As the Vancouver Canucks improve their roster, the Abbotsford Canucks face significant injury challenges. Recent updates reveal that Abbotsford is dealing with multiple player absences, complicating their current season.
Abbotsford Canucks’ Injury List Overview
Abbotsford’s injury problems come at a pivotal moment. They are not only missing several key players due to call-ups to Vancouver but also dealing with injuries that have sidelined others. Currently, seven players are absent from the Abbotsford lineup.
Key Players Affected
- Cooper Walker: Center who has not played since the season opener on October 10.
- Chase Stillman: Out since late October.
- Jujhar Khaira: Missed the recent weekend games due to injury.
- Jett Woo: Defenceman with an upper-body injury, hasn’t played this season.
- Guillaume Brisebois: Defenceman with a lower-body injury, also yet to play.

Goaltending Challenges
The goaltending situation for the Abbotsford Canucks has intensified due to injuries. Starter Nikita Tolopilo is unavailable after getting injured in the banner-raising game. The emergency call-up of Jiří Patera to Vancouver added pressure on the defensive line.
On the same night Patera was called up, Ty Young faced an injury during Abbotsford’s match, prompting the team to bring in Aku Koskenvuo and Jonathan Lemieux from the ECHL’s Kalamazoo Wings.
As these injuries unfold, the Abbotsford Canucks will need to adapt swiftly to maintain their competitive edge in the AHL.
