Vancouver Canucks News

Karlsson has performed well for Abbotsford this season, scoring 12 goals and adding six assists in 17 AHL games. He's appeared in just two NHL games this year and is yet to register a point.

The Canucks are coming off a disappointing 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres and will roll with Demko between the pipes on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers. Demko saved 13 of 15 shots (.867 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers less than a week ago. The 29-year-old Demko has a 3.23 GAA and .873 SV% in 11 appearances this season (3-4-3). The Canucks enter Thursday's contest as +157 road underdogs against an Oilers club without Connor McDavid (suspension) for a second consecutive game.

Let the confusion begin. Pettersson was selected in the third round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and is yet to make his NHL debut. The 20-year-old blue-liner has one goal and 12 assists in 36 AHL games this season. Defenceman Noah Juulsen was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday in a corresponding move.

Arturs Silovs served as Thatcher Demko's backup in Vancouver's most recent game as Lankinen was out with an illness. Lankinen has a 2.63 GAA and .903 SV% in 30 games this season (16-8-6) and has continued to be busy between the pipes since Demko returned from an injury.

Thomas has not played since December 28th but will re-enter the lineup on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old forward is averaging 10:24 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 16 games this season.

With Max Pacioretty (upper body) on Injured Reserve, the Maple Leafs have recalled Quillan from the Toronto Marlies (AHL). The undrafted 22-year-old Quillan has 15 points (6G / 9A) in 35 games with the Marlies this season.

Vancouver is coming off an impressive 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers, where Demko only had to save 13 of 15 shots (.867 SV%).

The Canucks enter Tuesday's contest as -170 home favorites against a Sabres team that lost 6-4 to the Seattle Kraken last night.
