Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Strong performance again
Merilainen stopped 24 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday. He allowed three goals.
Merilainen has badly outplayed starter, Kevin Lankinen, and is 2-5-1 with a 3.31 GAA and .897 save percentage in nine starts (11 appearances). Those numbers aren't as bad as they look -- the NHL average for save percentage is .891. Merilainen is typically hung out to dry most nights, but he hangs in there and gives the Orcas a chance. Plus his 5.45 GSAx is 16th in the NHL. He's making the most of this opportunity and is worth monitoring for future drafts when the team improves.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Nets goal, has sights on 20 this year
Sasson scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Toronto.
It was his fourth of the season. Sasson has four goals, two assists, 17 shots, 12 blocks, 10 PIM and eight hits. The fourth-liner is heading toward a career high in goals and points, but there isn't enough other category coverage to make a potential 20-goal guy worthy of rostering.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Five points in last four games
Boeser scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Boeser took a perfect pass inside his own zone and took off on a first-period breakaway, getting Anthony Stolarz to bite on a fake shot before pulling the puck around the helpless netminder and going roof. It was his fifth goal this season. Boeser has five points, including three goals, and nine shots in his last four games and 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 16 games on the season. He's already minus-9 overall and appears well on his way to matching his abysmal minus-48 last season. That's a heavy anchor for a near 70-point skater.

Canucks' Anthony Romani: Nets two goals in win
Romani scored twice in Michigan State University's 5-3 win over the University of North Dakota on Saturday.
Romani is up to seven goals and three assists over six games this season. The Vancouver prospect has already produced a pair of multi-goal games this season. The 21-year-old center should continue to be a big part of the Spartans' offense in 2026-27.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: In goal Saturday
Merilainen will tend the home twine versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Jeff Paterson of the Sekeres and Price podcast reports.
Merilainen will make his fourth straight start. He's allowed 12 goals on 81 shots over his last three outings, though he's managed to go 1-2-0 in that span. The 24-year-old netminder looks to have built some trust with head coach Manny Malhotra, but Merilainen's performance lately hasn't made him a reliable fantasy option.

Canucks' Brooks Rogowski: Three assists in OHL win
Rogowski notched three assists in OHL Oshawa's 5-2 win over Brampton on Friday.
Rogowski has leaned heavily on playmaking early in the season, earning a goal and 11 assists over 14 contests. He put up 15 goals and 27 assists over 46 regular-season outings last year. Rogowski is getting his chances with 38 shots on net this season, so he should be able to improve on his finishing touch.

Canucks' Jacob Quillan: Called up Friday
Quillan was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.
Quillan was traded to the Canucks from the Maple Leafs in mid-October, and he remained in the AHL over his first few weeks with the organization. Across his first five appearances with Abbotsford, he's recorded five goals, two assists, two PIM and a plus-8 rating. He'll provide additional depth for Vancouver after Filip Chytil (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Placed on injured reserve
Chytil (upper body) was placed on injured reserve by the Canucks on Friday.
The Canucks announced earlier Friday that Chytil would miss Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs after he aggravated an upper-body injury, and he's facing a multi-game absence after landing on injured reserve. Brendan Gallagher is a candidate to enter the lineup in Chytil's absence, while Jacob Quillan was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Unavailable for Saturday
Chytil (upper body) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Toronto, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
Chytil has two assists in seven outings with Vancouver in 2026-27. Brendan Gallagher is likely to draw into the lineup Saturday due to Chytil's injury.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Not practicing Friday
Chytil didn't participate in Friday's practice session due to an upper-body injury, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Chytil is being evaluated after the team said that he aggravated an upper-body injury that forced him to miss the first eight games of the regular season. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs, but Brendan Gallagher will be a candidate to enter the lineup if Chytil is sidelined.

Canucks' Drew O'Connor: Finds twine Thursday
O'Connor scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.
O'Connor snapped a seven-game slump with the tally. He also saw 17:21 of ice time Thursday, his fourth-highest total of the season. The 28-year-old forward usually plays on a checking line, but he was given second-line duties in this contest. He has four points, 18 shots on net, 21 hits, 14 PIM, 10 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 15 appearances this season, giving him some appeal in banger leagues.

Canucks' Liam Ohgren: Goals in consecutive games
Ohgren scored a goal on three shots, doled out three hits and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.
Ohgren has scored in consecutive games and has three tallies over his last six outings. The 22-year-old winger is up to four goals, three assists, 18 shots on net, 13 hits, six blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-3 rating. While he's gaining some momentum on offense from the third line in recent contests, Ohgren will be tough to trust in fantasy as long as he remains without a power-play role.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Stumbles in third period
Merilainen stopped 21 of 24 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.
Merilainen gave up all three goals in a span of 2:50 during the third period, turning a 2-0 lead into the 3-2 deficit that held to the end of the game. That's not a great look, but this was the first time in his last four outings that he kept a team under four goals. Merilainen is at a 2-4-1 record with a 3.33 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. The Canucks return home to face the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Considering Merilainen has played in a season-high three straight games, Kevin Lankinen may be due for a start soon.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: First goalie off Thursday
Merilainen was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against San Jose.
Merilainen returned to the win column Tuesday against Anaheim for the first time since Oct. 3, and he'll draw a third consecutive start Thursday. Across his nine appearances to begin the regular season, he's gone 2-3-1 with a 3.35 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Dishes two assists in comeback win
Pettersson produced two assists, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Ducks.
Pettersson's point streak is up to five games (two goals, four assists). The center earned his third multi-point effort of the year, chipping in the pair of helpers during the Canucks' comeback surge in the third period and overtime. Pettersson is now at four goals, 11 assists, 20 shots on net, 33 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances. This is the best he's looked in years, but it's still fair to question if he can sustain the hot start all season.

Canucks' Jamie Oleksiak: Initiates comeback effort
Oleksiak scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Ducks.
Oleksiak was scratched Sunday versus the Wild, but he rejoined the lineup in favor of Luke Schenn for this contest. Oleksiak's goal at 12:54 of the third period cut the deficit to 5-3 and set the Canucks on the comeback trail. With Oleksiak sitting twice already this season, head coach Manny Malhotra is establishing a standard for both veterans and younger players alike to meet. Oleksiak is up to two goals, three assists, eight shots on net, 22 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 12 appearances.
