Ready for Saturday's contest Edler (upper body) will play in Saturday's game against the Canadiens, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.

Impact Edler's absence lasted just one game, as he'll return to the lineup for a third straight matchup against the Habs. Through five games this year, the 34-year-old has posted an assist, nine shots on net, seven hits and four blocked shots.

Trending in wrong direction Edler (upper body) is trending towards not playing in Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, Matthew Sekeres of TSN 1040 reports.

Impact Edler exited Wednesday's contest with the injury and didn't suit up Thursday. With Edler out, Olli Juolevi entered the lineup in a top-four role on the blue line. Juolevi will likely reprise that role if Edler is ruled out ahead of Saturday's game.

Sitting out Thursday Edler (upper body) isn't on the ice for warmups, indicating he won't play in Thursday's game against Montreal, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Edler suffered the injury in Wednesday's game, and his timetable for a return remains unclear. Along with Edler, Travis Hamonic (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, so the defensive core will be down two players. Look for Brogan Rafferty, Jalen Chatfield and Olli Juolevi to all enter the lineup for Thursday's game.

Exits early Wednesday Edler suffered an upper-body injury and won't return to Wednesday's game against the Canadiens.

Impact Edler logged just 6:47 of ice time before departing. The 34-year-old handles a significant role on the Canucks' blue line, playing more than 20 minutes on a consistent basis. The Canucks may not provide an update Wednesday, so his status is uncertain for Thursday's rematch against the Canadiens.

Practices Sunday Edler (leg) joined the Canucks at practice Sunday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.

Impact Edler's leg was cut by a skate in Saturday's contest against Calgary but it appears he avoided any major damage. Barring a setback, he should be good to go for Monday's rematch with the Flames.

Cut by skate Edler (leg) was cut on a skate in the third period of Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Flames. After the game, head coach Travis Green didn't know how serious the injury was, Brendan Bat...

Impact Adding insult to literal injury, Edler was called for an interference minor on a neutral-zone collision with Matthew Tkachuk. Edler was hurt when Tkachuk's skate came up as he fell, catching Edler in the left leg below the knee. The 34-year-old defenseman is a critical part of the Canucks' blue line -- missing him for any amount of time would be bad for the team. An update on his status should surface prior to Monday's rematch with the Flames.

Notches assist Edler produced an assist, three blocked shots and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Edler was a factor in all aspects of the game, although he also looked tired at times after skating 25:32 in Wednesday's season opener. The helper was his first point of the year to go with four hits and three blocks. The 34-year-old usually provides a well-rounded stat line -- he had 33 points, 162 blocked shots and 108 hits in 59 outings last year.

Bags helper in loss Edler recorded an assist, four shots on goal, six blocked shots and three hits in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Vegas in Game 4.

Impact Edler made a mark on all parts of the game, although it wasn't enough to save the Canucks from falling in a 3-1 series deficit. The Swede has seven assists, 55 blocked shots, 36 shots on net and 29 hits through 14 playoff contests.

Provides pair of assists Edler recorded two assists, four blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Vegas in Game 2.

Impact Edler set up Elias Pettersson for a second-period tally and added the secondary helper on Bo Horvat's goal early in the third. The all-around strong effort from Edler gave him six assists, 45 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 12 contests.

Expected to be fine Edler (ear) is expected to be fine for Friday's Game 6, Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

Impact Edler was cut by a skate during the second period of Wednesday's Game 5 win over the Blues, but he shouldn't be forced to miss any further action as a result. However, if his prognosis changes, another update on his status will undoubtedly surface prior to Game 6. The 34-year-old blueliner has picked up four assists through Vancouver's first nine postseason contests.

Cut by skate in Game 5 Edler (face/ear) was cut by a skate during the second period of Wednesday's Game 5 and did not return for the start of the third, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Edler appeared to be cut on the ear by Jordan Kyrou's skate late in the second period. The 34-year-old blueliner immediately required the attention of team doctors in the locker room. It's unclear if the injury will affect Edler's availability for Friday's Game 6.

AUGUST 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Notches assist Edler posted an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blues in Game 4.

Impact Edler had the lone helper on J.T. Miller's second-period tally. The 34-year-old Edler also served two minor penalties, but neither of them resulted in a Blues goal. The Swede has two helpers, 18 blocked shots and seven shots on net through four games in the series.

Effective all over ice Edler produced two assists, four hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild in Game 2.

Impact Edler also skated a team-high 24:06 in the contest. The Swedish blueliner collected 33 points, 162 blocks and 108 hits in 59 outings during the regular season. Edler's usage is that of a shutdown defenseman, but he's more than capable of chipping in on offense as well.

AUGUST 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Records two shots Wednesday Edler registered two shots, two blocks and one hit in 16:34 of ice time against Winnipeg on Wednesday.

Impact Edler was back in action after suffering an undisclosed injury in practice Saturday. The blueliner averaged 22:37 of ice time this season during the regular season and was likely just being eased back Wednesday. Fantasy players should expect him to take on more minutes heading into Sunday's clash with Minnesota.

Helped off ice Edler (undisclosed) had to be helped off the ice after going down hard during Saturday's practice, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

Impact Due to the NHL's new injury update policy, the Canucks won't be releasing any details regarding the specific nature or severity of Edler's issue, so we likely won't have an idea of whether he's in danger of missing game action until Vancouver starts practicing in Edmonton next week.
