Mancini was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Monday.
Mancini sustained an upper-body injury against Edmonton on Oct. 26 that forced him to spend several weeks on injured reserve, but he was activated off IR on Friday. However, he didn't appear in any games for the Canucks over the weekend and should have more consistent opportunities to work on his conditioning in the minors. Over five appearances with Vancouver this year, Mancini has recorded no points, six hits, five blocked shots and five PIM while averaging 10:32 of ice time.

Mancini (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Friday.
Mancini hasn't played since Oct. 26 due to the injury. He has no points, three shots, six hits and five blocks in five appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. Mancini might draw back into the lineup now that he's available, potentially at the expense of Tom Willander, but it's also possible that Mancini will be a healthy scratch for Friday's game against Carolina.

Canucks' Victor Mancini: Lands on IR
Rotowire
Mancini (upper body) has been placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Mancini was injured during Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton, and he'll now miss at least the next three games. His placement on IR is retroactive to Oct. 26, so he'll be eligible to return to the lineup in Nashville on Monday. If Quinn Hughes (lower body) is unable to play against the Rangers on Tuesday, Tom Willander, who was recalled from AHL Abbotsford, will be an option to draw into the lineup, likely in a third-pairing capacity.

Canucks' Victor Mancini: Nets power-play goal
Rotowire
Mancini scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Stars.
Mancini has received virtually no power-play time between the Rangers and the Canucks this season, but he was out there in the third period and cashed in just before the game returned to even strength. The goal was Mancini's first as a Canuck and second overall. The defenseman is up to eight points, 27 shots on net, 31 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances. Mancini's spot in the lineup is safe as long as Tyler Myers (undisclosed) is out.

Rotowire
Mancini was traded to the Canucks from the Rangers on Friday, along with Filip Chytil and a protected first-round draft pick, in exchange for J.T. Miller, Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington, Larry Brooks of the New York Post and Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet report.
Mancini is a 22-year-old blueliner who likely has a bright future ahead of him in a shutdown role. He had five points in 15 appearances with the Rangers this season but had been with AHL Hartford since Dec. 18. Mancini added 10 points over 23 outings with the Wolf Pack. He could get a look with the Canucks at some point, as Vincent Desharnais has underwhelmed, but it's unclear exactly where Mancini slots into Vancouver's organizational depth on defense at this time.

He may not play on an every-game basis, but he's proven himself capable of handling a third-pairing role, and he should still get decent playing time since the Rangers are carrying only three right-shot defensemen on the roster.
