Canucks' Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Dropped to minors
Lekkerimaki was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
During his recent stint at the NHL level, Lekkerimaki played in four straight games while posting one assist, one shot on net, one hit and one blocked shot. He has three goals and five points in five AHL appearances this season.

Canucks' Evander Kane: Notches helper in win
Kane put up an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
This was Kane's return from a forearm laceration that cost him one game. The 34-year-old continues to play in a top-six role and on the power play, and his contributions will be important as injuries remain a significant hindrance for the Canucks. Kane is up to five goals, 10 helpers, 72 shots on net, 51 hits, 44 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 28 contests this season.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Deposits go-ahead goal in win
Pettersson scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
Pettersson ended an 11-game point drought with the tally. The 21-year-old has seen fairly limited usage this season, and he's still prone to getting scratched on occasion. Pettersson has a goal, three points, 16 shots on net, 33 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 26 appearances this season, numbers nearly identical to what he did over 28 outings in 2024-25.

Canucks' Tom Willander: Nets first career goal in win
Willander scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
Willander tied the game at 1-1 with his tally midway through the second period. He also set up Elias Pettersson's go-ahead goal a couple of minutes later. The goal was the first of Willander's career, and he continues to do fairly well in a limited role on the third pairing. He's at eight points, 14 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 19 appearances.

Canucks' Aatu Raty: Puts up three points in win
Raty scored twice, dished an assist, added two PIM, doled out four hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
Raty's best game in his career came at a good time, as the Canucks were missing top center Elias Pettersson (upper body). With five points over three games in December, Raty's already enjoying his most productive month of the season. The 23-year-old is up to three goals, eight helpers, 21 shots on net, 61 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 26 outings overall. Even when the Canucks get some forwards back from injuries, Raty has done enough to compete for a bottom-six role for the rest of the campaign.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Steps up in win
Tolopilo stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
Tolopilo was sharp in this outing and got enough help from his teammates to come away with the win. He allowed the first and last goals in the game, but the Canucks had the four in the middle. Tolopilo is 2-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 95 shots over his first three outings this season. He'll likely be with the team until Thatcher Demko (lower body) is healthy again, which may not take much longer, as Demko is targeting Thursday's game versus the Sabres for his return.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Sitting out Saturday
Pettersson (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Wild, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Pettersson left warmups before line rushes started. The 27-year-old's absence will have a ripple effect throughout the Canucks' lineup, allowing Jonathan Lekkerimaki to stay in after he was previously in line to be scratched. Pettersson's status should be updated during or after Saturday's contest.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Unavailable Saturday
Joseph (illness) will miss Saturday's game against Minnesota, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Joseph was also absent from Friday's 4-1 loss to Utah. He has an assist in 11 outings this season. Joseph will be an option for the third pairing once he's healthy, but he probably won't play regularly.

Canucks' Anthony Romani: Pots pair Saturday
Romani scored two goals in Michigan State University's 3-1 win over the University of Michigan on Saturday.
Romani helped the Spartans salvage a weekend split with their in-state rivals, sending the Wolverines to just their fourth loss of the season. Over 16 appearances this season, Romani is up to five goals and 10 points, as well as a plus-4 rating. He's likely to continue being a complementary piece of the puzzle for Michigan State in his first year with the team.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Continues skating, no timeline
Chytil (upper body) has skated four consecutive days, but he remains without a timeline to return, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports Saturday.
Chytil has been skating for a while, and he's had no setbacks, but the Canucks are being cautious with his recovery. At this time, it's unclear if he'll be back before the end of December, but he appears to be making slow and steady progress.

Canucks' Evander Kane: Set to return Saturday
Kane (forearm laceration) is good to return Saturday against Minnesota, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
Kane has five goals, 14 points, 44 PIM and 50 hits in 27 appearances with the Canucks this season. With Kane drawing back into the lineup following his one-game absence, Jonathan Lekkerimaki is set to be a healthy scratch.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Getting start Saturday
Tolopilo will start at home versus the Wild on Saturday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Tolopilo will start the second half of a back-to-back after Kevin Lankinen was in goal for a 4-1 loss to the Mammoth on Friday. This will be a tough task for Tolopilo, who may struggle to get goal support. The Wild have scored 13 goals over their last six games, but they are 4-1-1 in that span.

Canucks' Arshdeep Bains: Prevents shutout Friday
Bains scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.
Bains cut the deficit to 2-1 at 4:17 of the third period, denying Karel Vejmelka a chance at consecutive shutouts. Bains has a goal and an assist over the last two games, though he remains in a fourth-line role. The 24-year-old winger is up to five points, 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 23 appearances this season.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Poor performance in loss
Lankinen allowed three goals on 17 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Lankinen is now 0-4-1 with 17 goals allowed during his five-game losing streak. The Mammoth were able to pot a goal in each period against the 30-year-old netminder. For the season, Lankinen has slipped to 4-9-3 with a 3.45 GAA and an .881 save percentage across 16 appearances. While he's getting plenty of playing time, his performance is too risky in fantasy. Nikita Tolopilo is likely to draw a tough start Saturday at home versus the Wild.

Canucks' Conor Garland: Set to return Friday
Garland (upper body) will be in the lineup Friday versus the Mammoth, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Garland's return from a two-game absence will see him slot back into a top-six role. The 29-year-old winger will essentially replace Evander Kane (forearm) in the lineup Friday. Garland had two points over four games prior to his most recent injury absence.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Won't play Friday
Joseph (illness) is not expected to be available to face Utah on Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Joseph was unavailable to practice Thursday due to his illness and will now be on the shelf for Friday's matchup. In the 26-year-old blueliner's 11 outings this year, he has failed to find the back of the net, earning one helper, 10 shots and four hits. Joseph will face a tough turnaround to be ready to square off with Minnesota in the second game of the back-to-back Saturday.
