Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Suffers lower-body injury
Hoglander is being evaluated Wednesday after sustaining a lower-body injury during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to San Jose, per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.
Hoglander has two assists, six PIM, 18 shots and 28 hits in 18 appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. If he can't play Thursday versus Anaheim, then David Kampf might draw into the lineup.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Garners two helpers in loss
DeBrusk notched two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
DeBrusk has earned a goal and four helpers over his last four games. He's on the top line currently, which gives him a little more scoring potential. The 29-year-old winger is up to 27 points (14 on the power play), 144 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-12 rating through 52 appearances. DeBrusk can be streaky, so have a backup plan ready if his offense turns cold again.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Dishes pair of assists
Pettersson logged two assists, two hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
Pettersson has picked up four helpers over his last three games. The center is up to 33 points (11 on the power play), 86 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 42 hits and a minus-15 rating over 45 appearances. He's had a decent season on a bad team, and his 75 blocks rank best among all NHL forwards, so he can still help in category coverage even if his offense is shaky.

Canucks' Tom Willander: Opens scoring in loss
Willander scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
Willander missed Sunday's game versus the Penguins due to an illness, but he made a quick impact in his return to the lineup. Willander may see steadier playing time going forward while Zeev Buium (face) is out of action. Willander has three goals, 15 points, 37 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 41 appearances this season. Considering he's in a third-pairing role on a bad team, he's done fairly well on offense as a rookie.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Nets power-play tally
Hronek scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
Hronek has two goals and two helpers over the last five games. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to be steady enough on offense to make up for the downsides of playing on a bad team. Hronek is at five goals, 31 points, 74 shots on net, 81 hits, 73 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 53 appearances. He'll go uncontested for the top power-play job while Zeev Buium (face) is on injured reserve, making Hronek a quality all-around target in fantasy.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Allows two goals in relief outing
Tolopilo gave up two goals on 27 shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
Tolopilo was able to stabilize things after Lankinen was pulled just 5:55 into the game with the Canucks down 3-1. Both goals Tolopilo allowed came on San Jose power plays. For the season, Tolopilo is 2-3-0 with a 3.72 GAA and an .887 save percentage in seven appearances. He's been alternating between the NHL and AHL, sharing the backup role in Vancouver with Jiri Patera, so it's unclear if Tolopilo will see enough time or perform well enough to warrant consideration in fantasy.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Pulled early Tuesday
Lankinen stopped three of six shots before he was relieved by Nikita Tolopilo in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
Lankinen was pulled 5:55 into the game with the Canucks already trailing 3-1. The 30-year-old is in line for the bulk of the starts in Vancouver for the rest of the season since Thatcher Demko (hip) is set for season-ending surgery. Lankinen's workload may be more secure, but his results will likely keep fantasy managers away. He's now 1-7-1 in January and 7-17-4 on the season with a 3.54 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 29 appearances. The Canucks' next game is Thursday at home versus the Ducks.

Canucks' Tom Willander: Good to go Tuesday
Willander (illness) will be in the lineup versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Willander missed Sunday's game while ill, but that looks to be the extent of his absence. Pierre-Olivier Joseph will be scratched to make room for Willander on the third pairing for Tuesday's contest.

Canucks' Marco Rossi: Officially ruled out through Olympics
Rossi (lower body) suffered a setback and won't be back until after the Olympic break, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports Tuesday.
Rossi has already been sidelined for the last 13 games due to his lower-body problem and will now be shelved for at least five more before the break. Once given the all-clear, Rossi should reclaim a spot in the top six for Vancouver, though it will likely be too late for the team to make a postseason push.

Canucks' Zeev Buium: Has broken bone near cheek
Buium (face) is dealing with a broken bone near his cheek and isn't expected to be available until after the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet on Tuesday.
Buium was injured Sunday against the Penguins after being struck in the face by the puck. MacIntyre relayed that surgery has yet to be ruled out to address Buium's broken bone near his cheek. The 20-year-old Buium was placed on injured reserve Monday and will now turn his attention to attempting to be ready for game action when the Canucks resume play Feb. 25 against Winnipeg after the Olympics.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Going through concussion protocol
Boeser has to go through concussion protocol before being cleared to return to the lineup, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports Tuesday.
Boeser sustained the injury in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh on a hit from Bryan Rust, who received a three-game suspension Tuesday for an illegal check to the head. Boeser is already on injured reserve, but he is feeling better. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Defending crease Tuesday
Lankinen will protect the home net against San Jose on Tuesday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Lankinen has lost his last two outings while allowing eight goals on 49 shots. He has a 7-16-4 record this campaign with a 3.44 GAA and an .884 save percentage through 28 appearances. With Thatcher Demko (hip) set to undergo season-ending surgery, Lankinen should see plenty of starts for the remainder of the year. San Jose sits 18th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this season.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Shut down for season
Demko will undergo hip surgery and miss the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign, the Canucks announced Tuesday.
According to the team, Demko's hip surgery is unrelated to the one from last season, and the backstop will be ready for the start of training camp in the fall. Still, the fact that the San Diego native will play less than 25 games for the second straight year is a concern for fans and fantasy managers alike. With Demko on the shelf, Kevin Lankinen figures to serve as the primary option for the Canucks moving forward.

Canucks' Victor Mancini: Called up Monday
Mancini was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.
Mancini spent the past week in the minors but will rejoin Vancouver after Zeev Buium (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Over nine appearances with the NHL club this year, Mancini has recorded zero points, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and five PIM while averaging 13:12 of ice time.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Moves to IR
Boeser (head) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Vancouver recalled Jonathan Lekkerimaki from AHL Abbotsford in a corresponding move. Boeser suffered the injury in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh. He will miss at least the next three games, starting with Tuesday's matchup against San Jose, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has produced 12 goals, 25 points, 114 shots on net and 30 hits through 50 appearances this season.

Canucks' Zeev Buium: Designated for IR
Buium was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury Monday.
Buium has appeared in 20 games for the Canucks since being acquired from the Wild in the Quinn Hughes deal. The 20-year-old Buium logged 15:41 of ice time in Sunday's contest versus the Penguins, which is a little on the low side but not completely out of sorts. While Buium will have to miss the next three games for sure, the team could opt to keep him out until after the Olympic break, depending on the severity of his injury.

Canucks' Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Recalled by Vancouver
Lekkerimaki was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.
Lekkerimaki was sent to the minors in early December, but he'll rejoin the NHL club nearly two months later to provide additional depth after Brock Boeser (head) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Lekkerimaki has appeared in eight games for Vancouver this season, recording a goal, an assist, six hits and three blocked shots while averaging 10:53 of ice time.
