Top Canucks News

  • Canucks' Ilya Mikheyev: Provides helper in loss

    Mikheyev notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

    Mikheyev has bounced back from a five-game slump with a goal and an assist over his last two outings. It's helped that he's moved up to a line with J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser -- the third party on that line has typically seen an uptick in offense every time head coach Rick Tocchet shuffles his forward combinations. Mikheyev needs the spark, as he's managed 28 points, 125 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating through 64 appearances. That's the same point total he had in 46 games a year ago, though he needs just five more to set a career high.

  • Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Secures career-high point total

    Hughes notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

    What was long expected is now official -- Hughes has set a career high in points for the third straight year. He's picked up seven points over six outings in March and now has 77 points, including 29 on the power play, through 68 appearances this season. The defenseman has added 164 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-36 rating as one of the top overall blueliners in the league in 2023-24.

  • Canucks' Brock Boeser: Scores early in loss

    Boeser scored a goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

    Boeser snapped a five-game goal drought just 1:11 into the contest. The winger stumbled right after the All-Star break, but he's rebounded with six goals and six assists over his last 12 outings. Overall, he's racked up 36 tallies, 66 points, 181 shots on net and a plus-27 rating through 68 contests in his career-best campaign.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Yields two goals in loss

    DeSmith allowed two goals on 24 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

    It was a relatively low-event game, but the Capitals scored twice in a span of 1:53 in the second period to turn things around. That left DeSmith with his second straight loss since he took over the starting role due to Thatcher Demko's knee injury. DeSmith is down to 8-5-6 with a 2.87 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 21 appearances. DeSmith is likely to continue handling a large role -- the Canucks aren't scheduled for any back-to-backs over the next week, and Demko's not expected to return until close to the end of March at the earliest.

  • Canucks' Tyler Myers: Ready to rock

    Myers (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus the Capitals, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Myers will draw back in after a five-game absence. He'll be on the second pairing, while Noah Juulsen will exit the lineup to make room. Myers has 23 points over 62 appearances this season.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Slated to start vs. Wasington

    DeSmith will guard the home net Saturday against the Capitals, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

    DeSmith will make his second straight start due to absence of Thatcher Demko (knee). The 32-year-old DeSmith has made 20 appearances this season, going 8-4-6 with an .897 save percentage and a 2.91 GAA. The Capitals rank 29th in the league with 2.63 goals per game this campaign.

  • Canucks' Christian Felton: Links up with Vancouver

    Felton signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks on Thursday.

    Felton just wrapped up his senior season at Merrimack College. He had 17 points over 98 career NCAA games, which suggests he'll function as a defensive defenseman. Given the Canucks' positioning in the standings, it's likely Felton will begin his pro career at AHL Abbotsford.

  • Canucks' Ian Cole: Deals helper Wednesday

    Cole managed an assist, five blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Cole snapped a nine-game point drought when he set up J.T. Miller's goal in the opening minute. The 35-year-old Cole has made few scoring contributions this year with nine points over 66 appearances. He's added 142 blocked shots, 70 hits, 57 PIM, 53 shots on net and a plus-12 rating while playing in a bottom-four role.

  • Canucks' Conor Garland: Supplies assist in overtime loss

    Garland notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Garland remains warm on offense -- he has four points over his last five outings. The winger set up a Nikita Zadorov tally in the second period of this one. Garland is up to 32 points, 149 shots on net and a plus-13 rating through 67 appearances. He's seen mainly third-line usage this season, offering decent depth scoring and little else in that role, making him a fringe option in fantasy.

  • Canucks' Brock Boeser: Reaches 30-assist mark

    Boeser registered an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Boeser has three assists over his last four games, but he's gone five contests without a goal. The 27-year-old helped out on J.T. Miller's tally in the opening minute of the game. Boeser has 35 goals, 30 helpers, 180 shots on net and a plus-26 rating through 67 appearances this season, by far the best of his NHL career.

  • Canucks' Ilya Mikheyev: Finds twine Wednesday

    Mikheyev scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Mikheyev snapped a goal drought that dated back to Dec. 19, a span of 34 contests in which he managed just nine assists. While he's managed to stay in the lineup through the slump, he has seen his ice time stay in line with that of a middle-six forward. He's up to 11 goals, 27 points, 125 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-1 rating over 63 outings overall.

  • Canucks' Nikita Zadorov: Gordie Howe hat trick Wednesday

    Zadorov scored a goal, dished an assist, doled out five hits and had a fight in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Zadorov got the Gordie Howe hat trick done in the first 25 minutes of the game. He assisted on an Ilya Mikheyev tally in the first period before scoring one of his own in the second. Less than a minute after his goal, Zadorov fought Josh Manson. With six points over his last 13 contests, Zadorov has been okay on offense. He's at 16 points, 68 shots on net, 140 hits, 55 blocked shots, 96 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 61 appearances between the Canucks and the Flames this season.

  • Canucks' J.T. Miller: Sets career high in goals

    Miller scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Miller's tally 24 seconds into the game was his 33rd goal this season, setting a new career high for the center. He's racked up nine tallies and eight assists over his last 11 outings to carry the torch on offense for the Canucks. Overall, he's at 87 points, 154 shots on net, 181 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-29 rating through 67 contests. He's got an outside chance at a 40-goal campaign, and he's on pace to top 100 points for the first time in his career.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Can't maintain lead

    DeSmith stopped 30 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    DeSmith was spotted a 3-0 lead early in the second period, but it slipped away over the final 35 minutes of regulation. A pinball goal in overtime completed the collapse for the Canucks. It's a concerning start to DeSmith's temporary run as the No. 1 goalie with Thatcher Demko (knee) expected to miss at least two weeks. DeSmith is down to 8-4-6 with a 2.91 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 20 appearances. The Canucks will at least be at home for the rest of March, so travel won't be an issue. They host the Capitals on Saturday.

  • Canucks' Tyler Myers: Not ready yet

    Myers (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Avalanche, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Myers was reportedly deemed close to a return as of Tuesday, but his absence will reach a fifth game. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Capitals. Once Myers rejoins the lineup, Noah Juulsen is likely to see a smaller role.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Links up with minor-league club

    Pettersson was recalled from his loan with Orebro HK of the SHL and assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

    Pettersson has spent much of 2023-24 on loan with Vasteras IK of the second-tier Swedish league, where he had 14 points in 34 contests. He'll get his first taste of North American hockey to close out the campaign, but the 20-year-old is likely a few years away from NHL readiness.
