Kiefer Sherwood Tallies Two Points On Thursday

Vancouver Canucks left wing Kiefer Sherwood tallied two points during their 4-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday evening. Sherwood did all of his damage in the second period. He first tallied the primary helper on Jake DeBrusk's 26th goal of the season. Later in the frame, he would find the back of the net, which served as the eventual game-winner. Sherwood has now tallied at least one point in each of his previous four games and a goal in each of his past two. Over his last 14 contests, Sherwood has enjoyed a strong stretch of performances, tallying 15 points with five goals over this stretch. Through a career-high 75 games, Sherwood has enjoyed a strong campaign, scoring 19 goals and adding 21 helpers. He will look to stay hot against the Wild on Saturday evening.

Conor Garland Dishes Out Three Helpers In Overtime Victory

Vancouver Canucks right wing Conor Garland dished out three helpers during their 6-5 overtime victory over the Dallas Stars. Garland tallied his first helper on Jake DeBrusk's power-play goal in the third frame. Later in the period, Garland would tally the primary assist on Pius Suter's goal, which cut Dallas' lead to just one goal in the final minute. After the Cancuks scored again with just 10 seconds left to force overtime, Garland would tally his final helper on Kiefer Sherwood's game-winner. Over his past eight contests, Garland has found the back of the net twice and added five helpers. Through 77 games this season, Garland has scored 19 goals and added 29 helpers. He will look to stay hot on Thursday against the Avalanche.

Tyler Myers Not Expected To Play Against Ducks

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers (undisclosed) is unlikely to play on Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks. "Something happened last game," Canucks head coach Tocchet said on Friday. "Tried to play through it, that's 'Mysie,' but we shut him down the last 12. Probably won't play tomorrow." The games are coming thick and fast as the end of the regular season approaches, and Myers may also be unavailable for Sunday's contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. The towering defenseman has notched 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) in 71 appearances, blocking 125 shots and delivering 87 hits. Victor Mancini will likely be inserted into the lineup for Saturday's action. In nine outings with the Canucks, Mancini has managed two assists with 14 blocks, and 13 hits.

Filip Chytil Could Miss Rest Of Season

Vancouver Canucks center Filip Chytil (concussion) may have played his final game of the 2024-25 season. He is working his way back from a concussion, but it's unclear when he will be ready to rejoin the lineup. Chytil has a history of concussions, and the team will certainly want to avoid rushing his return. The former Ranger will sit out a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken. The Canucks offense also remains without Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) and Nils Hoglander (undisclosed), giving Pius Suter and Teddy Blueger additional fantasy value.

Kiefer Sherwood Busy In Victory

Vancouver Canucks left wing Kiefer Sherwood tallied three points in their 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders. In the second frame, Sherwood opened the scoring with a tip-in goal. Later in the frame, Sherwood tallied the secondary assist on Aatu Raty's third goal of the campaign. In the final period, Sherwood finished his evening by scoring the empty-netter. During this game, he logged four hits, four shots on goal, and one blocked shot. Over his last six contests entering Wednesday, Sherwood tallied four points (one goal) over his last six contests. However, before this stretch, the 29-year-old tallied just two points (one goal) over his last nine games. Even though Sherwood does not produce consistently on the score sheet, he does have value in deeper category formats, as he has averaged 5.9 hits per game.

Pius Suter Tallies Two Points On Monday

Vancouver Canucks center Pius Suter tallied two points during their 4-3 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday evening. Suter would open the scoring in the first period as he found the back of the net for the 21st time this season. Later in the third, Suter would tally the primary assist on Connor Garland's game-tying goal to force overtime in the final minute. This outing snapped a two-game scoreless streak for Suter. Before this brief two-game skid, Suter tallied seven points (five goals) over his last nine contests while tallying 17 shots on goal with 11 hits. Through 70 contests this season, Suter has already set a career-high in goals (21) and points (39). Fantasy managers should continue to view Suter as a viable option in standard formats while he continues to see top minutes in the Vancouver offense.

