Di Giuseppe made his Canucks debut in their second-last game before the All-Star break. Di Giuseppe comes up after tallying 30 points (13G / 17A) in 33 AHL games this season. The 29-year-old skated on the fourth line in Sunday's practice.
The Canucks' injury woes continued as General Manager Patrik Allvin spoke with the media Friday night and confirmed forward Phil Di Giuseppe will miss 2-4 weeks with a lower-body injury. It is a tough blow for the 28-year-old winger who was trying to crack the Canucks roster after having not played in the NHL since the 2020-21 season where he put up eight points in 31 games as a member of the New York Rangers. He enjoyed a strong 2021-22 campaign with the Canucks AHL affiliate in Abbotsford, collecting 12 goals and 36 points in 42 games.
Di Giuseppe has been in and out of the NHL since 2014, appearing in a total of 201 NHL games and 269 AHL games over that span. In 2022, the 28-year-old spent the whole season in the AHL, posting 36 points (12G / 24A) in 42 games with Abbotsford (AHL).
Just when the Canucks thought they were in the clear, Di Giuseppe and Brock Boeser tested positive and will miss Wednesday's game vs. the Ducks. Di Giuseppe was set to be a healthy scratch anyways.
Di Giuseppe has scored 14 goals with 12 assists (26 points) in 43 games with the Wolf Pack this season. With Chris Kreider battling an upper-body injury, Di Giuseppe could make his Rangers debut on Monday. He has 41 points (14G / 27A) in 150 career NHL games.
Di Giuseppe was originally picked in the second-round by the Hurricanes back in 2012 but was waived last season and had a brief stint with the Nashville Predators. He has posted decent numbers at lower-levels but has just 41 points (14G / 27A) in 150 career NHL games. The 25-year-old will either start the season in the AHL or as a fourth-liner.
Di Giuseppe has been a healthy scratch for the last four games and has just four points (1G / 3A) in 21 games with the Hurricanes this season. The 25-year-old will be a depth forward for the Predators—he has 14 goals and 27 assists (41 points) in 147 career NHL games.
Di Giuseppe has been a healthy scratch for 10 of the Hurricanes first 12 games, so he’ll go to Charlotte to get some playing time. The former second-round pick most recently picked up 12 points (4G / 8A) in 14 AHL games in 2017-18.
Di Giuseppe was in and out of the Hurricanes’ lineup last season but appeared in a career-high 49 NHL games, scoring five goals with eight assists (13 points). The 24-year-old likely won’t be a full-time player in 2019 either, but is an effective bottom-6 player when he gets plugged into the lineup.
