Canucks' Phil Di Giuseppe: Grabs helper Saturday
Di Giuseppe registered an assist, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Di Giuseppe has a helper and eight hits over two NHL appearances this season. Head coach Rick Tocchet has plugged the 31-year-old forward right into a top-six role at even strength. Di Giuseppe's style is to be a heavy hitter who can chip in a little depth offense, but if he falters, Nils Hoglander or Max Sasson could get back into the lineup. Don't expect Di Giuseppe to score regularly enough to be an option in fantasy.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Records assist Saturday
Myers produced an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Myers ended a five-game slump when he assisted on a Jake DeBrusk tally in the second period. The 34-year-old Myers has been playing on the top pairing in the absence of Filip Hronek (lower body), but the extra playing time continues to be a burden rather than a benefit. Myers is at eight points, 31 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 38 hits, 24 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 33 appearances. While he chips in with lots of non-scoring production, he's a risky option in most fantasy formats.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Sets up equalizer
Suter notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
The helper was Suter's second over his last seven games. The 28-year-old's offense has taken a significant drop since J.T. Miller returned, bumping Suter out of the top six. Suter is at 11 goals, eight assists, 58 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 32 appearances, but he'd likely have to move back to the wing to play above the third line, and that's not even a guarantee given the Canucks' strong wing depth.

Canucks' Conor Garland: Offers assist Saturday
Garland notched an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Garland's goal drought is up to 11 games, and his helper was his first point since he had two assists versus the Blues on Dec. 10. The 28-year-old winger had been one of the Canucks' most consistent players early on, but it looks like he's starting to falter. He's at 26 points, 74 shots on net, 21 hits, 15 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 33 appearances this season.

Canucks' J.T. Miller: Generates assist
Miller notched an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Miller helped out on a Quinn Hughes tally late in the first period. The 31-year-old Miller has four helpers over his last six games and continues to see top-six minutes, though not at the same volume as in previous seasons. He's contributed six goals, 14 assists, 39 shots on net, 49 hits and a minus-1 rating through 23 appearances, and he's not blocking a lot of shots after logging at least 50 blocks in three straight campaigns. Miller still has all-around appeal in fantasy, but his recent struggles make him a buy-low target.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Nets goal Saturday
DeBrusk scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
DeBrusk had gone four games without a point, matching his longest drought of the season. He's been a strong finisher in December with eight tallies and one assist over 11 contests this month. The winger is at 15 goals, 24 points, 72 shots on net, 50 hits, 21 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 33 appearances. While the Canucks' top forwards have struggled a bit lately, DeBrusk is still finding success in a top-six role.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Three-point effort in overtime loss
Hughes scored a goal on five shots and added two assists in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Hughes has three multi-point efforts over his last six outings. The 25-year-old defenseman did everything he could to keep the Canucks in this contest, and it was good enough for one point in the standings. Hughes is up to eight goals, 40 points, 108 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 33 appearances, giving him a chance to take a run at a 100-point season.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Two tallies in overtime loss
Boeser scored two goals on three shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Boeser ended a four-game slump with that pair of goals, but it wasn't enough to get the Canucks back on track. The winger is up to 10 goals, 21 points, 50 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-5 rating over 26 appearances. Boeser continues to log top-six minutes, and his shooting percentage of 20 is roughly the same as his 2023-24 regular season finish of 19.6, though his decrease of about half a shot per game has taken a chunk out of his offense this campaign.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Stumbles in overtime loss
Lankinen allowed five goals on 20 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Lankinen had one of his worst games of the year. The Canucks were able to overcome three of the deficits he created, but Jake Sanderson ended it in favor of the Senators just 13 seconds into overtime. This was Lankinen's second start and defeat in a row (0-1-1), dropping him to 14-5-4 with a 2.61 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 23 starts this season. Expect Thatcher Demko to get the starting nod Monday versus the Sharks.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to start Saturday
Lankinen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease Saturday versus Ottawa.
Lankinen stopped 18 of the 20 shots he faced in Thursday's loss to Vegas. He has a 14-5-3 record with three shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 22 appearances this season. Ottawa has won five straight games and is tied with Vancouver for 14th in the league with 3.09 goals per game.

Canucks' Danton Heinen: Posts helper in loss
Heinen recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Heinen has collected two goals and two assists over his last five contests. The Canucks are getting more offense out of their depth players than their stars lately, with Heinen being a prime example of that, though the 29-year-old was in a deep rut prior to his more recent success. He's up to 14 points, 30 shots on net, 37 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 32 appearances this season, mainly as a bottom-six option.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Adds assist in loss
Sherwood registered an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Sherwood hadn't earned an assist since Nov. 23 versus the Senators, but he had picked up five goals over his last seven contests. The 29-year-old winger also continues to be a physical force -- his three hits Thursday matched his season low, a mark he's logged seven times in 32 games. Sherwood has 18 points, 63 shots on net, a plus-9 rating and 194 hits. No player has reached the 400-hit mark in a single season, but that's a threshold Sherwood would easily surpass if he stays on his current pace, considering he's averaging just over six per game.

Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Nets lone goal in loss
Blueger scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Blueger opened the scoring at 8:15 of the first period, but that was all the Canucks could muster against Adin Hill. The 30-year-old Blueger hadn't scored since Nov. 23, a span of 12 games without a goal. During that stretch, he produced four assists while playing in a bottom-six role. The Latvian forward is at five goals, 10 helpers, 38 shots on net, 45 hits, 21 blocked shots and 15 PIM through 32 contests this season, giving him some value in deeper fantasy formats.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Gives up two goals in loss
Lankinen allowed two goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Lankinen returned from an illness and put in a good effort to keep the game even through two periods. William Karlsson had the game-winning goal early in the third period, sending Lankinen to his third loss in his last five outings. The 29-year-old netminder dropped to 14-5-3 with a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 22 games. Thatcher Demko will likely start Saturday versus the Senators, and it's possible the Canucks opt for some sort of timeshare in the crease now that both goalies are healthy.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Set to face Vegas
Lankinen is expected to start in Thursday's road tilt against Vegas.
Lankinen earned a 27-save shutout over Florida in his previous start last Thursday. He was briefly unavailable after that game due to an illness, but Lankinen was healthy enough to dress as the backup netminder Wednesday. The 29-year-old goaltender has a 14-4-3 record, 2.52 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 appearances in 2024-25. Vegas ranks sixth in goals per game with 3.45.

Canucks' Derek Forbort: Playing Thursday
Forbort (illness) is set to play Thursday versus the Golden Knights.
Forbort will draw into the lineup for Erik Brannstrom on the third pairing. The 32-year-old Forbort missed three games while under the weather, which followed a lengthy absence due to a knee injury. He has one assist and six blocked shots over five games this season.
