Canucks' Tyler Myers: Draws helper in win
Myers notched an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
Myers logged 21:48 of ice time Saturday, his first time over 20 minutes in five games. He had to help cover for Quinn Hughes, who was ejected after a boarding major and game misconduct in the first period. Myers has picked up the pace with three points over his last five games, giving him one goal, four assists, 19 shots on net, 18 hits, 33 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 19 appearances this season. Myers should get back to a slightly smaller workload Tuesday versus the Bruins assuming Hughes avoids supplemental discipline.

Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Scores in Saturday's win
Blueger scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
Blueger scored for the second time in four games, giving the Canucks a 2-1 lead in the second period. The 30-year-old center has done well in a third-line role this season and is likely to see slightly increased responsibilities while J.T. Miller (personal) is away from the team. Blueger is up to four goals, 10 points, 21 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-1 rating over 19 appearances.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Point in NHL debut
Sasson picked up an assist in his NHL debut Saturday, a 4-3 win over the Senators.
He lured the defense toward him, pulled up and found Teddy Blueger trailing. Sasson played 7:49 and finished plus-1. And he earned the requisite shaving cream bomb from teammates in a TV interview after the game. Sasson is a bottom-six guy with a motor that never quits. His fantasy game is limited, but his enthusiasm is great to watch.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Ejected for boarding
Hughes received a game misconduct and five-minute major for boarding in the first period of Saturday's 4-3 win over Ottawa.
He drilled Josh Norris into the boards from behind. It wasn't a hard hit, but Norris was cut and left the game temporarily. The officials had no option but to issue a major on the play -- rule 41.5 issues an automatic game misconduct if "an injury to the face or head of the opponent" occurs on a boarding penalty. Hughes and Norris are close friends who played for the USNTDP and the University of Michigan. Still, a suspension is unlikely.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Bends but doesn't break in barrage
Lankinen made 26 saves in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
He bent but didn't break late in the third period when the Senators stormed the castle. Lankinen allowed two late goals in a 2:47 span with the Sens net empty and the extra attacker on the ice. One of those goals came while the Sens were up six-on-four, and Lanks barely had a chance. Still, it was a strong rebound for Lankinen, who'd been lit up for 16 goals in his previous four games. His play continues to give the Orcas a chance while Thatcher Demko (knee) is on IR.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Four-game, six-point scoring streak
Pettersson had two helpers Saturday in a 4-3 victory over the Senators.
Ten of Pettersson's 15 points have come in his last seven games; it includes four goals and six assists. And he's on a four-game, six-point scoring streak (two goals, four assists). Pettersson still has a long way to go, but it looks like he's put his early-season malaise behind him. He needs to pick up his shot pace, though. With 40 shots in 19 games, Pettersson is on pace for just 170 shots, a significant drop from 207 last year and 257 the one before that. He's converting at about the same rate as he always has, which means he might fail to hit 30 goals for the first time in four seasons.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Four-game, five-point streak
Sherwood had a goal, an assist and 10 hits Saturday in a 4-3 win over Ottawa.
His goal stood as the winner. Sherwood pounced on a loose puck in the crease at 8:41 of the third period and drove it past Linus Ullmark to push the score to 4-1. He's on a four-game, five-point scoring streak that includes three goals, 11 shots and a whopping 30 hits. Sherwood has been a great fantasy surprise this season -- he has six goals, five assists and a league-leading 125 hits in just 19 games. That's gold in leagues where muscle still counts.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Huge three-point effort in win
DeBrusk had two goals and an assist in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
His first was a tip on the power play late in the first period to put the Orcas up 1-0. DeBrusk then put his team up 3-1 in the second with a sweet deke on the backhand around Linus Ullmark's outstretched left pad on a rush. Vancouver has been a great fit for DeBrusk, who has 13 points (five goals, eight assists), 35 hits and 36 shots in 19 games. That's a 56-point pace, which would be a career mark if he can continue at this rate.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Starting against Senators
Lankinen will protect the road net versus Ottawa on Saturday, according to Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet.
Lankinen has lost his last two outings, surrendering eight goals on 52 shots. He has posted a mark of 8-3-2 with one shutout, a 2.71 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Ottawa sits 15th in the league with 3.11 goals per game in 2024-25.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Practices in non-contact jersey
Boeser (upper body) practiced in a non-contact jersey Friday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports.
Boeser sustained an upper-body injury against the Kings on Nov. 7, and Friday marked the first time that he practiced with the main group since getting hurt. While he'll likely need to shed his non-contact sweater before he's in the mix to return to game action, he certainly took an encouraging step in his recovery process Friday.

Canucks' Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Sent down to minors
Lekkerimaki was demoted to AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.
Despite logging 4:12 of ice time with the man advantage against the Rangers on Tuesday, Lekkerimaki remains stuck in a three-game pointless streak and has managed just one point in five outings. In a corresponding move, the Canucks brought up Max Sasson, who could be in line to make his NHL debut versus the Senators on Saturday.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Recalled from AHL
Sasson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.
Sasson has recorded four goals and five assists over 16 AHL games this season. The Canucks sent Jonathan Lekkerimaki to Abbotsford in a corresponding move. Sasson hasn't yet made his NHL debut but could see some playing time since J.T. Miller (personal) is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: Offers assist in loss
Soucy registered an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Soucy snapped a seven-game slump with the secondary assist on Kiefer Sherwood's first-period tally. The 30-year-old Soucy has had a subpar start to the season while filling a second-pairing role. He's picked up a meager two assists to go with 21 shots on net, 23 hits, 28 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 18 appearances. Without more offense, the blueliner won't be a player for fantasy managers to consider.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Garners first helper of season
Joshua notched an assist, five hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
The helper was Joshua's first point over four contests since he recovered from testicular cancer surgery. The 28-year-old winger has done what he does best since his return, doling out 14 hits. He can chip in some depth scoring as well after a 32-point campaign in 2023-24, but it'll be hits and PIM that supplement his production for fantasy purposes.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Slides assist
Hronek produced an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Hronek had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests, his first multi-game drought since the end of October. The 27-year-old defenseman quickly snapped the short slump, setting up Quinn Hughes' first-minute tally. Hronek now has a goal, six assists, 19 shots on net, 32 hits, 17 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 18 appearances. His offense hasn't been as strong as last year (48 points in 81 regular-season games), but the lack of better options on the roster keeps Hronek secure in a top-pairing role.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Posts helper
Suter logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Suter has two goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 28-year-old moved to center after primarily playing as a winger early in the season -- he's now covering for J.T. Miller (personal) while playing up the middle. Suter has been moderately useful in fantasy with nine points, 31 shots on net, 13 hits and an even plus-minus rating, though his offense could ultimately dip in Miller's absence.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Manages two helpers in loss
Pettersson notched two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Pettersson helped out on first-period tallies by Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood. This was Pettersson's third multi-point effort in his last six games, a span in which he's collected four goals and four assists. The center is up to six goals, seven helpers, 39 shots on net, 27 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 18 appearances. He'll be the centerpiece of the Canucks' offense for as long as J.T. Miller (personal) is away from the team.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Lights lamp again
Sherwood scored a goal on seven shots and added 10 hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Sherwood has posted double-digit hit totals on three occasions this season. His seven shots were a team high as well. The winger has two goals and an assist over his last three contests, and he appears to be clicking quickly with Elias Pettersson on what's now the Canucks' top line with J.T. Miller (personal) away from the team. Sherwood has five goals, 10 points, 38 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances. As long as he's seeing premium even-strength minutes, he'll be a strong option in fantasy, particularly in formats that reward his lofty hit totals.
