Brisebois was a healthy scratch in the last three games. He hasn't earned a point in three NHL appearances this season while posting two shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits. If Noah Juulsen (undisclosed) remains unavailable, Vancouver could recall Brisebois for defensive depth ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus the Sabres.

Canucks' Guillaume Brisebois: Called up from AHL Abbotsford
Rotowire
Brisebois was recalled from the minors Thursday.
Brisebois' demotion Wednesday was in fact a temporary cap-saving measure. Even with the blueliner back in the lineup, he is far from a lock to play in Thursday's matchup with the Kings and is more likely to serve as an emergency depth option alongside Vincent Desharnais.

Canucks' Guillaume Brisebois: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
Brisebois was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
Brisebois spent over two weeks with the Canucks and appeared in three games. He didn't record any points but racked up four blocked shots and two hits while averaging 15:48 of ice time. The 27-year-old should see more consistent time in the lineup in the minors.

Canucks' Guillaume Brisebois: Waived for AHL demotion
Rotowire

Canucks' Guillaume Brisebois: Still not skating
Rotowire
Brisebois has yet to begin skating since suffering his upper-body injury 10 days ago, Jeff Paterson of The Hockey News reports.
With Brisebois not even skating yet, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him land on injured reserve in order to free up a spot on the 23-man roster, especially after Teddy Blueger (bruise) was downgraded to week-to-week. Unless Carson Soucy (undisclosed) is ready to return against Edmonton on Saturday, Akito Hirose figures to continue filling out the third pairing. While Brisebois hasn't been given a clear recovery timeline, fantasy players can probably consider him questionable at best to face the Flyers on Tuesday.
Brisebois will be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Edmonton due to an undisclosed injury, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Brisebois had a goal and three points in 17 games with Vancouver last season. If Brisebois is unavailable Wednesday the chances of Akito Hirose, who was recalled by Vancouver on Wednesday, drawing into the lineup would increase.

Canucks' Guillaume Brisebois: Not suiting up
Rotowire
Brisebois (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday versus the Oilers, Jeff Paterson of The Hockey News reports.
Brisebois was labeled a game-time decision but wasn't able to suit up. Even when healthy, he may be on the fringe of the roster for the Canucks as a projected third-pairing defenseman. Akito Hirose and Noah Juulsen will be on the bottom pairing Wednesday, while Brisebois' next chance to play is Saturday versus the Oilers.

Canucks' Guillaume Brisebois: Nets first career goal
Rotowire
Brisebois scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Stars.
Brisebois made his NHL debut back in 2018-19, but he's finally found some offense this season. He netted his first career tally at 4:09 of the third period. Through 12 outings this season, he has three points, 12 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, six hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating. The 25-year-old should continue to see a bottom-four role until the Canucks get some blueliners back from injuries.

Canucks' Guillaume Brisebois: Finds helper in win
Rotowire
Brisebois registered an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.
This was Brisebois' first point in eight games since he returned to the big club in February. He helped out on Sheldon Dries' third-period tally, which gave the Canucks a 4-0 lead. Brisebois has two assists, 11 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-1 rating through 11 contests this season. He's likely miscast on the second pairing currently, but the Canucks' injuries on the blue line have necessitated him playing more than he has at any other point in his NHL career.
Brisebois signed a two-year contract extension with the Canucks on Tuesday.
Brisebois' new deal is a two-way contract in 2023-24 and transfers to a one-way contract for the following season. The 25-year-old has just one assist through 19 career NHL contests, so it's unlikely he serves as much more than organizational depth in the near future.
