  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Finds twine Friday

    Joshua scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

    Joshua snapped a five-game point drought with his second-period tally, which held up as the game-winner. The 27-year-old didn't get moved up amid the Canucks' lineup shuffle Friday, but he was able to get on the scoresheet. He's at three goals, three assists, 22 shots on net, 57 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 20 contests, primarily filling a third-line role.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Two points in win

    Joshua tallied a goal and an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over Montreal.

    Joshua extended Vancouver's lead to 3-0 late in the second period, backhanding a loose puck past Jake Allen for his first goal since the Canucks' Oct. 11 season opener. He added a second point with an assist on Brock Boeser's empty-netter in the third. The 27-year-old Joshua now has four points (a goal and three assists) in his last five games following an eight-game scoring drought. He's up to five points (two goals, three assists) through 14 games in a bottom-six role this season.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Helpers in consecutive contests

    Joshua notched an assist, five hits and two PIM in Monday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

    Joshua has a helper in each of the last two games. He was scratched Thursday versus the Sharks, but he's since responded well upon rejoining the lineup. The 27-year-old winger has three points, 32 hits, 11 shots on net, 13 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances. He'll likely continue to see fairly steady bottom-six minutes, though he needs to remain a physical force to stay on head coach Rick Tocchet's good side.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Responds well to scratch

    Joshua logged an assist and seven hits in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Stars.

    Joshua was scratched for Thursday's 10-1 blowout win over the Sharks, but head coach Rick Tocchet put him back in the lineup just one game later. The 27-year-old Joshua did his part, setting up a Pius Suter goal in the second period and adding a season-high hit total in a close contest. Joshua hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since Opening Night versus the Oilers. The winger has two points, 27 hits, 11 PIM, 10 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 10 appearances.

    Joshua scored a goal on two shots, added seven PIM and doled out two hits in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Oilers.

    Joshua begins 2023-24 in his familiar bottom-six role. He was able to tack on the Canucks' last goal in the blowout victory. The 27-year-old broke out for 23 points, 60 PIM and 222 hits in 79 contests last season, though it's unlikely he'll play above the third line this year.

Joshua has 11 goals, 12 assists, 68 shots on net, 216 hits, 60 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 76 outings this season.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Snaps seven-game slump

    Joshua scored a goal on four shots and doled out seven hits in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.

    Joshua extended the Canucks' lead to 3-1 in the third period, though it didn't stick. The 26-year-old's seven hits matched his season high, and it's his physicality that keeps him on the fringe of fantasy rosters in deep formats. He entered Monday with no points in his last seven games, but he's had a career year with nine goals and six helpers through 60 contests. Joshua has added 159 hits, 53 shots on net, 54 PIM and a minus-15 rating.

    Joshua helped out on a Nils Aman tally in the second period. This was Joshua's fourth point in the last six games, a span in which he also has 19 hits. The 26-year-old is doing fairly well in a third-line role lately, and he's up to 13 points, 46 shots on net, 120 hits, 52 PIM and a minus-14 rating through 49 outings overall. While he's already secured a career year in most areas, he's still not productive enough to help in a majority of fantasy formats.

The 26-year-old has a career-high 12 points with 111 hits, 50 PIM, 44 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 46 appearances this season.

The 26-year-old Joshua is up to 11 points, 42 shots on net, 107 hits, 50 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 45 contests. His physical play could make him worth a look in deep fantasy formats if he can keep up this offense, but it's not expected that will happen.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Lights lamp Tuesday

    Joshua scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and logged five PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

    This was Joshua's first goal since he scored twice versus the Sharks on Dec. 7.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Career night in overtime win

    Joshua scored twice on five shots and added a fighting major in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sharks.

    Joshua missed two games with an undisclosed injury, but he made a bunch of noise in his return. He scored twice in the first period, with the latter goal coming on the power play, and he added a fight with Radim Simek between the goals. Joshua nearly had a hat trick, but his potential goal in the second period was overturned for goalie interference. This was the 26-year-old's first multi-goal game, and he's up to six tallies, two assists, 24 shots on net, 37 PIM, 55 hits and a minus-1 rating through 24 contests.
