ARTURS SILOVS NEWS

Falters against Rangers Silovs stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact The Canucks scored 34 seconds into the game, but the lost the lead less than two minutes later and never pulled ahead again. Silovs was unable to build momentum after an excellent performance in a win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. The 23-year-old netminder is down to a 1-3-1 record with a 3.91 GAA and an .857 save percentage over six appearances. The Canucks are set to start a six-game road trip Saturday in Ottawa. They have one back-to-back set during their travels with a visit to Boston next Tuesday followed by a stop in Pittsburgh next Wednesday, so Silovs' next start is likely to be in one of those two contests.

Gets first win of season Silovs stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact It was a closer game than the final score suggests, with Silovs doing his part to keep it that way until the Canucks' offense stepped up. This was Silovs' first win in five appearances this season (1-2-1), and he's allowed 16 goals on 107 shots for an .850 save percentage. Kevin Lankinen has started to falter under a heavy workload, so getting Silovs playing better could help the Canucks stay afloat until Thatcher Demko (knee) can play. It'll likely be Lankinen in goal against one of his former teams, the Predators, in Sunday's contest.

Defending crease Saturday Silovs will patrol the home crease Saturday against Chicago, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

Impact Silovs hasn't earned a win through four appearances this season while stopping 63 of 78 shots. Chicago ranks 30th in the league with 2.41 goals per game in 2024-25. Kevin Lankinen will get a break after making six straight starts, but he could play in the second half of Vancouver's back-to-back when Nashville visits Sunday.

Recalled by Vancouver Silovs was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

Impact Silovs was sent down Sunday but will rejoin the Canucks following a brief stint in the minors. The 23-year-old has struggled over four appearances with Vancouver this year, posting an 0-2-1 record, 4.76 GAA and .808 save percentage.

Sent to AHL Silovs was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Impact Silovs struggled to open the season with Vancouver, going 0-2-1 with an ugly .808 save percentage. The 23-year-old netminder will look to get on track in the AHL. Ty Young was recalled in a corresponding move to backup Kevin Lankinen while Thatcher Demko (knee) remains sidelined.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Appears in relief Silovs stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Silovs played the last 8:55 of the contest after Lankinen was mercifully pulled following a 20-for-27-save performance. This was Silovs' fourth appearance of the season and the only one in which he hasn't given up a goal -- he's yielded 15 tallies on 78 shots for an .808 save percentage. Lankinen has had a heavy workload, but he's been the Canucks' best option in goal since Thatcher Demko (knee) remains out. As such, expect Silovs to remain in the backup role for the foreseeable future.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Torched for six goals Silovs gave up six goals on 22 shots in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Devils.

Impact Silovs didn't get any scoring help, but the 23-year-old struggled after watching the last five games from the bench. He's now allowed 15 goals on 74 shots while going 0-2-1 over three outings this season. It's been a nightmarish start to the season for Silovs, and he could be at risk of losing the backup job to Jiri Patera while Thatcher Demko (knee) remains on season-opening injured reserve. Patera has gone 1-1-1 with a 2.73 GAA and an .896 save percentage over four outings at AHL Abbotsford this season, and Silovs is waivers-exempt, so making such a switch would be relatively easy if the Canucks deem it necessary.

Expected to start Wednesday Silovs is slated to start at home against the Devils on Wednesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Impact Silovs hasn't been in net since allowing three goals on 26 shots en route to a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Oct. 15. The Canucks have been leaning heavily on Kevin Lankinen, who has done well overall with a 4-0-2 record, 2.29 GAA and .920 save percentage across six outings. However, Lankinen has struggled recently, surrendering at least three goals in each of his past three starts, which might be why the Canucks decided it was time to mix things up. New Jersey ranks ninth offensively with 3.67 goals per game, so Silovs is drawing a tough assignment.

Gets little help against Bolts Silovs stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning, with Tampa Bay's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact He got beaten once in each period, while the Canucks didn't get on the board until the third. Silovs was expected to be the No. 1 in net for Vancouver while Thatcher Demko (knee) was on IR, but so far the 23-year-old has alternated starts with Kevin Lankinen instead. Silovs' 4.50 GAA through his first two outings of the season hasn't made a strong case for more work.

Facing Lightning Silovs will guard the road goal Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.

Impact During his season debut against Calgary on Oct. 9, Silovs stopped 20 of 26 shots in a 6-5 overtime loss. Tampa Bay is coming off a 4-1 victory over Carolina on Friday.

Squanders lead in opener Silovs allowed six goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact Silovs was spotted a 4-1 lead after the first period, but the Flames showed resilience to get back into the game, and the Latvian goalie couldn't match it. The 23-year-old received the first nod in goal over Kevin Lankinen, but it's expected the Canucks will utilize both netminders regularly until Thatcher Demko (knee) can play. Silovs is essentially in an extended audition for the backup role, though he'll need to put together a better performance than he did in this contest to avoid a demotion to AHL Abbotsford.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Wednesday Silovs is expected to start at home against Calgary on Wednesday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Impact Silovs is going into this campaign with just nine regular-season games worth of NHL experience, though he held his own with AHL Abbotsford in 2023-24, posting a 2.74 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 34 regular-season outings. Silovs will compete with Kevin Lankinen for starts to begin the season, but Thatcher Demko (knee) is expected to assume the No. 1 goaltending slot once he's healthy.

Quiets Oilers in preseason finale Silovs stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 4-1 preseason win over the Oilers.

Impact Silovs limited the damage to an Evan Bouchard goal in the second period. Over three preseason games, Silovs has gone 2-1-0 with six goals allowed on 72 shots. The 23-year-old netminder is likely to open the season in a timeshare with Kevin Lankinen in Vancouver's crease. Silovs will need to play well to keep his spot once Thatcher Demko (knee) is cleared to play -- Silovs is waivers-exempt and can easily be shuttled to AHL Abbotsford if he doesn't give the Canucks a chance to compete in his starts.
