Arshdeep Bains - NHL News & Rumors

Collects two points in loss Bains scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Bains made the Canucks' Opening Night roster and has featured in a bottom-six role to begin the season. These were his first two points of the year to go with two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. The 25-year-old winger had logged just six points over 49 career NHL games prior to this year, and he was limited to 24 points in 34 regular-season outings for AHL Abbotsford last year. Given his expected role on a weak team, Bains likely won't be a steady source of offense in 2026-27.

Two goals in Friday's AHL loss Bains scored twice in AHL Abbotsford's 6-3 loss to Henderson on Friday.

Impact Bains has split time between the NHL and AHL this season. He's been productive for Abbotsford with eight goals and six assists in 17 contests, including eight points in his last 12 outings. Should the Canucks sell off forwards ahead of the trade deadline, Bains would be a top candidate for a call-up.

Moved to AHL Bains was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

Impact Bains has a goal and five points in 28 outings with Vancouver in 2025-26. He also has three goals and six points in five appearances with Abbotsford this season.

Called up Friday Bains was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

Impact Bains' promotion comes as Marco Rossi (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. If Bains gets into the lineup during the Canucks' back-to-back against the Kraken and Bruins on Friday and Saturday, respectively, it will likely come at the expense of Aatu Raty or Liam Ohgren.

Rolling since demotion Bains scored two goals and added an assist in AHL Abbotsford's 5-2 win over Manitoba on Wednesday.

Impact Bains has three goals and three helpers over five games since he was waived and demoted to Abbotsford. He put up five points in 26 NHL outings prior to landing on waivers. The 24-year-old could be a candidate for another call-up if injuries become a problem for the Canucks later in the year.

Hits waivers Bains was placed on waivers Tuesday, according to Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK.

Impact Bains has provided one goal, five points, 14 shots on net and 22 hits across 26 NHL appearances this season. Assuming he clears waivers, he will report to AHL Abbotsford.

Prevents shutout Friday Bains scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Bains cut the deficit to 2-1 at 4:17 of the third period, denying Karel Vejmelka a chance at consecutive shutouts. Bains has a goal and an assist over the last two games, though he remains in a fourth-line role. The 24-year-old winger is up to five points, 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 23 appearances this season.

Breaks slump with helper Bains logged an assist and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Bains snapped a seven-game slump with the helper. He was also scratched five times in that span, but the injury to Conor Garland (upper body) has opened the door for Bains to play regularly again. For the season, Bains is at four helpers, 20 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 22 appearances in a fourth-line role.

Falling out of favor Bains was scratched for the fifth straight game in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

Impact Bains played in 18 straight games to start the season, but he managed just three assists. Two of those helpers came in the first three contests, and his decline has led to him sitting out after watching his ice time drop as the Canucks got healthier following a bad run of injuries. Bains has added 13 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-2 rating this season. If he continues to see limited opportunities at the NHL level, he could get reassigned to AHL Abbotsford when the Canucks get some forwards back from injured reserve.

Generates assist Thursday Bains notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Bains set up the second of Filip Chytil's goals in the contest. The two have started the year on the Canucks' second line alongside Conor Garland. It's not a particularly notable trio, but it's encouraging for Bains that he's seeing middle-six minutes. He's a tough customer, but fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting the 24-year-old to produce much offense -- prior to Thursday, he had just one goal, 12 shots and 24 hits over his first 21 NHL appearances across the last two seasons.
