 69 appearances.

  • Canucks' Brock Boeser: Strikes late in loss

    Boeser scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

    Boeser cut the deficit to one goal with 2:53 left in the third period, but the Canucks couldn't find an equalizer. The winger's scoring pace has dropped significantly in March -- he has two goals and six points over 10 contests this month, and he's gone 12 games without a multi-point effort. For the season, Boeser has 37 tallies, 31 helpers. 186 shots on net and a plus-24 rating through 72 appearances.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Takes loss Monday

    DeSmith allowed three goals on 19 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

    DeSmith was done in by giving up two goals over a span of 1:51 late in the second period. This was his first loss in four outings. The 32-year-old is down to 11-6-6 with a 2.73 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 25 appearances. The Canucks have another tough matchup coming up as they host the Stars on Thursday.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Guarding crease Monday

    DeSmith will get the starting nod Monday at home against the Kings, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

    DeSmith has won three straight games while yielding just five goals on 58 shots during that stretch. The 32-year-old is 3-1-1 with a 2.22 GAA in his last five starts since Thatcher Demko (knee) was injured. DeSmith is 11-5-6 with an .899 save percentage through 24 games this season.

  • Canucks' Elias Lindholm: Unavailable Monday

    Lindholm (undisclosed) will not suit up Monday against the Kings, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Lindholm may have picked up an injury Saturday against the Flames but it's unclear what he's dealing with. Fortunately, he's considered day-to-day, so he could return as early as Thursday against the Stars. The 29-year-old has five goals and nine points through 22 games since joining Canucks.

  • Canucks' Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Headed for North America

    Lekkerimaki will make the jump to North America, joining AHL Abbotsford from Orebro HK (Sweden), the club announced Monday.

    Lekkerimaki -- who was selected 15th overall in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft -- has been lighting it up in Sweden with 19 goals and 12 assists in 46 games for Orebro. The move to North America could open the door for the 19-year-old winger to at least get a look during training camp ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, though it's possible he'll need to begin the season with Abbotsford.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Back at practice

    Joshua (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Sunday.

    Joshua is on long-term injured reserve and hasn't played since Feb. 13. He'll likely need a few practice sessions before returning to the lineup, but he appears to be getting close. The 27-year-old has 13 goals and 26 points through 53 games this season.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Pockets two helpers

    Pettersson notched two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over Calgary.

    Pettersson provided both primary helpers on Nils Hoglander's goals, which were the first two tallies of the contest. The 25-year-old Pettersson also added two hits, one shot on goal, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating in 19:44 of ice time. For the month of March, Pettersson has been on a point-a-game pace as he has provided four goals and five assists over nine games played. With 84 points through 71 contests, Petterson is a top-tier center and a must-start fantasy player.
