Arturs Silovs - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Facing Oilers Silovs will get the home start Friday versus Edmonton, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Silovs will play the whole game, according to coach Rick Tocchet. Silovs is currently battling Kevin Lankinen for the No. 1 job in Vancouver as Thatcher Demko is out of action with a knee problem. Silovs was 3-0-1 in four regular-season games with the Canucks last season and was 5-5 with a 2.91 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 10 playoff appearances, as the Canucks lost in seven games in the second round to the Oilers.

Canucks: Arturs Silovs's knees should be fine, says Latvia goalie coach Irbe Arturs Irbe says Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs was simply overworking himself, his knees shouldn't be a problem to start the season.

On ice Thursday Silovs (knee) participated in Thursday's informal skate with his teammates, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Silovs was held out of Olympic qualifying matches with Latvia due to knee inflammation but appears to be trending in the right direction. The Canucks may need the 23-year-old netminder to start the season between the pipes, as No. 1 backstop Thatcher Demko is also dealing with a knee issue. For his part, Silovs has just nine regular-season games under his belt but should be expected to see upwards of 30 outings in 2024-25 -- perhaps more depending on how long Demko is shelved. Vancouver kicks off preseason Sept. 24 against Seattle, which could be Silovs first start of the campaign if his knee is given the all-clear.

Dealing with knee issue Silovs has knee ligament inflammation and will not play for Latvia in the 2026 Olympic qualifiers, Patrick Johnston of the Province reports Thursday.

Impact After being left off of Latvia's roster on Wednesday, there's now reason behind Silovs' removal from the team. In Latvia's press release, they made note that this injury would prevent Silovs from performing to the highest of his capabilities. It'll be something to monitor, but this could imply that Silovs' injury isn't overly-serious, but rather more of a precautionary move. The 23-year-old is expected to be Thatcher Demko's top backup in Vancouver this season, who is also currently dealing with a lingering knee issue.

Loses Game 7 Silovs allowed three goals on 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 7.

Impact Silovs took consecutive losses at the NHL level for the first time in his career, and it couldn't have come at a worse time for the Canucks. He allowed eight goals on 56 shots over Games 6 and 7. Overall, he went 5-5 in the playoffs, allowing 29 goals over 10 contests. It's not a particularly impressive body of work, but it's enough to think Silovs will enter 2024-25 as backup to Thatcher Demko (knee) if Casey DeSmith walks in free agency. Silovs will also need a new contract as a restricted free agent.

Impact Silovs underwhelmed in Game 6, allowing five goals on 27 shots (.815 save percentage). Overall, the 23-year-old netminder is 3-3 with a 3.47 GAA through the first six games of the series while conceding three or more goals in all but one of those contests.

Falters in Game 6 Silovs allowed five goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

Impact Silovs had his worst outing of the playoffs, squandering the Canucks' first chance to book a spot in the Western Conference Finals. The team in front of him was flat as well, registering a meager 15 shots on net, which is low even by their unimpressive shot volume for the postseason (21.1 shots per game). Silovs is 5-4 with a 2.89 GAA and an .898 save percentage through nine playoff outings. He's alternated wins and losses in the second round, but it's unclear if he'll get the nod at home for Game 7 on Monday or if head coach Rick Tocchet will turn to Casey DeSmith.

This was the first time he limited the Oilers to fewer than three goals during the second round. He's alternated wins and losses over the last five games while surrendering 16 goals. Silovs should be expected to start Saturday in Edmonton for Game 6 with a chance to clinch the series.
