Akito Hirose - Out Friday Hirose (concussion) won't play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Oilers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Hirose is likely ticketed for AHL Abbotsford once healthy, but if his concussion lingers into the regular season, he could first have a stint on season-opening injured reserve. The 25-year-old defenseman has 10 games of NHL experience over the last two seasons.

Pius Suter - Remains out Friday Suter (upper body) won't play Friday versus the Oilers, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Suter will be out for the Canucks' preseason finale, putting his status for Wednesday's season opener in doubt as well. The 28-year-old forward's absence is at least partially offset by the return of Teddy Blueger (lower body), who will suit up Friday.

Teddy Blueger - Set to play Friday Blueger (lower body) will play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Oilers, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Impact Blueger appears set to get some preseason action after missing a large portion of training camp. The 30-year-old forward is projected to play in a fourth-line role to begin 2024-25, though he could move up to the third line at times if injuries impact the Canucks' center depth.

Arturs Silovs - 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.

Pius Suter - Dealing with upper-body issue Suter is day-to-day after suffering an upper-body injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports Wednesday.

Impact Suter has scored at least 14 goals in each of his four NHL seasons despite having played for three different teams over that stretch. If he can get back to 100 percent and avoid any injury stretches, he should be a near-lock to reach the 30-point threshold considering he fell one point shy of that mark last year despite logging just 67 regular-season contests.
