Suter notched an assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Suter helped out on the first of Kiefer Sherwood's three goals in the game. The 28-year-old Suter snapped his three-game slump, but offense may be harder to come by moving forward. He's lost his top-six spot since J.T. Miller returned from a personal leave, with Suter now centering the third line rather than playing on the wing. He's been good this year with 18 points, 53 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 29 appearances, and the Canucks have a fairly deep offense, so don't rush to drop Suter -- just have a backup plan ready if he enters a slump.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Tracking toward career year
Rotowire
Suter posted an assist Sunday in a 4-2 loss to the Lightning.
Suter registered the primary helper on Quinn Hughes' seventh goal of the season to open the scoring Sunday. The forward has been held off the scoresheet on only one occasion over his last seven games, which has helped fill the void of J.T. Miller (personal) being away from the team. Suter's on his way to surpassing his career high of 36 points, with 11 goals and 17 points through 25 games this season. The Swiss center trails only Jake DeBrusk (12) for the team lead in goals.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Nets two goals in win
Rotowire
Suter scored twice on three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Suter's first goal stood as the game-winner, and he also added an empty-netter. He's tallied five times and added two assists over his last six contests, playing well while maintaining a second-line role. Overall, Suter is at 11 goals, 16 points, 48 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 24 appearances. He's not much of a factor on the power play, but his spot in the lineup at even strength makes him worth a look in fantasy formats with a focus on offense.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Second multi-point effort of season
Rotowire
Suter banked a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo.
Both of Suter's markers came at even strength, and he extended his point streak (two goals, two assists) to three games. The Swiss forward has been productive in November with six goals and four assists through 13 games. Suter had three points across eight contests in October, so he's turned the corner on offense. Furthermore, Suter is tied for the team lead in goals with Conor Garland. Overall, Suter has provided eight goals and five assists through 21 appearances.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Tickles twine in defeat
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal on three shots Wednesday in a 5-4 loss to the Penguins.
Suter helped jumpstart Vancouver's comeback attempt by depositing a slap shot past Tristan Jarry at 13:40 of the second period. The 28-year-old Suter has assumed the No. 2 center role as a result of J.T. Miller's (personal) absence, and the former is tracking towards surpassing his career-high 36 points that he produced during the 2021-22 campaign with Detroit. Suter is tied for first on Vancouver in goals with seven and he's added four helpers through 20 games. 10 of Suter's 11 points have come at even strength, so he'll be a name to keep an eye on if he can be more productive with his spot on the No. 2 power-play unit.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Contributes assist in win
Rotowire
Suter logged an assist in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.
Suter has three helpers over his last five contests while maintaining a top-six role. The 28-year-old set up Conor Garland's empty-net tally Tuesday. Suter is up to 10 points, 33 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-1 rating over 19 outings overall. He's more of a secondary scorer, but he's done enough of that lately to be of interest in deeper fantasy formats.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Posts helper
Rotowire
Suter logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Suter has two goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 28-year-old moved to center after primarily playing as a winger early in the season -- he's now covering for J.T. Miller (personal) while playing up the middle. Suter has been moderately useful in fantasy with nine points, 31 shots on net, 13 hits and an even plus-minus rating, though his offense could ultimately dip in Miller's absence.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Delivers assist in win
Rotowire
Suter logged an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Suter has mostly been a scorer this season, but he set up J.T. Miller for an empty-netter in this contest. The 28-year-old Suter has three points over his last four games and continues to fill a top-six role. The forward is up to six goals, two helpers, 27 shots on net, 11 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 15 outings. As long as he's seeing premium minutes at even strength, Suter will be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats that focus on scoring.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Scores again in win
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Suter has scored in back-to-back games and has four tallies over five contests in November. The 28-year-old forward's goal Tuesday was the game-winner. He's seeing top-line minutes alongside J.T. Miller, which gives Suter decent fantasy value as long as he lasts in that spot. Suter has six goals, one assist, 26 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating across 13 appearances.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Power-play marker in loss
