Demko is expected to miss 2-3 weeks per @frank_seravalli.

The #Canucks play six games in the next 14 days, with five of them against top-tier teams. This includes a B2B against the Florida teams.

Going to be tough going for Lankinen.

Here is a replay of the sequence where Quinn Hughes got hurt.

Hughes is assessed a penalty on the play but does not serve it as he went straight to the dressing room.

Quinn Hughes is shaken up after getting tangled with a Jets player.

This would be a disaster for the #Canucks. He's being looked at by a trainer.

EP40's wife, Katelyn Byrd, is launching a Swedish candy brand named Swete.

She's selling bags at Rogers Arena for tonight's #Canucks game and is almost sold out per her Instagram.

Thatcher Demko shown stretching out on the broadcast in between whistles.

Tonight is his first game back after not dressing in the back-to-back over the weekend.

Both of these guys should be in Italy this spring.

Can Canada really afford to leave its best goalie at home for the #Olympics?

Binnington was pulled tonight while Thompson has been perfect.

Will Canada risk leaving Thompson at home for reasons that seemingly have nothing to do with hockey?

Logan Thompson finished fourth in Vezina voting last season. He's playing even better to start this year.

Despite that, he doesn't seem to be on Team Canada's radar. And the reason apparently doesn't have to do with his play.

More on Thompson and the Olympics below 👇

Having some fun playing around with the Rono Analyst graphs.

These are all the #Canucks forwards plotted with GF/60 and xGF/60.

Can anyone guess who is way off to the right?

33 seconds in and Brock Boeser is being helped to the bench.

Are the #Canucks cursed?

Preface: I'm not trying to blame this all on Reichel. He's in a difficult spot and is rocking the lowest PDO on the team, including a 79.17% on-ice SV%

The #Canucks are bleeding goals against during his minutes. It could flip soon for reasons above but it's something to follow.

Lukas Reichel was simply too good for German Youth hockey. This was at 15 years old.

Found the clip....

Which NHL superstar did a just-drafted Lukas Reichel think he played like?

None other than #Canucks centre Elias Pettersson.

Laughing at the thought of #Canucks fans googling Lukas Reichel and seeing the Google AI overview say "he models his style of play after Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson."

Small sample size and I set the cut off to min. 27 mins but good results for the Abby #Canucks line so far.
October 24, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Thought we were about to see 2023 Petey for a second here...

Not a ton of good for the #Canucks so far tonight but the Abby line's stock keeps rising.

Matthew Schaefer has a goal and assist tonight, giving him seven points in the first six games of his NHL career.

This kid is ridiculous. I'm not saying he's close, but what would he have to do to make the Olympic roster? Would PPG get him into consideration?

#Canucks face off against fan-favourite and now #LetsGoPens goalie Arturs Silovs tonight.

He had some epic moments with the Canucks.

- Shutout to eliminate Nashville in 2024 1st Round
- 42 save playoff win over the Oilers
- 6th all-time in playoff wins by a Canucks goalie

The #BlueJays open at +180 to win the World Series at DraftKings.

Yahoo Fantasy Hockey hiding the “start active players for the week” feature behind a paywall is such loser behaviour.
October 21, 2025 at 1:17 AM
Elias Petterson was cracking jokes postgame.

"It felt good," he said about his early goal today. "I mean I scored on Demmer against Dallas but it's good to score on the other side today."

Filip Chytil and Jonathan Lekkerimäki will not return today per Dan Murphy.

Terrible news for the #Canucks
