Raty has been recalled from Abbotsford (AHL).

Raty has played three games with Vancouver this season, scoring one point (0G / 1A), but has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in Abbotsford (AHL), tallying seven points (3G / 4A) in eight games. The 21-year-old Raty was the 52nd overall pick of the New York Islanders in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.

Bains has been assigned to Abbotsford (AHL).

Bains has been serviceable in Vancouver this season, scoring one goal in seven games, but continues to be a part of paper transactions sending him back to Abbotsford (AHL) due to salary cap implications. Last season with Abbotsford (AHL), Bains was an offensive stalwart, producing 55 points (16G / 39A) in 59 games, but the 23-year-old has played exclusively at the NHL level this season.

Lankinen will start on Monday vs. Carolina.

With Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) still sidelined for the foreseeable future, Lankinen has taken the reins of the Vancouver crease and will start for a fifth straight game on Monday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 29-year-old Lankinen is riding a four-game winning streak and has a stellar 1.95 GAA and .930 SV% through five games this season (4-0-1). That said, the Canucks enter action on Monday as +113 home underdogs against a Hurricanes club with a 5-2-0 record.
