Canucks Game Day: Will structure be foundation for season-opener win over Oilers? The Canucks face their Pacific Division nemesis in the high-octane Oilers on Wednesday in their season opener at Rogers Arena.
Ilya Mikheyev - Won't play in opener Mikheyev (knee) won't play Wednesday versus Edmonton, but he's close to returning, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
Impact Mikheyev is still working his way back from the ACL surgery he underwent in late January. Although he won't be available for Wednesday's season opener, it sounds like the 29-year-old winger should be ready to make his debut sooner rather than later.

Impact Blueger wanted to finish practice but "was kicked off the ice" by head coach Rick Tocchet. It sounds like Blueger's injury is pretty minor and he should be available for Wednesday's season opener against Edmonton. An update on his status should be available before then.

Impact Beauvillier still has plenty of time to recover before Opening Night on Wednesday against Edmonton. Consider him day-to-day for now. Beauvillier produced 18 goals, 40 points, 176 shots on net and 78 hits in 82 games between the Islanders and Canucks last season.
OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Carson Soucy - Considered week-to-week Soucy (undisclosed) is dealing with a "week-to-week" injury, Jeff Paterson of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Barring an unexpected early recovery, this should rule Soucy out for at least the first two games of the regular season. The 29-year-old was injured in Friday's preseason tilt against the Flames. He'll likely be reevaluated sometime next week.
OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nils Aman - Sent down Aman was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact Aman generated four goals, 16 points, 50 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and 44 hits in 68 games for Vancouver last season. If the Canucks need reinforcements in 2023-24, he will probably be among the first recalls from the minors.