Elias Pettersson To Sit Out At Least One Week

Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) has left the team's road trip and will miss the entire week of action. The Canucks have four more stops to go on the trip, beginning with Monday's clash against the New Jersey Devils. Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) has also returned to Vancouver, meaning Jake DeBrusk and Pius Suter are expected to step into top-line roles on Monday. At the same time, Jonathan Lekkerimaki and Teddy Blueger are likely to skate on the second line. Aatu Raty and Linus Karlsson will fill the gaps in the lineup.

Thatcher Demko Returns To Action Versus Devils

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (lower body) has been confirmed as the starter for Monday's matchup against the New Jersey Devils. He will make his long-awaited comeback after missing 15 games due to a lower-body injury. Inconsistency has been an issue for Demko in 2024-25, as he has posted a 6-6-3 record. The 29-year-old boasts one shutout and has allowed 2.87 goals with a .891 save percentage. The Canucks will have Demko back on Monday, but they have lost Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) and Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) up front, which complicates their life against New Jersey.

Thatcher Demko Logs Full Practice Sunday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (lower body) practiced at full capacity on Sunday. This was his first full practice session since Demko suffered a lower-body injury six weeks ago. On Thursday, it was reported that Demko would return to the lineup as Kevin Lankinen's backup against the St. Louis Blues, but he has remained sidelined. There is still no timetable for Demko's return, but he appears to be nearing his comeback. Demko has battled three separate health issues this season, which has limited him to only 17 starts. He holds a 6-6-3 record with a 2.87 goals-against average, a .891 save percentage, and one shutout.

Nils Hoglander • LW • Canucks

Nils Hoglander Iffy For Monday

Vancouver Canucks left wing Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) missed Sunday's practice and is considered day-to-day. He suffered an undisclosed injury in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers. Hoglander has operated as a top-line winger lately for Vancouver, averaging a point per game over his past six appearances. He has totaled 21 points (six goals, 15 assists) in 66 games over the season. Jake DeBrusk may regain a top-line spot if Hoglander is unavailable on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. DeBrusk has shown off his playmaking skills recently, notching assists in three of the past four games, giving him 40 points (23 goals, 17 assists) in 70 games for the season.

Elias Pettersson • C • Canucks

Elias Pettersson Considered Day-To-Day

Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) was labeled day-to-day by head coach Rick Tocchet on Sunday. Pettersson was injured in Saturday's loss to the New York Rangers. It looks like the Swedish star avoided a serious injury, but he may still miss some time. The Canucks will return to action on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. Pius Suter and Teddy Blueger will likely see extra action if Pettersson can't play on Monday. Suter is the more attractive fantasy option between the two, as the Swiss forward has had a productive campaign with a career-high 20 goals and 34 points in 69 games.

Nils Hoglander Hurt In Saturday's Loss

Vancouver Canucks left wing Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) missed most of Saturday's 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers. He logged only 7:03 of ice time, finishing the contest with one shot on goal and two hits. Vancouver also lost Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) in Saturday's loss. After the game, Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet told the media that both players are considered doubtful for the next game on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. Hoglander and Pettersson have been part of the team's top-six group, and a significant frontline shakeup could be on the horizon for the Canucks.

Elias Pettersson Exits Saturday's Loss Early

Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) failed to finish Saturday's contest against the New York Rangers. He seemed to have gotten hurt during a faceoff in the second period. Pettersson logged only 7:50 of action in a 5-3 loss and didn't do any scoring for the first time in seven games. The Canucks must shake up their first line if Pettersson has to miss additional time, and the team's center depth will be tested since Filip Chytil (upper body) is already sidelined. Vancouver will be back in action on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils.

Thatcher Demko Dresses As Backup Thursday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (lower body) will return to the lineup on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues, dressing as the backup to Kevin Lankinen. Demko has been out of action since Feb. 8 due to a lower-body injury. Now that he is once again considered game-ready, Demko could return to the net on Saturday when the Canucks take on the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Demko owns a 6-6-3 record for the season with 2.87 goals allowed. At the start of February, he posted his first shutout of the season, and Demko's save percentage stands at .891. Demko's return has a negative impact on Lankinen's fantasy stock, but he has been solid during his absence and will likely continue to see significant playing time.

