Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Snaps losing skid
Tolopilo stopped 20 of 23 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Tolopilo was beaten twice in the first period and once more in the second, but the win was never in doubt after the Canucks added three goals in the final frame. This was Tolopilo's first win since a 2-0 victory over the Ducks on Jan. 29. Between both wins, the 25-year-old netminder had posted a 0-2-2 record with a 3.37 GAA. As the backup goaltender of one of the worst teams in the NHL, however, Tolopilo shouldn't have a lot of fantasy appeal (if any) in most formats.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Tending twine Friday
Tolopilo will be between the visiting pipes in Chicago on Friday, according to Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Takes loss in relief outing
Tolopilo allowed a goal on 10 shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
While Tolopilo had the better performance of Vancouver's two goalies, he was also responsible for the decisive goal, which Nikolaj Ehlers potted just under a minute after Tolopilo entered the contest. This was Tolopilo's fourth loss in a row (0-2-2), and he's given up 12 goals on 116 shots over those four appearances. The 25-year-old is now at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.27 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 12 appearances. He should get a start soon, as the Canucks visit the Blackhawks on Friday and the Jets on Saturday for a back-to-back set.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Gives up six goals
Tolopilo stopped 31 of 37 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Stars.
Tolopilo has dropped his last three starts, going 0-1-2 in that span, but perhaps more worrisome is the fact that he's posted a save percentage below .900 in his past two outings. The 25-year-old netminder has been limited to 11 appearances this season, but his numbers haven't been very good with a 3-4-2 record, a 3.32 GAA and a .901 save percentage. Expect Tolopilo to remain as the Canucks' No. 2 option between the pipes behind Kevin Lankinen for the foreseeable future.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Set to face Dallas
Tolopilo was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against the Stars on Monday.
Tolopilo is coming off a 25-save effort in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg. He has a 3-3-2 record with a 3.03 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 10 NHL appearances this season. Dallas ranks ninth in the league with 3.32 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Loses in overtime
Tolopilo stopped 25 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Tolopilo kept the game close, but Cole Perfetti had the deciding goal 1:37 into overtime. The 25-year-old Tolopilo is now 3-3-2 with a 3.03 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 10 appearances for the Canucks this season. He looks to have a chance to compete with Kevin Lankinen for the crease going forward, as Thatcher Demko (hip) is out for the season. The Canucks' next game is in Seattle on Saturday, and with no back-to-backs on the schedule until next weekend, it'll be interesting to see how head coach Adam Foote divides the goaltending duties in the short term.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Guarding home goal
Tolopilo is set to start at home against Winnipeg on Wednesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
Tolopilo is 3-3-1 with a 3.04 GAA and a .910 save percentage in nine appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. He also has a 3.07 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 19 outings with AHL Abbotsford this campaign. Winnipeg was struggling with a 3-4-3 record across its last 10 games before the Olympic break, but Vancouver has fared even worse with a 2-7-1 record in its past 10 outings.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Summoned from AHL
Tolopilo was brought up from AHL Abbotsford on Monday under emergency conditions.
Vancouver returned Aku Koskenvuo to the minors in a corresponding move. Tolopilo has a 3-3-1 record with a 3.04 GAA and a .910 save percentage in nine NHL appearances this season.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Spending break in AHL
Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
Tolopilo went 1-2-1 with a .909 save percentage over five games during January with Vancouver. The 25-year-old will spend the Olympic break in the AHL. However, he has outplayed both Kevin Lankinen and Jiri Patera, which puts Tolopilo in a good position to return to the big club ahead of the team's Feb. 25 game versus the Jets.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Superb in shootout loss
Tolopilo made 39 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Tolopilo was outstanding in the contest and stoned sniper Auston Matthews on a penalty shot in overtime. Tolopilo was also superb in a 2-0 win over the Ducks on Thursday, which could lead to more opportunities to play instead of the struggling Kevin Lankinen.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Expected to face Toronto
Tolopilo is expected to start at home against Toronto on Saturday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Tolopilo has a 3-3-0 record, 3.22 GAA and .903 save percentage in eight appearances in 2025-26. He stopped all 32 shots he faced in Vancouver's 2-0 victory over Anaheim, but he missed a bit of time after being pulled by a concussion spotter, so he didn't record the shutout. Toronto has struggled with a 1-5-2 record over its past eight games, though the Leafs are set to get back William Nylander (groin) on Saturday.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Perfect, but no shutout
Tolopilo stopped all 32 shots he faced in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.