Rotowire
Suter scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Suter's goal was too late to make a difference Saturday, but he has now scored five times over the last eight contests. The 28-year-old is also on the power play now, replacing Brock Boeser (upper body), who was hurt Thursday versus the Kings. Suter's worth a look in fantasy with a larger role, which also includes top-six minutes at even strength. He has six points, 222 shots on net, 10 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 12 outings this season.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Plays hero Saturday
Rotowire
Suter scored twice on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Suter has scored four times over the last five games. He played a big role Saturday, tying the game at 1-1 in the second period before scoring the game-winner with just 26 seconds left in the third. The 28-year-old forward has mainly filled a bottom-six role this season, earning five points, 15 shots on net, eight hits and an even plus-minus rating across nine outings. Suter looks likely to keep a steady spot in the lineup this season, but he's not a strong fantasy option since he's not a factor on the power play.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Scores in win Monday
Rotowire
Suter notched a goal, two penalty minutes, four shots and a hit in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Suter has found the back of the net in two of his last three appearances, but he's not expected to have a lot of opportunities to produce as a fourth-line center. He might light the lamp here and there, but fantasy managers shouldn't trust in him to deliver sustained production going forward.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Deposits goal in win
Rotowire
Suter scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Suter got his first goal of the season in the third period. The 28-year-old forward has two points, five shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across five appearances. Suter is likely to remain in a bottom-six role throughout the year, and he'll need to keep the quality of his play up to avoid being an occasional healthy scratch.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Nabs helper in season debut
Rotowire
Suter posted an assist in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Suter dealt with an upper-body injury to begin October, but it cost him only one regular-season contest. The 28-year-old played as a bottom-six winger Friday. He has experience at center, but the Canucks seem intent on giving rookie Aatu Raty some runway down the middle. Suter has finished between 24 and 36 points in all four of his NHL campaigns, so he doesn't offer much scoring upside, especially if he receives minimal power-play time.

Suter (upper body) will play against the Flyers on Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Suter sat out Wednesday's regular-season opener against Calgary after being considered a game-time decision, but he'll be able to make his season debut against Philadelphia. Over 67 regular-season appearances with the Canucks last year, he logged 14 goals and 29 points while averaging 15:30 of ice time.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Game-time call Wednesday
Rotowire
Suter (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus Calgary on Wednesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Suter did some work in his usual third-line role in the lead-up to Wednesday's tilt, but it appears he isn't quite 100 percent. The 28-year-old center appeared in just 67 games last season due to injury but still managed to reach the 14-goal mark, a threshold he's reached in all four of his NHL campaigns, despite playing on three different teams in his short career. If he can't go, Aatu Raty will step into the lineup in Suter's stead.

Suter (upper body) won't play Friday versus the Oilers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Suter will be out for the Canucks' preseason finale, putting his status for Wednesday's season opener in doubt as well. The 28-year-old forward's absence is at least partially offset by the return of Teddy Blueger (lower body), who will suit up Friday.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Dealing with upper-body issue
Rotowire
Suter is day-to-day after suffering an upper-body injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports Wednesday.
Suter has scored at least 14 goals in each of his four NHL seasons despite having played for three different teams over that stretch. If he can get back to 100 percent and avoid any injury stretches, he should be a near-lock to reach the 30-point threshold considering he fell one point shy of that mark last year despite logging just 67 regular-season appearances.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Registers helper in win
Rotowire
Suter logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
Suter set up the second of Brock Boeser's tallies in the first period. Through nine playoff outings, Suter's scoring contributions have been rather limited -- he has two goals and one assist, along with 19 shots on net. The 27-year-old can handle top-six minutes, but he's unlikely to produce offense at that level on a regular basis, and he doesn't make up for it with physical play that would bolster his fantasy standing.