Thatcher Demko To Join Team For Upcoming Road Trip

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (lower body) will accompany the team on its upcoming six-game road trip. On Tuesday, Demko participated in a full team skate for the first time since he suffered a lower-body injury on Feb. 8. Demko, who has posted a 6-3-3 record this season, seems to be nearing his return to action. "I know it's only a morning skate, but for him to get the full net is a big step for us to see where he'll be at here in two, three days," Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet said on Tuesday. Vancouver begins its trip on Thursday with a visit to St. Louis. Kevin Lankinen will remain between the sticks for Tuesday's matchup against the Winnipeg Jets, with Arturs Silovs serving as the backup.

Conor Garland Iffy For Tuesday

Vancouver Canucks right wing Conor Garland (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Winnipeg Jets. Garland is a little banged up at the moment and may have to miss his first game of the season. It has been a decent year for Garland, who is on track to post his second 50-point campaign. Through 67 outings, he has amassed 17 goals and 41 points. Vancouver's attack has just lost Filip Chytil (concussion), and Garland's exit from the lineup would be a bitter pill to swallow. Linus Karlsson is expected to join the lineup on the fourth line if Garland can't play against the Jets, while Kiefer Sherwood could step into a top-six role.

Filip Chytil • C • Canucks

Filip Chytil Questionable For Sunday

Vancouver Canucks center Filip Chytil (upper body) made an early exit against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, leaving his status uncertain for Sunday's tilt against the Utah Hockey Club. The team has not provided any updates on Chytil, who has scored six points (two goals, four assists) in 15 games since his move to Vancouver. If Chytil is unable to play against the Blackhawks, Jonathan Lekkerimaki is likely to rejoin the lineup. Lekkerimaki has been excelling in the minors, tallying 19 goals and 28 points in 32 AHL appearances this season, but he has been quiet in the NHL so far. In 15 career NHL appearances, Lekkerimaki has recorded three points (two goals, one assist) with 22 shots.

Tyler Myers Set To Return Against Blackhawks

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers (undisclosed) is expected to return to action on Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks. He didn't play on Wednesday versus the Calgary Flames due to an undisclosed injury. On Friday, Myers was back in practice, and he will likely replace Elias Pettersson in the Canucks defense on Saturday. Myers plays a solid two-way game and has done a little bit of everything in 2024-25. With 61 games played, he is sitting on 21 points (four goals, 17 assists), 67 shots, 108 blocks, and 73 hits. In Saturday's game, Myers will be reunited with Marcus Pettersson on the second defensive pairing.

Elias Pettersson Tallies Goal, Assist On Wednesday

Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson tallied a goal and assist during their shootout victory over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday evening. In the opening frame, Pettersson would tally the secondary assist on Pius Suter's power-play goal. Later in the third, Pettersson would find the back of the net which tied the game and eventually forced overtime. The 26-year-old would also be successful on his shootout attempt. This outing extended his point streak to two games. Over his last four, Pettersson has tallied four points (three goals) while tallying nine shots with five blocks. However, before this recent stretch, Pettersson went 15 games without scoring a goal. He only tallied five helpers during this goal drought and held a -3 rating. He is worth monitoring in DFS as he appears to be turning the corner. He will look to stay hot on Saturday evening in a favorable matchup against the Blackhawks.

Elias Pettersson Sustains Injury On Wednesday

Vancouver Canucks rookie defenseman Elias Pettersson (upper body) was unable to finish Wednesday's contest against the Calgary Flames. The 21-year-old defenseman sustained this injury in the opening frame. He logged just over four minutes of ice time prior to exiting. Fantasy managers should monitor his status before their next contest on Saturday evening against the Chicago Blackhawks. Entering Wednesday's game, the third-round pick tallied one point (an assist) over his last four games while logging five hits and five blocked shots. Through his first 15 NHL contests, Pettersson has tallied just two points (both helpers) while adding 12 shots, 20 hits, and 11 blocks. If he were to miss time, the Canucks may have to promote a defenseman from their AHL affiliate.
