Canucks' Trey Fix-Wolansky: Two goals for Abbotsford
Fix-Wolansky scored twice in AHL Abbotsford's 5-4 shootout win over Coachella Valley on Sunday.
These were Fix-Wolansky's first two goals for Abbotsford. He's added four assists, 17 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over six games this season. The 27-year-old forward will likely spend most or all of the campaign in the AHL.

Canucks' Jimmy Schuldt: Trio of helpers for Abbotsford
Schuldt logged three assists in AHL Abbotsford's 7-3 win over Coachella Valley on Saturday.
Schuldt is up to five points in five games to start the season. He's never had more than 32 points in an AHL regular season, so this scoring pace won't last. Schuldt has enough experience to be a call-up option if the Canucks suffer too many injuries to the NHL defense corps.

Canucks' Adam Novotny: Big game in OHL win
Novotny scored three goals and added two assists in OHL Peterborough's 6-0 win over Barrie on Saturday.
Novotny had gone five games without a goal entering Saturday, but he made up for it with his best game of the season. He's now at seven goals and nine assists across 10 contests on the year. The Canucks' prospect is among the most talented players in the OHL this year and should have no trouble sustaining a high level on offense.

Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Taking next step forward
Karlsson scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
The young forward is taking another step after his 15-goal, 35-point season last year. Karlsson has two goals and five assists in 10 games. His 19 shots reflect an increased willingness to snipe, and at this rate, he'd deliver 160 on opposing netminders. His career mark is 116. Karlsson isn't going to make or break a fantasy roster, but he might help off the wire in the right situation.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Just two points in last five games
Pettersson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.
Pettersson has a deceptive 10 points in 10 games this season. All three of his goals have come on the power play, and he has just two points (one goal, one assist) in his last five games. Pettersson does have a remarkable 30 hits, which projects to a mind-blowing 240-plus for the season. He won't deliver that, but smart managers will remember that Pettersson's best offensive seasons (102 and 89 points) also included strong hit totals (74 and 125, respectively). He's at his best when he's physically engaged.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Sixth straight loss
Lankinen made 31 saves in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
The ice was tilted at Lankinen -- his opponent, Dennis Hildeby, saw just 14 shots overall -- and he ended up the game's third star for his efforts. The beleaguered netminder won opening night (Sept. 29) in a wild one over the Oilers and has been snakebitten ever since. Lankinen is on a six-game losing streak, and no amount of antacid will solve his 6.40 GAA and .807 save percentage this season. This team is bad. Lankinen is trying, but he's a fantasy risk every time he hits the ice.

Canucks' Marco Rossi: Unavailable Saturday
Rossi (illness) won't play against Tampa Bay on Saturday, Canucks play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor reports.
Rossi is feeling under the weather and will miss at least one game. He notched three goals and one assist in his first two outings of the 2026-27 campaign, but he hasn't earned a point in his last seven appearances. Arshdeep Bains will replace Rossi in Saturday's lineup against the Lightning.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tending twine Saturday
Lankinen will defend the road net against Tampa Bay on Saturday, per Canucks Insider.
Lankinen has allowed 29 goals on 131 shots during a 1-5-0 start to the 2026-27 campaign. He has surrendered five or more goals in four games during that span. Tampa Bay (5-2-0) is tied for 17th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this season.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Nets third goal of season
Pettersson scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Pettersson has found a scoring touch early in 2026-27, earning three goals over nine games. The 22-year-old defenseman is seeing steady playing time in a top-four role, and he's topped the 20-minute mark in two of his last three outings. He's added totals of 10 shots on net, 17 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating, so he could have some appeal in deeper formats for his non-scoring work.

Canucks' Liam Ohgren: Opens scoring Thursday
Ohgren scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
The tally snapped a five-game slump for Ohgren. He's been firmly in a middle-six role this season, which will give him chances to show off his potential on a team in need of a breakout player or two. The 22-year-old has two goals, three assists, 12 shots on net, eight hits and a minus-3 rating across nine appearances.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Pockets helper in season debut
Chytil picked up an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Seeing his first action of the season after finally recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered back in February, Chytil dug the puck out of the corner during a stretch of 4-on-4 hockey and set up an Elias Pettersson tally late in the first period that gave the Canucks a 2-0 lead. Chytil saw time on the second power-play unit as well as on the penalty kill, and the 27-year-old has been dropped right into a key role in the top six. Since being acquired from the Rangers at the 2024-25 trade deadline as part of the J.T. Miller deal, Chytil has only been healthy enough to play 28 games for the Canucks, collecting five goals on 68 shots with five assists, but an extended run of better injury luck should allow him to be more productive.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Tough loss in south Florida
Merilainen made 36 saves in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
The 24-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period as the Canucks threatened a road upset, but Merilainen couldn't stop the red-hot Brady Tkachuk from striking twice in the final nine minutes of regulation, including the game-tying goal with just 13 seconds left on the clock. Tkachuk then finished his hat trick with a slick move into the slot in OT to create an open look on Merilainen. The former Ottawa goalie has started three of the last four games for Vancouver, stopping 102 of 111 shots (.919 save percentage) over that stretch, and on the season he's 1-1-1 in six appearances with a 2.51 GAA and .926 save percentage. Merilainen's strong play appears to be earning him an audition in the top spot on the depth chart ahead of the struggling Kevin Lankinen.

Canucks' Brandon Buhr: Traded Thursday
Buhr and Jacob Quillan were acquired by Vancouver from Toronto on Thursday in exchange for Aatu Raty.
Buhr had two assists in five outings with AHL Toronto in 2025-26. He also had 19 goals and 36 points in 35 outings with Union College last year. Buhr hasn't played yet this campaign, but he'll presumably spend most, if not all, of 2026-27 in the minors.

Canucks' Jacob Quillan: Shipped to Vancouver
Quillan and Brandon Buhr were traded to the Canucks from the Maple Leafs on Thursday in exchange for Aatu Raty.
Quillan gets a significant bump in opportunity, as it may not take much for him to find his way to the Canucks' NHL roster. The 24-year-old has 24 games of NHL experience to his game, earning three points and 47 hits in those contests. That said, his playing style would likely be best suited to the bottom six in the long run.

Canucks' Filip Chytil: Returning against Cats
Chytil (shoulder) will be in the lineup versus Florida on Thursday, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.
Chytil hasn't appeared in an NHL game since Feb. 2 versus Utah due to his shoulder problem. With the 27-year-old Czech cleared to go, he figures to slot into the third-line center role while also linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit. In limited action last year, Chytil notched three goals and zero assists in 12 regular-season tilts.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Starting against Florida
Merilainen was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Florida.
Merilainen will draw a second consecutive start after he allowed three goals on 38 shots during a 3-2 regulation loss to the Islanders on the road Tuesday. He's appeared in five games to begin the regular season, going 1-1-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .927 save percentage.
