Nikita Zadorov News
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Nikita Zadorov (undisclosed) will return from a one-game absence on Monday versus the Rangers, replacing Noah Juulsen in the lineup. Zadorov has made 35 appearances this season between the Canucks and the Calgary Flames, posting eight points (one goal, seven assists) and averaging a block per game while amassing 61 hits. He's set to play a big role at the back against one of the most talented offenses in the league.
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Nikita Zadorov will be sidelined for Saturday's matchup against New Jersey with an undisclosed injury. The 28-year-old will miss his first action as a Canuck since he arrived via a trade from Calgary on Nov. 30. Zadorov debuted with an assist for his new team, but he's added only one more point to his tally in 14 appearances and continues to be more known as a stay-at-home defenseman. The Russian rearguard has notched 16 blocks and 20 hits in Canucks colors without the puck. He will be replaced by Carson Soucy, who's ready to return from a lower-body injury to make his first appearance since Nov. 12
The Vancouver Canucks have acquired defenseman Nikita Zadorov from the Calgary Flames in exchange for two draft picks. The picks are a 2024 fifth-round and a 2026 third-round selection. Vancouver bolsters their defense by adding Zadorov to the team, as he should immediately see second-pairing minutes for the Canucks. The six-foot-six Russian also adds a physical element, posting 41 hits and 19 blocks over 21 games with the Flames this season. Calgary gets a few low-end picks back and gains some cap space in the deal.
Calgary Flames defenseman Nikita Zadorov has admitted that he hasn't received any contract offers from the team despite heading into the final year of his current pact. Zadorov was signed up for two years and $7.5 million in 2022. He reacted by exploding for a career-high 14 goals in 2022-23. The towering blue-liner added seven assists in 82 games while registering 130 shots on goal and 174 hits. Zadorov has said he wants to remain a Flame "for life," but it looks like the team currently isn't on the same page.
