  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Lends helper

    Brannstrom posted an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.

    Brannstrom continues to find offense from a third-pairing role. He has four points (two goals, two assists) over his last four outings, and he's added 11 shots on net in that span. This season, the 25-year-old blueliner is at six points, 21 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 14 appearances. He topped out at 20 points in the 2023-24 campaign, his last one with the Senators, but perhaps the Canucks have unlocked another level in Brannstrom's play.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Lights lamp Saturday

    Brannstrom scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Brannstrom scored his second goal and third point over the last three games. The defenseman continues to hold down a third-pairing role for the Canucks, though he saw a season-high 16:42 of ice time in Saturday's contest. Brannstrom has five points, 18 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, seven hits and a plus-2 rating through 13 appearances this season.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Records pair of points in win

    Brannstrom scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

    Brannstrom helped out on Pius Suter's go-ahead goal in the second period before adding an insurance tally himself in the third. The 25-year-old Brannstrom has emerged as a regular on the Canucks' third pairing. He's up to four points, 15 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 11 contests this season. He'll have to compete with Noah Juulsen for playing time, but that appears to be a battle Brannstrom has an advantage in so far.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Nabs assist Tuesday

    Brannstrom produced an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

    Brannstrom earned his second helper of the season when he assisted on Kiefer Sherwood's first-period go-ahead goal. The 25-year-old Brannstrom has bounced between the NHL and AHL frequently as the Canucks try to accrue some cap savings. He has two helpers, eight shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over eight appearances this season, playing mainly on the third pairing.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Recalled from AHL

    Brannstrom was sent to Abbotsford on Thursday but will rejoin the NHL club a day later. He's made six appearances for the Canucks this year, recording an assist, six blocked shots, three hits and a plus-3 rating while averaging 14:15 of ice time.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Summoned from minors

    Brannstrom was brought up from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

    Brannstrom has one assist, five shots on goal, two blocked shots and one hit in four NHL appearances this campaign. He will probably play on Vancouver's third pairing against Carolina on Monday.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Sent back to AHL

    Brannstrom was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

    Brannstrom has already gone up and down a few times this season, so it could just be a cap-saving measure prior to Vancouver's next game Monday. Brannstrom has one assist through four games this season.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Back in NHL

    Brannstrom was summoned from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

    Brannstrom was sent to the minors Thursday, and his quick return to the team suggests his demotion was just a cap-saving move. The 25-year-old defenseman has three assists in two appearances with Abbotsford as well as an assist in three outings with Vancouver in 2024-25.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Returned to minors

    Brannstrom was sent down to AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.

    Brannstrom has appeared in three NHL games this season, including Tuesday's clash with the Blackhawks in which he recorded his first point of the season. The decision to reassign the 25-year-old blueliner could be an indication that Derek Forbort (personal) will rejoin the team soon or simply a cap-saving measure since the team is off until Saturday's clash with Pittsburgh.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Recalled from minors

    Brannstrom was elevated from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.

    Brannstrom will likely serve as a depth option while Derek Forbort (personal) is away from the team. Vincent Desharnais figures to have the inside track to replacing Forbort in the lineup, leaving Brannstrom relegated to a likely spot in the press box as a healthy scratch.

  • Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Traded to Vancouver

    Vancouver acquired Brannstrom from Colorado on Sunday in exchange for Tucker Poolman (head) and a 2025 fourth-round draft pick.

    Brannstrom signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Avalanche in July after Ottawa declined to issue him a qualifying offer. The 25-year-old defender had three goals, 20 points, 77 shots on net and 111 blocked shots in 76 games with the Senators in the 2023-24 regular season. Following the trade, Brannstrom was placed on waivers with the intent to assign him to AHL Abbotsford.

  • Avalanche's Erik Brannstrom: Grabs one-year contract

    Brannstrom signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Colorado on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Brannstrom won't find minutes easy to come by with the Avs, especially after the team re-signed Jacob MacDonald and brought in Calvin de Haan. At best, Brannstrom figures to be the sixth or seventh blueliner heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Erik Brannstrom: Not expected to get QO

    According to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia, Brannstrom won't receive a qualifying offer from Ottawa before Sunday's deadline, making him an unrestricted free agent.

    Brannstrom accounted for three goals, 20 points, 77 shots on net and 111 blocked shots in 76 outings during the 2023-24 campaign. The 24-year-old blueliner will be free to sign elsewhere Monday when the market opens.

  • Senators' Erik Brannstrom: Grabs assist in win

    Brannstrom recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Oilers.

    Brannstrom has helpers in back-to-back games but remains mired in a 21-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 13 versus the Blue Jackets. With only 18 shots over that stretch, Brannstrom is going to need to start shooting more if he is going to find the back of the net. Still, the blueliner has been providing some offensive upside of late with four helpers in his last seven outings.

  • Senators' Erik Brannstrom: Puts up assist Saturday

    Brannstrom notched an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.

    Brannstrom has collected three helpers over his last five games. The defenseman helped out on a Parker Kelly tally in the third period to break up Stuart Skinner's shutout bid. Brannstrom had a brief foray at forward, but the Senators have opted to move him back to defense, where he's often seen bottom-four minutes. He's at 10 points, 32 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 30 appearances.

  • Senators' Erik Brannstrom: Offers assist in loss

    Brannstrom put up an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

    Brannstrom set up a Dominik Kubalik goal in the first period, which chased Arizona starter Connor Ingram from the game. The helper was Brannstrom's fourth over the last eight games, a marked improvement on his season pace of five points through 22 outings. The defenseman has added 24 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating while occupying a regular role on the third pairing as the Senators have had to navigate a number of other injuries on the blue line.

  • Senators' Erik Brannstrom: Records two helpers against Rangers

    Brannstrom notched two assists in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

    Brannstrom had just one multi-point game in 74 games last season, so fantasy players probably shouldn't count on him to keep piling up offense. In fact, the 24-year-old defenseman has never reached the 20-point threshold in his five-year NHL career and will be hard-pressed to do so in 2023-24.

  • Senators' Erik Brannstrom: First goal key to win

    Brannstrom scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Wild.

    With the Senators down 1-0 early in the third period, Minnesota cleared the puck into Ottawa's end for a line change. Goalie Anton Forsberg pounced on it and fired a pass to a wide-open Brannstrom at the opposite blue line, who had a clear path to Wild netminder Filip Gustavsson and blasted a slapshot past him. Brannstrom has never scored more than two goals in an NHL season, and this was his first point in 2023-24, so an offensive surge for the 24-year-old defenseman seems unlikely.
