Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Rough outing Wednesday
Arturs Silovs conceded five goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Penguins.Silovs was blitzed for four goals in the opening frame Wednesday, and the Vancouver Canucks ultimately couldn't pull off the comeback. The Latvian netminder has allowed nine goals combined in back-to-back losses, and he could be sent to AHL Abbotsford in the near future as Thatcher Demko (knee) is closing in on a return to game action. Silovs has a 1-4-1 record, .847 save percentage and 4.11 GAA across seven appearances.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: In goal Wednesday
Arturs Silovs will start on the road versus the Penguins on Wednesday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports.Silovs will start the second half of a back-to-back after Kevin Lankinen made a 32-save performance in a shutout win Tuesday in Boston. The 23-year-old Silovs has allowed at least three goals in four of his five starts this season, so he'll be a risky fantasy play even with a fairly good matchup. The Penguins have averaged 2.52 goals per game in 2024-25.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Falters against Rangers
Arturs Silovs stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.The Vancouver Canucks scored 34 seconds into the game, but they lost the lead less than two minutes later and never pulled ahead again. Silovs was unable to build momentum after an excellent performance in a win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. The 23-year-old netminder is down to a 1-3-1 record with a 3.91 GAA and an .857 save percentage over six appearances. The Canucks are set to start a six-game road trip Saturday in Ottawa. They have one back-to-back set during their travels with a visit to Boston next Tuesday followed by a stop in Pittsburgh next Wednesday, so Silovs' next start is likely to be in one of those two contests.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Gets first win of season
Arturs Silovs stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.It was a closer game than the final score suggests, with Silovs doing his part to keep it that way until the Vancouver Canucks' offense stepped up. Silovs earned his first win in five appearances this season (1-2-1), and he's allowed 16 goals on 107 shots for an .850 save percentage. Kevin Lankinen has started to falter under a heavy workload, so getting Silovs playing better could help the Canucks stay afloat until Thatcher Demko (knee) can play. It'll likely be Lankinen in goal against one of his former teams, the Predators, in Sunday's home contest.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Defending crease Saturday
Arturs Silovs will patrol the home crease Saturday against Chicago, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.Silovs hasn't earned a win through four appearances this season while stopping 63 of 78 shots. Chicago ranks 30th in the league with 2.41 goals per game in 2024-25. Kevin Lankinen will get a break after making six straight starts, but he could play in the second half of Vancouver's back-to-back when Nashville visits Sunday.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Appears in relief
Arturs Silovs stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.Silovs played the last 8:55 of the contest after Lankinen was mercifully pulled following a 20-for-27-save performance. This was Silovs' fourth appearance of the season and the only one in which he hasn't given up a goal -- he's yielded 15 tallies on 78 shots for an .808 save percentage. Lankinen has had a heavy workload, but he's been the Vancouver Canucks' best option in goal since Thatcher Demko (knee) remains out. As such, expect Silovs to remain in the backup role for the foreseeable future.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Torched for six goals
Arturs Silovs gave up six goals on 22 shots in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Devils.Silovs didn't get any scoring help, but the 23-year-old struggled after watching the last five games from the bench. He's now allowed 15 goals on 74 shots while going 0-2-1 over three outings this season. It's been a nightmarish start to the season for Silovs, and he could be at risk of losing the backup job to Jiri Patera while Thatcher Demko (knee) remains on season-opening injured reserve. Patera has gone 1-1-1 with a 2.73 GAA and an .896 save percentage over four outings at AHL Abbotsford this season, and Silovs is waivers-exempt, so making such a switch would be relatively easy if the Vancouver Canucks deem it necessary.
