Kevin Lankinen - Guarding goal Thursday Lankinen will patrol the visiting crease in LA on Thursday, Harman Dayal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Lankinen has yet to lose a game in regulation time as he is 6-0-2 with a 2.09 GAA and a .923 save percentage. His play has taken all the worry of Thatcher Demko's knee injury and undetermined return, out of play. Lankinen will face the Kings, who are averaging 3.36 goals this season.

Impact Joshua also didn't practice Wednesday, but coach Rick Tocchet said the 28-year-old hasn't suffered a setback. Instead, the Canucks are simply being cautious with Joshua, who hasn't played in 2024-25. It remains to be seen when Joshua might return to the lineup, but when he is ready, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six role.

Derek Forbort - Facing extended absence Forbort is expected to be sidelined for weeks, possibly as long as a month, due to a knee injury, Freelance reporter Irfaan Gaffar reports Wednesday.
Impact Due to a personal matter and his knee problem, Forbort has played in just one of the Canucks' last eight contests. Now, the veteran blueliner is slated to miss as much as a month of action. Given his timeline, it wouldn't be a shock to see the Minnesota native placed on long-term injured reserve in the coming days. Erik Brannstrom should see the bulk of the minutes on the third pairing in Forbort's absence, though Noah Juulsen could also be in the mix.

Erik Brannstrom - Nabs assist Tuesday Brannstrom produced an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Brannstrom earned his second helper of the season when he assisted on Kiefer Sherwood's first-period go-ahead goal. The 25-year-old Brannstrom has bounced between the NHL and AHL frequently as the Canucks try to accrue some cap savings. He has two helpers, eight shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over eight appearances this season, playing mainly on the third pairing.

Teddy Blueger - Offers helper in win Blueger notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Blueger ended a three-game point drought when he helped out on a Danton Heinen tally late in the third period. Considering he's exclusively filled a bottom-six role with minimal power-play time, Blueger has done well with six points over 11 contests. The Latvian center has added 11 shots on net, 15 hits, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating. He'll have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats if he can continue on a career-best scoring pace, though he rarely stands out in any one area.

Conor Garland - Slides helper in win Garland notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Garland has earned three helpers over the last two games, a strong response to his first stretch of consecutive contests off the scoresheet. The 28-year-old winger is filling a top-six role this season, and he's been scoring in accordance with that. He's up to three goals, seven helpers, 25 shots on net, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating across 11 outings.

J.T. Miller - Garners helper in win Miller registered a power-play assist and won 18 of 26 faceoffs in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Miller had been held off the scoresheet in each of the previous two games before helping out on a Brock Boeser tally in the first period. In 2023-24, Miller was held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests just twice, and he's had that happen twice in the first month of 2024-25. The 31-year-old has still put up good scoring with four goals, six helpers and three power-play points while adding 22 shots on net, 19 hits, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances. While it's not a slow start, Miller is behind the pace he'd need to return to the 100-point mark for a second straight year.

Quinn Hughes - Bags three apples Tuesday Hughes recorded three assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

The 25-year-old Hughes has earned eight points over six road games in 2024-25, and he's at a total of two goals, 10 helpers, 43 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 11 appearances.

Jake DeBrusk - Nets goal Tuesday DeBrusk scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact DeBrusk padded the Canucks' lead in the third period with his second goal of the campaign. Those tallies have come over the last two games after the winger was limited to four assists in October. DeBrusk has six points, 17 shots on net, 23 hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over 11 contests this season. He should continue to serve as a supporting scorer in a top-six role.

Elias Pettersson - Tips in tally Pettersson scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact The Canucks' third goal belonged to Quinn Hughes for a while, but it was eventually changed to Pettersson. That ended a three-game point drought for Pettersson, who is still struggling to find consistency on offense. He's at a mere five points with 21 shots on net, 16 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 11 appearances this season, though he remains in a top-six role.
