Raty produced an assist, two shots on goal, four hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

Raty has racked up four points over his last three contests. The 22-year-old has taken advantage of moving up to the third line, which has unlocked steadier offense while the Canucks deal with multiple injuries to centers. Raty has 11 points, 30 shots on net, 76 hits, 14 PIM and an even plus-minus rating across 30 appearances this season.

Joshua scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

Joshua has a pair of multi-point efforts over his last seven games, a span in which he has two goals and three assists. The 28-year-old winger is up to 14 points, 52 shots on net, 188 hits, 38 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 54 contests overall. He continues to see bottom-six minutes and is not currently in the power-play mix, so he has little to offer to fantasy managers besides hits and PIM.

Barkov scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over Detroit.

Barkov redirected a point shot past Cam Talbot in the third period to push the score to 4-1. He has two points (one goal, one assist) in his last two games and nine, including three goals, in his last nine contests. Barkov has 69 points (20 goals, 49 assists) in 66 games, and it's the fifth season in a row where he put up more points than games played. This season's minus-1 rating is a strange anomaly after last season's plus-33 rating, but that won't have much of a bearing in most formats.

Rodrigues scored a power-play goal in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Thursday.

Rodrigues took a pass in the left circle and drove the net to stuff it past Cam Talbot. It was his first goal in 18 games (two assists). Rodrigues has 30 points (15 goals, 15 assists) in 79 games this season. It's his fourth consecutive season that he's hit that mark. Rodrigues is a third-line winger who chips in occasionally and sees time on PP2, but there's more value in his on-ice game than his fantasy game.

Aman (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Avalanche, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Aman will miss his fourth straight contest. There's been no update on his status, but it wouldn't be surprising for Aman to be shut down given the Canucks were eliminated from playoff contention due to Wednesday's results. The 25-year-old has managed just six points over 19 outings this season.

Hertl (shoulder) is slated to return to the lineup for Thursday's game against Seattle, NHL.com reports.

Hertl has missed the last eight games due to his shoulder injury, but he'll be back in action for Thursday's home matchup. Hertl has recorded 31 goals, 28 assists, 96 hits, 54 blocked shots and 20 PIM while averaging 17:07 of ice time over 70 appearances this season, and his return should allow him to regain his conditioning ahead of the playoffs.

Eichel (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kraken, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Eichel will be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup due to his upper-body injury, and head coach Bruce Cassidy said Thursday that the 28-year-old remains day-to-day. The Golden Knights have just three games remaining on their regular-season schedule, and it's not yet clear whether Eichel will suit up for any of those matchups.

Colton (undisclosed) will be out of the lineup against Vancouver on Thursday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Colton will be sidelined for a second straight contest due to his lingering undisclosed injury. After racking up 40 points last year, the 28-year-old Colton won't be reaching that same level this year, but he could still reach the 30-point threshold with one more tally this year.

Turcotte (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Ducks, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.

Although the 24-year-old will miss a ninth consecutive game Thursday, head coach Jim Hiller said after the team's morning skate that Turcotte is "very close" to returning to action. As a result, it seems possible that he'll be in the mix to return against Colorado on Saturday. Turcotte has made 64 appearances this year, logging eight goals, 15 assists, 38 hits, 27 blocked shots and 20 PIM while averaging 11:46 of ice time.

Kerfoot (illness) will return to the lineup versus Nashville on Thursday, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Kerfoot sat out one game with the illness. He has 11 goals and 24 points in 77 games this season. Kerfoot will replace Michael Carcone in the lineup.
