Brock Boeser - Out indefinitely Boeser (upper body) is out indefinitely, Kevin Woodley of NHL.com reported Saturday.
Impact Boeser didn't play in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Edmonton after being injured in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings. It's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. The Canucks recalled Jonathan Lekkerimaki from AHL Abbotsford on Sunday to occupy a top-six role during Boeser's absence. The 27-year-old Boeser has six goals, 11 points, 26 shots on net and 13 hits through 12 appearances this season.

Nils Aman - Sent to minors Aman was loaned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact Aman has two assists in two AHL appearances this season. The 24-year-old forward also has two helpers, two shots on goal and eight hits over five NHL outings in 2024-25.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Ty Young - Called up Sunday Young was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact It'll be the first stint in the NHL for Young, a fifth-round pick of Vancouver in 2022. Young made two starts in the ECHL this season, going 1-1-0 with a strong .974 save percentage. With Arturs Silovs sent down in a corresponding move, the 20-year-old Young figures to backup Kevin Lankinen with Thatcher Demko (knee) still sidelined.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Arturs Silovs - Sent to AHL Silovs was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact Silovs struggled to open the season with Vancouver, going 0-2-1 with an ugly .808 save percentage. The 23-year-old netminder will look to get on track in the AHL. Ty Young was recalled in a corresponding move to backup Kevin Lankinen while Thatcher Demko (knee) remains sidelined.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Lekkerimaki - Summoned from AHL Lekkerimaki was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact Lekkerimaki has five goals and two assists in seven AHL outings this season. With Brock Boeser (upper body) out indefinitely, the 20-year-old Lekkerimaki could make his NHL debut in a top-six role versus Calgary on Tuesday.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Arshdeep Bains - Sent back to Abbotsford Bains was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact Bains continues to shuttle between the NHL and AHL early in the season. The winger has one goal in seven games with Vancouver.

Canucks Get Important Update on Thatcher Demko's Return Timeline Thatcher Demko is close to making his return-just in time for the Canucks.

Teddy Blueger - Posts assist in loss Blueger managed an assist and two hits in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Blueger has two helpers over his last three outings, an improvement on the three-game slump that came before. The defensive forward is up to seven points, 13 shots on net, 19 hits, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating over 13 contests. Blueger likely can't sustain a 40-point pace for the full season, but he could help fantasy managers in deep formats who want to rack up hits without hurting their offensive output.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Danton Heinen - Lends helper in loss Heinen notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Heinen has three points over his last three outings while filling a middle-six role. He saw 16:55 of ice time Saturday, his second-highest total of the season, as the Canucks spread some minutes around in the absence of Brock Boeser (upper body). Heinen is up to seven points, 12 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-3 rating through 13 outings overall, playing primarily in a middle-six role.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Jake DeBrusk - Stays warm with assist DeBrusk logged an assist and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact DeBrusk couldn't score in a fourth straight game, but he kept his point streak alive by assisting on an Elias Pettersson tally. He's been a little streaky early on, but DeBrusk has held onto a top-six role most of the time to give him a high floor for scoring. He has three goals, five assists, 22 shots on net, 24 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 13 appearances, and he should continue to be goal-dangerous playing alongside Pettersson.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Quinn Hughes - Garners power-play helper Hughes posted a power-play assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Hughes extended his point streak to four games (one goal, six helpers) when he assisted on a Pius Suter tally in the third period. It's the longest streak of the season for Hughes, who continues to put up elite offense from the blue line for the Canucks. The reigning Norris Trophy winner has 15 points (four on the power play), 49 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 13 outings this season.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Pius Suter - Power-play marker in loss Suter scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Suter's goal was too late to make a difference Saturday, but he has now scored five times over the last eight contests. The 28-year-old is also on the power play now, replacing Brock Boeser (upper body), who was hurt Thursday versus the Kings. Suter's worth a look in fantasy with a larger role, which also includes top-six minutes at even strength. He has six points, 222 shots on net, 10 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 12 outings this season.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Filip Hronek - Lights lamp in loss Hronek scored a goal, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Hronek's first goal of the season brought the Canucks within one at 7:00 of the second period. The defenseman has three points over four outings in November, surpassing the two points he put up in October. He's at one goal, four helpers, 15 shots on net, 26 hits, 13 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 13 appearances in a top-pairing role. Hronek offers category coverage with decent offense for fantasy managers.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Elias Pettersson - Two points in Saturday's loss Pettersson scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Pettersson had one of his better games of the year, but the rest of the Canucks didn't follow suit. The 25-year-old has three points over his last three contests, which perhaps signals him getting back to a high level of offense. He's struggled with three goals, four assists, 24 shots on net, 21 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances this season.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Arturs Silovs - Appears in relief Silovs stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Silovs played the last 8:55 of the contest after Lankinen was mercifully pulled following a 20-for-27-save performance. This was Silovs' fourth appearance of the season and the only one in which he hasn't given up a goal -- he's yielded 15 tallies on 78 shots for an .808 save percentage. Lankinen has had a heavy workload, but he's been the Canucks' best option in goal since Thatcher Demko (knee) remains out. As such, expect Silovs to remain in the backup role for the foreseeable future.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Lankinen - Pulled in third period Lankinen stopped 20 of 27 shots before he was pulled in the third period of Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Oilers.
Impact Lankinen was handed his first regulation loss of the season, and it was ugly. The Oilers scored four times in a span of 4:55 during the third period to chase him from the contest. Lankinen is now 7-1-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 10 start this season, numbers in line with his typical level of performance. He'd been much better than that prior to Saturday, and he could get the chance to bounce back Tuesday against another division rival, the Flames, if he gets the start for that contest.
