Canucks @ Oilers 10/14 | NHL Highlights 2023
OCTOBER 15, 2023 • YOUTUBE
Elias Pettersson - Dishes pair of assists Pettersson notched two assists, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Impact One of Pettersson's helpers came on the power play. The center has been scorching to start 2023-24, producing six points (one goal, five assists), six shots on goal, four hits and a plus-4 rating through two contests. Considering he put up 102 points in 80 outings last season, it's likely this is a product of his talent and not the Oilers' surprisingly leaky defense. The Canucks continue their road trip in the east with Tuesday's game versus the Flyers.

Canucks maintain their early season dominance over the Oilers with 4-3 win

Nils Hoglander had a goal and an assist as the Vancouver Canucks continued their early season dominance over the Edmonton Oilers, emerging with a 4-3 victory

Sam Lafferty - Deposits game-winner Lafferty scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Impact Lafferty tallied at 2:56 of the third period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. The 28-year-old forward was traded to the Canucks just before the start of the season, and he's fit right in so far with a goal and an assist through two contests. He's also produced two shots on goal, six hits and a plus-2 rating in a bottom-six role.
OCTOBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Studnicka - Tallies in win Studnicka scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Impact Studnicka put the Canucks ahead 3-2 with his second-period marker. The 24-year-old made his season debut Saturday after earning an emergency recall Thursday. He had eight points in 48 outings between Boston and Vancouver last season. Studnicka is expected to fill a bottom-six role when he's in the lineup, which he should have a chance to do at least until Teddy Blueger (bruise) is ready to return.
OCTOBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nils Hoglander - Two points in win Hoglander scored a goal, dished an assist, levied three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Impact Hoglander put the Canucks ahead late in the first period and also set up Sam Lafferty's game-winning tally in the third. While Hoglander saw just 8:14 of ice time Saturday, he's showing he can be productive despite the limited minutes. The 22-year-old has three points, four hits and a plus-3 rating in a fourth-line role through two contests.
OCTOBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andrei Kuzmenko - Nets power-play goal Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Impact Kuzmenko's first-period tally tied the game at 1-1. The winger has a pair of power-play points, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating through the first two games of the season. He remains in a top-line role, and he's off to a good start as he looks to defy the widely expected regression after shooting 27.3 percent last year.
OCTOBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Casey DeSmith - Makes 37 saves in win DeSmith stopped 37 of 40 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Impact Edmonton was aggressive early, but DeSmith was able to limit the damage to one goal in the first period. The Oilers tallied twice on the power play in the second, but the Canucks went ahead for good with Sam Lafferty's goal in the third. DeSmith got the nod with Thatcher Demko (illness) evidently not quite 100 percent. The 32-year-old DeSmith figures to hold down a backup role this year, though a performance like Saturday's could help him carve out a slightly larger share of playing time.

Thatcher Demko - Set for backup duty Demko (illness) is listed on the Canucks' roster as the backup goalie for Saturday's game versus the Oilers, per the NHL media site.
Impact Demko exited in the third period of Wednesday's season opener versus the Oilers, but he ended up collecting his first win of the year anyway. While he's not being pushed to start Saturday, his availability -- and the lack of a roster move for reinforcements in net -- suggests Demko should be back between the pipes soon. Casey DeSmith will start Saturday, so Demko's first chance to get back into the starting role is Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Canucks want defenceman, cap space in a Conor Garland trade: Report The Canucks started exploring a Conor Garland trade again earlier this week when it was clear they'd start the season with just 17 skaters.
OCTOBER 15, 2023 • THEPROVINCE.COM
Carson Soucy - Day-to-day Coach Rick Tocchet said Saturday that Soucy (undisclosed) is recovering 'really well' and should now be considered day-to-day, according to Harman Dayal of The Athletic.
Impact Soucy was injured Oct. 6 versus the Flames and was orginally considered week-to-week. The defenseman played 78 games with the Kraken last season, scoring three times and adding 13 assists.
OCTOBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Casey DeSmith - Set to start Saturday DeSmith is slated to start on the road against Edmonton on Saturday, per David Quadrelli of Canucks Army.
Impact DeSmith stopped all five shots he faced in 11:46 of ice time in Wednesday's 8-1 victory over the Oilers. He entered the contest in the third period because Thatcher Demko was dealing with an illness. DeSmith had a 15-16-4 record, 3.17 GAA and .905 save percentage in 38 contests last season.

Guillaume Brisebois - Still not skating Brisebois has yet to begin skating since suffering his undisclosed injury 10 days ago, Jeff Paterson of The Hockey News reports Friday.
Impact With Brisebois not even skating yet, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him land on injured reserve in order to free up a spot on the 23-man roster, especially after Teddy Blueger (bruise) was downgraded to week-to-week. Unless Carson Soucy (undisclosed) is ready to return against Edmonton on Saturday, Akito Hirose figures to continue filling out the third pairing. While Brisebois hasn't been given a clear recovery timeline, fantasy players can probably consider him questionable, at best, to face the Flyers on Tuesday.
OCTOBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Teddy Blueger - Considered week-to-week Blueger (bruise) is regarded as week-to-week, Canucks coach Rick Tocchet told Jeff Paterson of The Hockey News on Friday.
Impact That's a significant change to Blueger's outlook after he was seen as a game-time decision Wednesday due to the injury. The 29-year-old had four goals and 16 points in 63 contests in 2022-23 between Pittsburgh and Vegas.
