Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Falters against Rangers
Silovs stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
The Canucks scored 34 seconds into the game, but they lost the lead less than two minutes later and never pulled ahead again. Silovs was unable to build momentum after an excellent performance in a win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. The 23-year-old netminder is down to a 1-3-1 record with a 3.91 GAA and an .857 save percentage over six appearances. The Canucks are set to start a six-game road trip Saturday in Ottawa. They have one back-to-back set during their travels with a visit to Boston next Tuesday followed by a stop in Pittsburgh next Wednesday, so Silovs' next start is likely to be in one of those two contests.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Drawing start at home
Silovs will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home tilt versus the Rangers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Silovs had his best outing of the season Saturday against Chicago -- he turned aside 28 of 29 shots en route to a 4-1 victory. The 23-year-old will have a tough matchup in the Rangers, a club that ranks sixth in the NHL with 3.56 goals per game through 16 contests. Through five appearances, Silovs owns a 1-2-1 record, .850 save percentage and 3.86 GAA.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Gets first win of season
Silovs stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
It was a closer game than the final score suggests, with Silovs doing his part to keep it that way until the Canucks' offense stepped up. Silovs earned his first win in five appearances this season (1-2-1), and he's allowed 16 goals on 107 shots for an .850 save percentage. Kevin Lankinen has started to falter under a heavy workload, so getting Silovs playing better could help the Canucks stay afloat until Thatcher Demko (knee) can play. It'll likely be Lankinen in goal against one of his former teams, the Predators, in Sunday's home contest.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Defending crease Saturday
Silovs will patrol the home crease Saturday against Chicago, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Silovs hasn't earned a win through four appearances this season while stopping 63 of 78 shots. Chicago ranks 30th in the league with 2.41 goals per game in 2024-25. Kevin Lankinen will get a break after making six straight starts, but he could play in the second half of Vancouver's back-to-back when Nashville visits Sunday.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Recalled by Vancouver
Silovs was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.
Silovs was sent down Sunday but will rejoin the Canucks following a brief stint in the minors. The 23-year-old has struggled over four appearances with Vancouver this year, posting an 0-2-1 record, 4.76 GAA and .808 save percentage.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Sent to AHL
Silovs was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Silovs struggled to open the season with Vancouver, going 0-2-1 with an ugly .808 save percentage. The 23-year-old netminder will look to get on track in the AHL. Ty Young was recalled in a corresponding move to back up Kevin Lankinen while Thatcher Demko (knee) remains sidelined.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Appears in relief
Silovs stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Silovs played the last 8:55 of the contest after Lankinen was mercifully pulled following a 20-for-27-save performance. This was Silovs' fourth appearance of the season and the only one in which he hasn't given up a goal -- he's yielded 15 tallies on 78 shots for an .808 save percentage. Lankinen has had a heavy workload, but he's been the Canucks' best option in goal since Thatcher Demko (knee) remains out. As such, expect Silovs to remain in the backup role for the foreseeable future.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Torched for six goals
Silovs gave up six goals on 22 shots in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Devils.
Silovs didn't get any scoring help, but the 23-year-old struggled after watching the last five games from the bench. He's now allowed 15 goals on 74 shots while going 0-2-1 over three outings this season. It's been a nightmarish start to the season for Silovs, and he could be at risk of losing the backup job to Jiri Patera while Thatcher Demko (knee) remains on season-opening injured reserve. Patera has gone 1-1-1 with a 2.73 GAA and an .896 save percentage over four outings at AHL Abbotsford this season, and Silovs is waivers-exempt, so making such a switch would be relatively easy if the Canucks deem it necessary.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Expected to start Wednesday
Silovs is slated to start at home against the Devils on Wednesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
Silovs hasn't been in net since allowing three goals on 26 shots en route to a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Oct. 15. The Canucks have been leaning heavily on Kevin Lankinen, who has done well overall with a 4-0-2 record, 2.29 GAA and .920 save percentage across six outings. However, Lankinen has struggled recently, surrendering at least three goals in each of his past three starts, which might be why the Canucks decided it was time to mix things up. New Jersey ranks ninth offensively with 3.67 goals per game, so Silovs is drawing a tough assignment.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Gets little help against Bolts
Silovs stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning, with Tampa Bay's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
He got beaten once in each period, while the Canucks didn't get on the board until the third. Silovs was expected to be the No. 1 in net for Vancouver while Thatcher Demko (knee) was on IR, but so far the 23-year-old has alternated starts with Kevin Lankinen instead. Silovs' 4.50 GAA through his first two outings of the season hasn't made a strong case for more work.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Facing Lightning
Silovs will guard the road goal Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.
