Sandin-Pellikka was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.

Jacob Bernard-Docker was summoned from the minors in a corresponding move. Sandin-Pellikka has an assist in seven outings with Detroit in 2026-27.

Foegele (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

Foegele was already regarded as being out indefinitely, so this move doesn't impact his timetable. He has a goal and four points in 13 outings in 2026-27. Foegele should resume his bottom-six role when he's eventually ready to return.

Quillan was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

Quillan was traded to the Canucks from the Maple Leafs in mid-October, and he remained in the AHL over his first few weeks with the organization. Across his first five appearances with Abbotsford, he's recorded five goals, two assists, two PIM and a plus-8 rating. He'll provide additional depth for Vancouver after Filip Chytil (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Chytil (upper body) was placed on injured reserve by the Canucks on Friday.

The Canucks announced earlier Friday that Chytil would miss Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs after he aggravated an upper-body injury, and he's facing a multi-game absence after landing on injured reserve. Brendan Gallagher is a candidate to enter the lineup in Chytil's absence, while Jacob Quillan was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

Chytil (upper body) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Toronto, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Chytil has two assists in seven outings with Vancouver in 2026-27. Brendan Gallagher is likely to draw into the lineup Saturday due to Chytil's injury.

Hellebuyck will start Friday's road game against Vegas, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Hellebuyck made his Devils debut Tuesday in Dallas and turned aside 17 of 18 shots en route to the 5-1 victory. After getting the night off in the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday against Colorado, Hellebuyck will return to the crease Friday as the Devils close out their three-game road trip.

Stolarz is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

Stolarz has won his past two starts while stopping 66 of 70 shots (.943 save percentage). He has a 4-1-0 record, 2.79 GAA and .907 save percentage in five appearances in 2026-27. Vancouver is 3-11-1 while averaging 3.00 goals per game this season, so this is a favorable matchup for Stolarz.

Whitehead was assigned to AHL Henderson on Friday.

Whitehead was called up by the Golden Knights on Tuesday, but he didn't appear in any games during his time with the NHL club. His demotion ahead of Friday's game against the Devils suggests that Carter Hart (undisclosed) will be able to at least suit up for the matchup.

Rondbjerg was recalled from AHL Henderson on Friday.

Rondbjerg has been shuffled between the AHL and NHL recently, but he'll rejoin the Golden Knights ahead of Friday's matchup against the Devils. He hasn't yet appeared in a regular-season game for Vegas this year, but he recorded an assist and six shots on goal while averaging 12:05 of ice time across four regular-season appearances with the Golden Knights last season.

Klepov was reassigned to OHL Saginaw on Friday.

Klepov made the Ducks' roster out of training camp, but he ended up logging time in just four outings, recording no points, six PIM and six hits in that span. He was also a healthy scratch in nine games during his stint with Anaheim. The 18-year-old should play a big role with Saginaw after scoring 37 goals and 97 points in 67 regular-season appearances with the OHL squad in 2025-26.
