Stillman was the 29th overall pick of the Devils in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old has yet to play an NHL game and has nine points (3G / 6A) in 46 games with the Utica Comets (AHL) this season.

Kane has spent the entirety of the 2024-25 season recovering from abdominal surgery and has officially been shut down for the remainder of the campaign. The 33-year-old Kane has spent the previous three seasons with the Oilers, tallying 111 points (62G / 49A) in 161 games.

Lankinen saved 14 of 16 shots (.875 SV%) in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks and will return to the crease on Friday against the Minnesota Wild. The 29-year-old Lankinen has a 2.56 GAA and .904 SV% in 38 games this season (21-10-7). The Canucks enter Friday's contest as -123 home favorites against the Wild.

A 29-year-old blue-liner, Schuldt has just a single NHL game under his belt, which came way back in the 2018-19 season with the Golden Knights. Schuldt has appeared in 53 AHL games this season, scoring four goals and adding 13 assists.

The Canucks have been outscored 11-5 in their last two games (0-2-0) and will turn to Lankinen between the pipes on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks. Lankinen struggled in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 23 shots (.783 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken. The 29-year-old Finnish netminder has a 2.57 GAA and .904 SV% in 37 games this season (20-10-7). The Canucks enter Wednesday's contest as -222 home favorites against a Ducks squad that defeated the Edmonton Oilers 6-2 last night.

Pettersson did not play the previous game for the Canucks but will re-enter the lineup on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks, replacing an injured Quinn Hughes (undisclosed). The 21-year-old Pettersson is averaging 12:23 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in 10 games this season.

Hughes played the previous three games after missing nearly a month due to a lower-body injury but will return to the sidelines. The 25-year-old Hughes has been having another season worthy of a Norris trophy, scoring 60 points (14G / 46A) in 50 games. That said, his inability to remain in the lineup lately causes notable concern for a Canucks team desperately trying to stay in the mix for a playoff spot.

The Canucks have been outscored 11-5 in their last two games (0-2-0) and will likely turn to Lankinen between the pipes on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks. Lankinen struggled in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 23 shots (.783 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken. The 29-year-old Finnish netminder has a 2.57 GAA and .904 SV% in 37 games this season (20-10-7). The Canucks enter Wednesday's contest as -222 home favorites against a Ducks squad that defeated the Edmonton Oilers 6-2 last night.

Lekkerimaki made his NHL debut earlier this season, scoring three points (2G / 1A) in 11 games with Vancouver. The 20-year-old forward was the 15th overall selection of the Canucks in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.

Bains played the previous game for the Canucks and was at practice on Sunday but has been reassigned to Abbotsford (AHL). The 24-year-old Bains has one point (1G / 0A) in 13 games with Vancouver this season.

Joseph exited Saturday's game due to an upper-body injury and did not play on Sunday. The 25-year-old Joseph is averaging 15:16 time-on-ice and has three points (0G / 3A) in 47 games this season.

With Henry Thrun (undisclosed) placed on Injured Reserve, the Sharks have recalled Schuldt from the San Jose Barracuda (AHL). The 29-year-old Schuldt has 17 points (4G / 13A) in 53 games in the AHL this season.

Joseph will take a seat on Thursday in favour of Ryan Graves. Joseph has zero goals and three assists this season in 46 games split between the Blues and Penguins.
