Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Facing 2-3 week absence
Joseph (upper body) is expected to be sidelined for 2-3 weeks, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports Wednesday.
Joseph was already placed on injured reserve Tuesday, so his recovery timeline doesn't come as a significant shock. With Tyler Myers shipped off to Dallas and Joseph unavailable, Victor Mancini will step into the lineup on the third pairing. Even once cleared to play, Joseph is far from a lock to suit up every night.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Moves to IR
Joseph (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Joseph will miss at least the next four games, starting with Wednesday's matchup against Carolina, after landing on the IR list. However, a timeline for his return to the lineup is unclear. Joseph has one goal, four assists, 18 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and eight hits in 24 appearances this season.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Undergoing further evaluation
Joseph is still being evaluated for an undisclosed injury ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Carolina, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Joseph has seen an uptick in ice time while Tyler Myers is being held out of the lineup for trade considerations. According to head coach Adam Foote, if Joseph can't play Wednesday, the team will bring a blueliner, perhaps Victor Mancini, from the minors rather than putting Myers back into the lineup.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Departs Monday's game
Joseph (undisclosed) exited Monday's 6-1 loss to the Stars in the third period and did not come back into the game.
The Canucks did not relay why Joseph departed the game, which leaves him with an undisclosed injury tag. If the left-shot blueliner is unable to play Wednesday against the Hurricanes, Vancouver will almost certainly bring up a defenseman from AHL Abbotsford.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Rare goal in loss
Joseph scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Joseph has a goal and an assist over his last three games. The defenseman is seeing steady bottom-four usage in the absence of Zeev Buium (face). If Buium isn't ready to return following the Olympic break, expect Joseph to stick in the lineup a bit longer, but he'll likely slip back into a part-time role once the Canucks are fully healthy. Joseph has a goal, three assists, 17 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Gets on scoresheet with assist
Joseph notched an assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Joseph has been in a part-time role lately, playing in four of the last seven games. That's an upgrade from most of December, when he was often in the press box, but he should have a clearer path to playing time as long as Elias Pettersson is in the AHL. Joseph has just two helpers, 10 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 15 appearances this season, so fantasy managers can look elsewhere for defensive depth, especially since he's still not a lock to stay in the lineup.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Participates in morning skate
Joseph (illness) was on the ice for Monday's morning skate, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Following a two-game absence due to illness, Joseph is poised to be a healthy scratch for Monday's matchup against Detroit. He has produced one assist, 10 shots on goal, eight blocked shots and four hits in 11 appearances this season.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Unavailable Saturday
Joseph (illness) will miss Saturday's game against Minnesota, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Joseph was also absent from Friday's 4-1 loss to Utah. He has an assist in 11 outings this season. Joseph will be an option for the third pairing once he's healthy, but he probably won't play regularly.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Won't play Friday
Joseph (illness) is not expected to be available to face Utah on Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Joseph was unavailable to practice Thursday due to his illness and will now be on the shelf for Friday's matchup. In the 26-year-old blueliner's 11 outings this year, he has failed to find the back of the net, earning one helper, 10 shots and four hits. Joseph will face a tough turnaround to be ready to square off with Minnesota in the second game of the back-to-back Saturday.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Misses practice Thursday
Joseph (flu) missed practice Thursday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Joseph should be considered questionable ahead of Friday's tilt in Utah. The 26-year-old blueliner has one assist in 11 games this season. The Canucks recalled defenseman Elias Pettersson from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday in case Joseph is unable to play.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Gets first helper of season
Joseph notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Joseph was scratched Monday against the Predators, but he replaced Elias Pettersson in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. The helper was Joseph's first point in eight appearances this season. He's added seven blocked shots, three hits, nine shots on net and a minus-2 rating while primarily playing on the third pairing.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Activated from injured reserve
Joseph (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
Joseph missed the start of the regular season due to an undisclosed injury and was seen skating in a non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice, but he's healthy enough to be activated off injured reserve. Now that he's back to full health, he could push Elias Pettersson for a bottom-four role in the Canucks' lineup.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Participating in Tuesday's practice
Joseph (undisclosed) sported a non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Head coach Adam Foote said Oct. 2 that Joseph's undisclosed issue is a minor one, so the defenseman shouldn't be too far off from moving past his injury. It remains to be seen if the 26-year-old will be an extra defenseman once he returns to full strength, but he could challenge Elias Pettersson for a bottom-four role in the lineup.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Shifts to IR
Joseph (undisclosed) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday.
Joseph is retroactive to Sept. 30, meaning he can be activated whenever he is ready to return. Still, it's unclear when he will receive clearance to play. The Canucks recalled Victor Mancini from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday to replace Joseph on the roster.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Dealing with minor injury
Head coach Adam Foote said Thursday that Joseph is dealing with a minor injury and isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason finale against Edmonton, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
While the exact nature of Joseph's injury isn't yet clear, it's encouraging that Foote downplayed the severity of the issue. However, it's not yet clear whether Joseph will be available for the start of the regular season.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Recovered from injury
Joseph (upper body) participated in Thursday's practice, according to Thomas Drance of The Athletic, indicating that he's healthy for the beginning of training camp.
Joseph didn't play past March 1 due to the injury. He finished 2024-25 with three assists across 47 regular-season appearances between St. Louis and Pittsburgh. The Penguins decided against presenting him with a qualifying offer over the summer, which led to him inking a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Canucks. He should be in the mix for a spot on Vancouver's third pairing, but he's far from a safe bet to earn that assignment.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Signs with Vancouver
Joseph (upper body) signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.
Joseph made 47 regular-season appearances between Pittsburgh and St. Louis last year, recording three assists, 45 PIM, 36 hits and 36 blocked shots while averaging 15:16 of ice time. He missed the final 20 games of the regular season due to an upper-body injury, and it's unclear how the issue will impact his availability for the 2025-26 campaign. However, once he's healthy, the 26-year-old should have a chance to compete for a role on the Canucks' blue line.

Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Not getting qualifying offer
Joseph (upper body) won't receive a qualifying offer from Pittsburgh ahead of Monday's deadline, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Joseph missed the final 20 games of the 2024-25 regular season due to injury. Before getting hurt, he produced three assists, 42 shots on goal, 36 blocked shots and 36 hits over 47 appearances between Pittsburgh and St. Louis. The 25-year-old blueliner will be an unrestricted free agent.

Penguins' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Ruled out for regular-season finale
Joseph (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's regular-season finale against the Capitals, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Joseph sustained an upper-body injury in early March and spent the final month and a half of the season on injured reserve. He appeared to progress in his recovery in recent weeks but won't suit up for Pittsburgh's regular-season finale. The 25-year-old made 47 appearances between St. Louis and Pittsburgh this year, and he recorded three assists, 36 hits, 36 blocked shots and 45 PIM while averaging 15:15 of ice time.

Penguins' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Completes individual skate
Joseph (upper body) skated before Wednesday's practice, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Joseph's return to the ice is certainly a step in the right direction, but the fact that he isn't working with the team yet -- and it was unclear if he would join the Pens' upcoming three-game road trip -- doesn't inspire confidence that he will be back in the lineup soon. At this point, the 25-year-old blueliner should probably be considered out indefinitely until he resumes full-contact practices.
