Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Lands on waivers
Brannstrom was placed on waivers Sunday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.
Brannstrom figures to join AHL Abbotsford, should he clear waivers. The 25-year-old defenseman had been a healthy scratch in Vancouver's last six games after logging three goals and eight points in 28 contests earlier this year.

Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Notches power-play assist
Brannstrom logged a power-play assist, four blocked shots and five PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Injuries to Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) and Filip Hronek (lower body) have left the Canucks scrambling for a power-play quarterback. That job belongs to Brannstrom for now, and those injuries have also bought him a bit more job security after he was scratched five times over eight contests between Dec. 10-23. His helper Tuesday was his first power-play point since 2022-23. The 25-year-old has eight points, 33 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 28 outings this season. He's worth a speculative add in fantasy as long as he's playing on the first power-play unit.

Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Role shrinking in December
Brannstrom has been scratched in five of the Canucks' last eight games after sitting out Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Brannstrom played a significant role early in the season as Derek Forbort was out due to a personal situation and a knee injury. Now that Forbort is healthy, Brannstrom's playing time has dropped as the two defensemen compete for one spot on the third pairing. The 25-year-old has seven points, 29 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 26 appearances in his first year with the Canucks.

Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Finds twine in win
Brannstrom netted a goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Brannstrom buried a one-timer past Ville Husso off a feed from Elias Pettersson to tie the game at 4-4 with 3:20 left in the third period. It was Brannstrom's first goal since Nov. 16 against the Blackhawks. The 25-year-old has been a fixture on Vancouver's third defensive pairing, and he's chipped in three goals and four assists through 20 games. Brannstrom is tracking toward a career year -- his career high in points is 20, which he set last season.

Canucks' Erik Brannstrom: Lends helper
Brannstrom posted an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Brannstrom continues to find offense from a third-pairing role. He has four points (two goals, two assists) over his last four outings, and he's added 11 shots on net in that span. This season, the 25-year-old blueliner is at six points, 21 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 14 appearances. He topped out at 20 points in the 2023-24 campaign, his last one with the Senators, but perhaps the Canucks have unlocked another level in Brannstrom's play.

Brannstrom helped out on Pius Suter's go-ahead goal in the second period before adding an insurance tally himself in the third. The 25-year-old Brannstrom has emerged as a regular on the Canucks' third pairing. He's up to four points, 15 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 11 contests this season. He'll have to compete with Noah Juulsen for playing time, but that appears to be a battle Brannstrom has an advantage in so far.

Brannstrom was summoned from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.
Brannstrom was sent to the minors Thursday, and his quick return to the team suggests his demotion was just a cap-saving move. The 25-year-old defenseman has three assists in two appearances with Abbotsford as well as an assist in three outings with Vancouver in 2024-25.

Brannstrom signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Colorado on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Senators' Erik Brannstrom: Grabs assist in win
Brannstrom recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Oilers.
Brannstrom has helpers in back-to-back games but remains mired in a 21-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 13 versus the Blue Jackets. With only 18 shots over that stretch, Brannstrom is going to need to start shooting more if he is going to find the back of the net. Still, the blueliner has been providing some offensive upside of late with four helpers in his last seven outings.

Brannstrom had a brief foray at forward, but the Senators have opted to move him back to defense, where he's often seen bottom-four minutes. He's at 10 points, 32 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 30 appearances.
