The Canucks signed Nils Hoglander to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Canucks drafted Hoglander with the No.40 overall pick in the 2019 draft. The highly-skilled winger had a strong year in the Swedish Elite League, scoring nine goals with seven assists (16 points) in 41 games as a 19-year-old. Hoglander also represented Sweden at the World Juniors, where helped them to a bronze medal and finished third on the team with 11 points (5G / 6A) in seven games.
The Canucks signed Will Lockwood to a two-year entry-level contract on March 19th.
Lockwood was a third-round pick (No.64 overall) in 2016 and signed after finishing his senior year at the University of Michigan. The Wolverines captain had 23 points (9G / 14A) in 33 games and will likely report to Utica (AHL) for the 2021 season.
The Canucks signed Marc Michaelis to a one-year contract on March 19th.
Michaelis was an undrafted free agent who recently finished his senior year at Minnesota State University, where he led the team with 44 points (20G / 24A) in 31 games. The Mannheim, Germany native was named the 2019-20 WCHA Offensive Player of the Year.

Tonight he'll face an Islanders team that has lost six straight (0-3-3) while averring just 2.00 goals per game.

Demko will start Saturday in Toronto.
Goalie Start
Demko is in the starter's crease at the Canucks morning skate.
Markstrom underwent a minor lower-body procedure on Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Markstrom's original timetable was 3-to-4 weeks and that could still be the case. Vancouver will likely release another update after he is re-evaluated in two weeks. Thatcher Demko will be the Canucks' starter until further notice, suggesting he could start the next eight-to-nine games in a row (with two back-to-backs).

Goalie Start
Demko will start Thursday in Ottawa.
Demko allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Canucks overtime win in Montreal on Tuesday. It was an outstanding game for Demko, who will likely start every game until Jacob Markstrom is back in a minimum of two weeks. Demko has gone 4-5-1 with a 3.25 GAA and .904 SV% on the road this year but is a terrific option tonight in Ottawa.