During his season debut against Calgary on Oct. 9, Silovs stopped 20 of 26 shots in a 6-5 overtime loss. Tampa Bay is coming off a 4-1 victory over Carolina on Friday.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Squanders lead in opener
Silovs allowed six goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.
Silovs was spotted a 4-1 lead after the first period, but the Flames showed resilience to get back into the game, and the Latvian goalie couldn't match it. The 23-year-old received the first nod in goal over Kevin Lankinen, but it's expected the Canucks will utilize both netminders regularly until Thatcher Demko (knee) can play. Silovs is essentially in an extended audition for the backup role, though he'll need to put together a better performance than he did in this contest to avoid a demotion to AHL Abbotsford.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Set to start Wednesday
Silovs is expected to start at home against Calgary on Wednesday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
Silovs is going into this campaign with just nine regular-season games worth of NHL experience, though he held his own with AHL Abbotsford in 2023-24, posting a 2.74 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 34 regular-season outings. Silovs will compete with Kevin Lankinen for starts to begin the season, but Thatcher Demko (knee) is expected to assume the No. 1 goaltending slot once he's healthy.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Quiets Edmonton in preseason finale
Silovs stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 4-1 preseason win over the Oilers.
Silovs limited the damage to an Evan Bouchard goal in the second period. Over three preseason appearances, Silovs has gone 2-1-0 with six goals allowed on 72 shots. The 23-year-old netminder is likely to open the season in a timeshare with Kevin Lankinen in Vancouver's crease. Silovs will need to play well to keep his spot once Thatcher Demko (knee) is cleared to play -- Silovs is waivers-exempt and can easily be shuttled to AHL Abbotsford if he doesn't give the Canucks a chance to compete in his starts.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Facing Edmonton
Silovs will get the home start Friday versus Edmonton, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Silovs will play the whole game, according to coach Rick Tocchet. Silovs is currently battling Kevin Lankinen for the No. 1 job in Vancouver as Thatcher Demko is out of action with a knee problem. Silovs was 3-0-1 in four regular-season games with the Canucks last season and was 5-5 with a 2.91 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 10 playoff appearances, as the Canucks lost in seven games in the second round to the Oilers.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Starting Saturday
Silovs will protect the road goal versus the Flames in Saturday's preseason game, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Silovs is slated for his second preseason start, and he is expected to go two periods. The 23-year-old is in line to begin the year as backup to Kevin Lankinen if Thatcher Demko (knee) isn't ready for Opening Night.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Set for preseason action
Silovs was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's preseason contest against Seattle.
Silovs posted a 3-0-1 record with a 2.47 GAA and an .881 save percentage in four regular-season outings with the Canucks in 2023-24. He also went 5-5 in the playoffs, allowing 29 goals on 283 shots. If Thatcher Demko (knee) isn't ready for the start of the 2024-25 campaign, Silovs will compete for starts with Kevin Lankinen.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: On ice Thursday
Silovs (knee) participated in Thursday's informal skate with his teammates, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Silovs was held out of Olympic qualifying matches with Latvia due to knee inflammation but appears to be trending in the right direction. The Canucks may need the 23-year-old netminder to start the season between the pipes, as No. 1 backstop Thatcher Demko is also dealing with a knee issue. For his part, Silovs has just nine regular-season games under his belt but should be expected to see upwards of 30 outings in 2024-25 -- perhaps more depending on how long Demko is shelved. Vancouver kicks off its preseason schedule Sept. 24 against Seattle, which could be Silovs first start of the campaign if his knee is given the all-clear.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Dealing with knee issue
Silovs has knee ligament inflammation and will not play for Latvia in the 2026 Olympic qualifiers, Patrick Johnston of the Province reports Thursday.
After being left off of Latvia's roster on Wednesday, there's now a reason behind Silovs' removal from the team. In Latvia's press release, they made note that this injury would prevent Silovs from performing to the highest of his capabilities. It'll be something to monitor, but this could imply that Silovs' injury isn't overly serious, but rather more of a precautionary move. The 23-year-old is expected to be Thatcher Demko's top backup in Vancouver for the 2024-25 season, who is also currently dealing with a lingering knee issue.
