Status Reports and Notes
William Nylander has returned from a groin injury that sidelined him for seven games. His comeback means Easton Cowan will likely not play. Marshall Rifai will make his season debut after being called up from the AHL, replacing Simon Benoit.
Although Blueger and Hronek missed a recent practice, they are both expected to be in the lineup. The Canucks haven’t confirmed their starting goalie, but Nikita Tolopilo is likely to start again, following his extended time on the ice in preparation.
Coach Adam Foote noted that Brock Boeser, who is dealing with a concussion, might not be back before the Olympic Winter Games in Milan-Cortina 2026.
