Top Dakota Joshua News

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Finds twine in overtime loss

    Joshua scored a goal and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.

    Joshua has two goals over his last five contests. He's also logged multiple hits in seven straight games as he continues to bring a physical element to the Canucks' bottom six. The 28-year-old winger is at two goals, four points, five shots on net, 59 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 17 appearances this season.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Opens scoring Tuesday

    Joshua scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

    Joshua's first goal of the season came against his former team. The 28-year-old has held down a middle-six role over the last month, picking up three points, four shots on net, 13 PIM and 47 hits over 13 contests. He'll need to up his shot volume to have more success, but he can still make an impact with physical play.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Posts helper in overtime win

    Joshua logged an assist and five hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    Joshua has a pair of helpers over nine games this season. The 28-year-old winger has also brought plenty of physicality with at least two hits in every game, totaling 38 overall. He's held onto a middle-six role and will likely continue to see steady playing time, though with just two shots on net so far, he's not pushing enough on offense to bolster his fantasy value.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Garners first helper of season

    Joshua notched an assist, five hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

    The helper was Joshua's first point over four contests since he recovered from testicular cancer surgery. The 28-year-old winger has done what he does best since his return, doling out 14 hits. He can chip in some depth scoring as well after a 32-point campaign in 2023-24, but it'll be hits and PIM that supplement his production for fantasy purposes.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Making season debut versus Isles

    Joshua (cancer) will make his 2024-25 season debut against the Islanders on Thursday, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.

    Joshua looks set to take on a fourth-line role but could work his way up the lineup as he gets back to full speed. Given his lengthy stint on the sidelines, the winger will likely need some time to readjust but could still challenge for the 30-point mark after hitting that threshold for the first time last year.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Not ready to return

    Joshua (groin) won't play Thursday versus LA, per Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet.

    Joshua also didn't practice Wednesday, but coach Rick Tocchet said the 28-year-old hasn't suffered a setback. Instead, the Canucks are simply being cautious with Joshua, who hasn't played in 2024-25. It remains to be seen when Joshua might return to the lineup, but when he is ready, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six role.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Returns to practice

    Joshua (groin) practiced in a non-contact jersey Saturday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports.

    While Joshua is still a ways off from game action, it's an incredibly positive sign to see the winger practicing after he underwent surgery for testicular cancer in the offseason. Joshua logged 18 goals and 32 points, both career highs, in 63 games during the 2023-24 regular season.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Traveling with team

    Joshua (groin) will join the Canucks on their upcoming four-game road trip and could start skating during that time, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports Tuesday.

    While Joshua's return to the ice will certainly be a significant step in the right direction, he will likely have several more hurdles to clear, including absorbing contact in practice. Once the winger is ready to play, he should be in contention for a second-line role, though Daniel Sprong and Conor Garland will likely also have something to say about that.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Placed on injured non-roster

    Joshua (testicular cancer) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

    Joshua recently resumed skating, but he's still considered to be several weeks away from returning to game action. He underwent surgery for testicular cancer in September and will officially be forced to miss the first few weeks of the regular season. He made 63 appearances for the Canucks last year and logged 18 goals, 32 points and 245 hits while averaging 14:23 of ice time.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Resumes skating

    Joshua (testicular cancer) has resumed skating and is likely a few weeks away from returning, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports Monday.

    Joshua underwent surgery for testicular cancer in September, and the Canucks have been hopeful that he'll be able to return to action this season. It's encouraging that he's been back on the ice recently, but he'll likely need to ramp up before he's in the mix to return to game action. The 28-year-old made 63 regular-season appearances for Vancouver last year and logged 18 goals and 32 points while averaging 14:23 of ice time.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Diagnosed with testicular cancer

    Joshua successfully underwent surgery for testicular cancer but won't be ready for the start of training camp, per the Canucks' release Tuesday.

    Joshua's statement acknowledged that he wouldn't be ready for training camp but was still hoping to return to action this season. Given the uncertainty regarding his timeline, the winger figures to start the year on long-term injured reserve. Without Joshua in the mix for a roster spot Opening Night, camp invitee Sammy Blais could earn himself a contract with a strong showing.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Inks four-year deal

    Joshua agreed to terms on a four-year, $13 million contract with Vancouver on Thursday.

    Joshua is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in goals (18), assists (14) and shots (84) despite playing in just 63 regular-season games. If he can stay healthy in 2024-25, the 28-year-old winger should be capable of topping both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds. Given his offensive upside, Joshua could be in the mix for power-play minutes during the campaign, a role that would further bolster his fantasy value.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Nets late equalizer

    Joshua netted a goal, added nine hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Joshua scored late in the third period, but it wasn't late enough to prevent the Oilers from answering to get the win. The 27-year-old Joshua has eight points over 10 playoff outings, but six of them have come in a pair of three-point efforts, making him inconsistent with his contributions on offense. The winger has added seven shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-4 rating while playing on the third line.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Three points in Game 1

    Joshua tallied a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

    Joshua got Vancouver on the board in the opening minute of the second period, beating Stuart Skinner off a rebound before adding a pair of assists later in the contest. The goal was Joshua's first since he scored a pair in the opening game of Vancouver's first-round matchup with Nashville. The 27-year-old winger now has three goals and seven points through seven games in the playoffs after tallying a career-high 32 points (18 goals, 14 assists) in 63 regular-season contests.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Provides helper Sunday

    Joshua notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

    Joshua started the playoffs with a three-point effort in Game 1, but his offense went cold until he helped out on Elias Lindholm's game-winning tally Sunday. In addition to his four points, Joshua has added 17 hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four postseason appearances. He remains a physical presence on the Canucks' third line, though he's also proven capable of chipping in with depth scoring.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Pops off for three points

    Joshua scored twice, dished an assist, went plus-3 and doled out six hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.

    Joshua was the only player on either team to have multiple points in the series opener. The winger had six multi-point efforts during the regular season, which saw him rack up a career-best 32 points (18 goals, 14 assists), 84 shots on net, 245 hits and 60 PIM over 63 appearances. Joshua remains in a third-line role, but his hard-nosed playing style should be well-suited to the first-round matchup with Nashville and the playoffs as a whole.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Scores in win

    Joshua scored a goal on two shots, doled out seven hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

    Joshua has five goals and a helper over nine games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The winger is cruising and bruising in a middle-six role this season. He's up to 18 tallies, 32 points, 82 shots on net, 60 PIM, 243 hits and a plus-19 rating through 62 outings overall.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Puts away empty-netter

    Joshua scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.

    Joshua has scored four times and added an assist over eight games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old winger is up to 17 goals, 31 points, 80 shots on net, 236 hits, 58 PIM and a plus-18 rating through 61 outings in a career year. Joshua remains on the third line but could be in line for in-game promotions on occasion if he's making a noticeable impact.

  • Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Gathers helper in win

    Joshua logged an assist, two shots on goal and eight hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

    Joshua has four points, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating over six contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. He's spent much of the campaign on the third line, but he's received an extended look alongside J.T. Miller in the top six since his return. Joshua reached the 30-point mark for the first time in his four-year career with his helper Monday, and he's added 78 shots on net, 58 PIM, a plus-18 rating and 232 hits over 59 appearances.