Tolopilo was denied a shutout because his evaluation by the concussion spotter during the first intermission prevented him from taking the ice to start the second. Kevin Lankinen handled 2:11 of ice time and made one save. Few fantasy managers would have turned to Tolopilo in most circumstances, but those who did will feel hard done by with this situation. The good news is Tolopilo was able to finish the contest and has allowed just two goals on 59 shots over his last two outings. He's 3-3-0 through eight appearances and will compete with Lankinen for playing time for the remainder of the campaign. Wins will be hard to find, as the Canucks are currently at the bottom of the league standings.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: First goalie off Thursday
Tolopilo was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod at home versus the Ducks.
Tolopilo has made just seven appearances for the Canucks this season, going 2-3-0 with a 3.72 GAA in his limited opportunities. With Thatcher Demko (hip) done for the year, the 25-year-old Tolopilo should see significantly more starts the rest of the way, though Kevin Lankinen remains the No. 1 option in Vancouver.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Allows two goals in relief outing
Tolopilo gave up two goals on 27 shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
Tolopilo was able to stabilize things after Lankinen was pulled just 5:55 into the game with the Canucks down 3-1. Both goals Tolopilo allowed came on San Jose power plays. For the season, Tolopilo is 2-3-0 with a 3.72 GAA and an .887 save percentage in seven appearances. He's been alternating between the NHL and AHL, sharing the backup role in Vancouver with Jiri Patera, so it's unclear if Tolopilo will see enough time or perform well enough to warrant consideration in fantasy.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Called up from minors
Tolopilo was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Saturday.
The Canucks sent Jiri Patera back to the minors in a corresponding move. Tolopilo has a 2-3-0 record with a 3.97 GAA and an .881 save percentage in six NHL appearances this season.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Dropped to AHL
Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Tolopilo allowed six goals in Saturday's loss to the Oilers, and the Canucks decided to swap out goalies a day later. Tolopilo will head to Abbotsford while Jiri Patera was called up under emergency conditions to back up Kevin Lankinen moving forward until Thatcher Demko (lower body) is healthy again. Tolopilo will see more consistent playing time with the AHL club.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Yields six goals in loss
Tolopilo allowed six goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Oilers.
Kevin Lankinen was battling an illness, so Tolopilo was likely to see the whole game, for better or worse. It was worse this time, as even sans Leon Draisaitl (personal), the Oilers were able to ring up a huge second period to humiliate the Canucks. During his latest NHL stint, Tolopilo has surrendered 12 goals on 76 shots over two games. He'll likely be with the big club while Thatcher Demko (lower body) works through his latest injury. Tolopilo is 2-3-0 with 21 goals allowed on 177 shots this season and should be avoided in most fantasy formats.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Facing Oilers
Tolopilo will patrol the home crease against Edmonton on Saturday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Kevin Lankinen is a little under the weather, but he will serve as Tolopilo's backup. The 25-year-old Tolopilo has a 2-2-0 record at the NHL level this campaign while surrendering 15 goals on 142 shots in five appearances. Edmonton ranks sixth in the league with 3.31 goals per game this season, but loses some offensive firepower with Leon Draisaitl (personal) unavailable to play.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Hammered by Habs
Tolopilo turned aside 35 shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens.
The Canucks kept things close through two periods, but the Habs beat Tolopilo three times on 14 shots in the final frame. The 25-year-old netminder is back in the NHL to provide depth behind Kevin Lankinen during the latest absence for Thatcher Demko (lower body), but Tolopilo's 3.50 GAA and .894 save percentage in five appearances for Vancouver this season don't give him much fantasy appeal.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: First goalie off Monday
Tolopilo was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Montreal.
Tolopilo was recalled by the Canucks on Sunday and will draw the start in the first half of a back-to-back set. Over four appearances this season, he's gone 2-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 101 shots, good for a .911 save percentage.
