GAME LOG

Conor Garland - Provides pair of helpers Garland recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Garland has a goal and six helpers over his last six games, going plus-9 in that span. The winger has finally found a groove with Dakota Joshua and Teddy Blueger as linemates. Garland is up to 16 points, 75 shots on net and a plus-12 rating through 35 appearances. He's a solid depth winger in fantasy formats that focus on offense, though it would be nice to see the 27-year-old tickle the twine more often.

J.T. Miller - Grabs two apples Miller registered two assists and two hits in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Miller helped out on Andrei Kuzmenko's power-play tally in the first period as well as Pius Suter's insurance goal in the third. The 30-year-old Miller's season-worst goal drought stretch to seven games Saturday, but he's offset the lack of scoring with eight helpers in that span. For the year, the do-it-all forward has 48 points (21 on the power play), 78 shots on net, 71 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-13 raring through 35 appearances.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Elias Pettersson - Contributes pair of helpers Pettersson registered two assists, seven shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Pettersson has five multi-point efforts over 11 games in December, totaling four goals and nine helpers so far this month. The 25-year-old helped out on both of Andrei Kuzmenko's first-period markers. Pettersson has 13 goals, 30 assists, 94 shots on net, 41 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 35 contests this season as the Canucks' top-line center.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nils Aman - Scores again Saturday Aman scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Aman has tallied in two of the last four games since he returned from being a scratch for two contests. Despite the increased success on offense, Aman remains firmly in a bottom-four role with virtually no power-play time, so he's unlikely to sustain his improved pace. The 23-year-old center has four points, six shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 13 appearances.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pius Suter - Scores in win Saturday Suter scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Suter has two goals and two helpers over his last four outings. While he's seen mainly bottom-six usage since returning from a lower-body injury, Suter is often used in a variety of situations to increase his ice time. The 27-year-old forward is up to six goals, assists, 26 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 21 appearances this season. Since his contributions are mostly just on offense, Suter's fantasy value is limited to deeper formats.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dakota Joshua - Pots goal Joshua scored a goal, doled out four hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Joshua continued his strong play of late -- he has five goals and two assists over his last six games. The 27-year-old continues to click on the third line with Teddy Blueger and Conor Garland, giving an already strong Vancouver offense a little more scoring depth. Joshua is up to nine tallies, 15 points, 37 shots on net, 105 hits, 35 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 34 contests this season.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Lafferty - Finds twine in win Lafferty scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Lafferty snapped a six-game point drought with his goal. He started the month on the top line, but Lafferty's slump has seen him slip back to the bottom six now. The 28-year-old is up to nine goals, 16 points, 39 shots on net, 50 hits, 21 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 35 appearances. He's still got a good chance to set career highs across the board, and he's a DFS option for games when he's in the top six.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Quinn Hughes - Two points Saturday Hughes scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Hughes scored for the first time since Dec. 2. He's added nine helpers to his two goals this month, but his offense has come in bunches instead of evenly distributed like it was in November. While the lack of consistency is a little frustrating, fantasy managers have few faults to find in Hughes' season so far. He has 10 goals, 44 points, 91 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a plus-28 rating through 35 contests overall.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andrei Kuzmenko - Responds well to scratch Kuzmenko scored two goals, including one on the power play in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Kuzmenko was a healthy scratch for the last two games as his playing style continues to clash with head coach Rick Tocchet's vision for the team. The 27-year-old Kuzmenko has still performed relatively well despite his reduced role, accumulating eight goals, 11 helpers, 44 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating. He's unlikely to play much of a physical style, but Kuzmenko can score and set up linemates well as long as he can stick in a top-six role.

Thatcher Demko - Wins high-scoring game Demko stopped 21 of 25 shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Impact Demko won for the fifth time in six starts, but it was hardly a commanding performance. The 28-year-old left the door ajar for the Sharks, but the Canucks' offense was able to lead the way to the win. Demko is up to 17-7-1 with a 2.46 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 25 appearances. The Canucks' next game is Thursday versus the Flyers.

Thatcher Demko - Starting versus Sharks Demko will protect the home goal Saturday versus the Sharks, per Canucks team reporter Kate Pettersen.
Impact Demko saw a four-game winning streak end with an overtime loss versus the Stars on Thursday. The 28-year-old goalie has a 5-1-1 record in December despite a 2.83 GAA and a .904 save percentage. The Sharks have lost their last four contests, so this is a good matchup for Demko. He allowed one goal on 31 shots against San Jose on Nov. 2.
