Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Dishes two assists in comeback win
Rotowire
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.
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.

Canucks' Liam Ohgren: Buries goal in high-scoring win
Rotowire
Ohgren scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Ducks.
Ohgren was in his second game back after sitting out as a healthy scratch last Thursday versus the Red Wings. The 22-year-old started the year hot with four points over three games, but the Canucks' lineup shuffles have made it difficult for him to build momentum. Overall, he has three goals, three assists, 15 shots on net, 10 hits, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 13 appearances in a middle-six role.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Completes comeback in overtime
Rotowire
Hronek scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Ducks.
Hronek's goal was his first of the year, and it completed a comeback from a 5-2 deficit for the Canucks. This was also his first multi-point effort since Oct. 1 versus the Oilers. Hronek has maintained a presence on the first pairing and top power-play unit for the Canucks throughout the campaign. He has 10 points (five on the power play), 14 shots on net, 18 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 14 appearances. If he continues being Vancouver's top blueliner, Hronek could top the 50-point mark for the first time in his career.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Wrangles three points in overtime win
Rotowire
Boeser scored a goal on six shots, dished two assists (one on the power play), added four hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Ducks.
This was the second multi-point effort of the year for Boeser. The winger played on the top line at even strength in addition to his usual spot on the first power-play unit. While his offense hasn't been explosive, he has gotten on the scoresheet in seven of the last nine games. He's at four goals, eight assists, 22 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-7 rating through 14 appearances on the year.

Canucks' Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Takes charge in comeback win
Rotowire
Lekkerimaki scored twice on four shots and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Ducks.
Lekkerimaki scored twice in the final three minutes of regulation before helping out on Filip Hronek's tally in overtime. With seven points over his last five games, Lekkerimaki is starting to shine in a top-six role. He's at six goals, six assists, 23 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances this season. It won't go that well all year for the 22-year-old, but this is shaping up to be his breakout year in Vancouver.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Surrenders five goals in overtime win
Rotowire
Merilainen stopped 18 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Ducks.
Merilainen's performance didn't inspire much confidence, but he was able to lock in late as the Canucks pulled off an improbable comeback. This was his first win since Oct. 3 versus the Flames. The 24-year-old netminder is 2-3-1 with a 3.35 GAA and a .900 save percentage across nine games (seven starts) this season. Merilainen is still a massively risky option in fantasy even if he's able to run with the starting job in Vancouver. The Canucks' next game is Thursday in San Jose.
Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Guarding goal in Anaheim
Rotowire
Merilainen will protect the road goal versus the Ducks on Tuesday, Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor reports.
Merilainen will start consecutive games for the first time in about two weeks. He'll get the nod despite having lost his last four outings with a total of 15 goals allowed in that span. The Ducks have won just one of their last six games, scoring 14 times during that stretch, so this could be a chance for Merilainen to return to the win column.
Sasson scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
Sasson has earned three points over his last six games. That's not bad work for a depth forward, but he doesn't add enough else to be a major player in fantasy. He has a total of three goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 13 appearances this season.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Lights lamp in loss
Rotowire
Boeser scored a goal, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
Boeser has two goals and three assists over his last six games, with three of those five points coming on the power play. The winger is at nine points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-9 rating through 13 appearances. Boeser often averages well over two shots per game, so his sluggish start in that area is a bit of a concern. He can still make an impact with the man advantage, where he's earned six of his points, but he needs to be a little more selfish as a winger who has topped the 20-goal mark in seven of his nine full seasons.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: No match for Wild
Rotowire
Merilainen allowed four goals on 34 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.
Merilainen again had to make 30-plus saves, but the Canucks' late-arriving offense didn't pull off a comeback. The 24-year-old is down to 1-3-1 with a 3.13 GAA and a .912 save percentage over eight games. Those numbers tell two stories -- one, that he's doing generally well against a lot of traffic, and two, that he's not getting much help from his teammates. Such is life on a rebuilding team. Merilainen and Kevin Lankinen have alternated starts lately, and if that pattern holds, it would be Lankinen in goal in Anaheim on Tuesday while Merilainen would be tasked with slowing down Macklin Celebrini and the Sharks on Thursday.
Fix-Wolansky scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Abbotsford's 4-2 win over Calgary on Sunday.
Fix-Wolansky is off to another strong start in the AHL with three goals and six assists over eight contests. He's earned five of his nine points across the last three games. The veteran depth forward probably won't get many chances with the big club despite his long track record of success in the AHL.

Canucks' Jacob Quillan: Nets hat trick for Abbotsford
Rotowire
Quillan scored three goals in AHL Abbotsford's 4-2 win over Calgary on Sunday.
Quillan has earned four goals and two assists over four games since Vancouver acquired him from Toronto. He remains in the AHL for now, but if he continues to score at a high rate, he could get a call-up.

Canucks' Jack Thompson: Surfaces on waivers
Rotowire
Thompson (undisclosed) was placed on waivers Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Thompson started the 2026-27 campaign on Vancouver's non-roster injured list. Now that he's healthy, he will likely head to AHL Abbotsford if he clears waivers. Thompson notched six goals and 25 points in 56 AHL regular-season appearances between Abbotsford and San Jose in 2025-26.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Set to face Minnesota
Rotowire
Merilainen is expected to protect the home net against the Wild on Sunday, per Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor.
Merilainen is 0-2-1 in his last three starts, surrendering 11 goals on 120 shots over that span. In seven appearances this season, he has stopped 187 of 204 shots for a 1-2-1 record. Minnesota (7-3-2) ranks 16th in the league this campaign with 3.08 goals per game.
Rossi posted an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Rossi missed the previous two games due to an illness. He snapped a seven-game point drought by helping out on a Jonathan Lekkerimaki tally in this contest. Rossi has three goals, two assists, 16 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-4 rating through 10 appearances this season. He can do better on offense and will be a fringe candidate to be rostered in standard fantasy formats.
