Collects overtime win Tolopilo stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

Impact Tolopilo ended a six-game losing streak with this performance. The 26-year-old still had some trouble against the Ducks' top forwards, with Cutter Gauthier scoring twice and Leo Carlsson adding the other goal. Tolopilo is now up to 6-11-2 with a 3.61 GAA and an .881 save percentage across 21 appearances this season. The Canucks have two games left on the schedule -- Tuesday at home versus the Kings and Thursday in Edmonton. Despite the win Sunday, Tolopilo is nothing more than a desperation option for fantasy managers in those last two games, should he get the start in either game.

Drawing start in Anaheim Tolopilo will occupy the road crease Sunday against the Ducks, according to Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.

Impact Tolopilo will play for the fifth time in the Canucks' last six games, as Kevin Lankinen got the start in the first half of the team's back-to-back Saturday in San Jose. Tolopilo hasn't registered a win since March 12 against Nashville, and he'll have an uphill battle Sunday against an Anaheim club that is battling for playoff positioning in the Pacific Division. The Ducks snapped snapped their six-game losing streak against the Sharks on Thursday, and they should have the rest advantage against a Canucks team that went to a shootout Saturday.

Yields four goals in loss Tolopilo allowed four goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact The Kings held a 2-1 lead after the first period and never let the Canucks back in. Tolopilo continues to have a thankless job as the Canucks' starter in the absence of Kevin Lankinen (upper body). This was Tolopilo's sixth straight loss, and it's the fifth time in that span he's allowed at least four goals. He's at a 5-11-2 record with a 3.66 GAA and an .881 save percentage over 20 appearances. Tolopilo and Jiri Patera are likely to split the next two games, as the Canucks visit the Sharks on Saturday and the Ducks on Sunday.

Slated to start Thursday Tolopilo is slated to start on the road against the Kings on Thursday, per Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.

Impact Tolopilo is 0-5-0 with a 4.87 GAA and an .844 save percentage across his past five appearances. That's dropped him to 5-10-2 with a 3.63 GAA and an .883 save percentage in 19 outings this season. The Kings have won four of their past six (4-1-1), including a 4-0 victory over Vancouver on March 6 -- though Kevin Lankinen (upper body) got the assignment for that game.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Decent in loss Tolopilo stopped 26 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Tolopilo took his fifth straight loss, but this was easily his best performance during the skid. However, he got beat by the Golden Knights' depth players, as the goals against him were scored by Brayden McNabb and Cole Smith. Tolopilo is down to 5-10-2 with a 3.63 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Kevin Lankinen (upper body) is currently unavailable, and if he's shut down for the year, Tolopilo should see the majority of the remaining starts for the Canucks. Their next game is Thursday in Los Angeles, the first of three contests in four days.

APRIL 8 • Associated Press

Playing in third straight game Tolopilo will guard the home goal against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, per Canucks Insider.

Impact Tolopilo has been lit up in each of his last four starts, allowing at least four goals during his four-game losing streak. The Belarusian netminder is 5-9-2 with a 3.73 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 18 outings in 2025-26. Tolopilo will face a Vegas squad that has won each of its first three games under new bench boss John Tortorella, including a win against the Canucks on March 30.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers fourth straight loss Tolopilo stopped 17 of 23 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Tolopilo got another start due to the absence of Kevin Lankinen (illness), but he struggled between the pipes once again. The 25-year-old has been far from reliable in most fantasy formats and has allowed three or more goals in six games in a row while allowing at least four goals in the last four. Tolopilo has posted a 5.69 GAA and an .819 save percentage during an ongoing four-game losing streak.

APRIL 5 • Associated Press

Saturday starter Tolopilo will start between the pipes Saturday against the Mammoth, Tyson Cole of Canucks Army reports.

Impact Tolopilo gets the call for a second straight game after he allowed four goals on 38 shots against the Wild on Thursday. On the season, he is 5-8-2 with a 3.57 GAA and an .887 save percentage. The 25-year-old also brings a streak of five straight games allowing three goals or more into Saturday's contest. He'll look to halt that against the Mammoth, winners of two straight games with a combined 12 goals scored in those outings.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four goals in loss Tolopilo turned aside 34 of 38 shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact Tolopilo was fighting an uphill battle Thursday, as he did well to dispel 34 shots against Minnesota's high-powered offense. With Thursday's loss, the 25-year-old netminder now holds a 5-8-2 record, a 3.57 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 17 outings this season. He's unlikely to take more than a handful of starts away from Kevin Lankinen down the stretch of the regular season, limiting Tolopilo's fantasy value for the remainder of the campaign. On the bright side, he has made more than 30 saves in six of his appearances this season, which is a strong building point for the young netminder following the end of his rookie season.

Slated to face Minnesota Tolopilo is slated to start on the road against Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact Tolopilo struggled in March, going 2-4-0 with a 4.46 GAA and an .835 save percentage across six outings. He has a 5-7-2 record, 3.53 GAA and .886 save percentage in 16 appearances in 2025-26. While he's left plenty to be desired this campaign, he did stop 28 of 30 shots en route to a 4-2 win over Minnesota on Dec. 6. The Wild rank 12th in goals per game with 3.22 this season.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Poor showing in rare start Tolopilo stopped seven of 11 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact Tolopilo got the start but was pulled 4:36 into the second period after Olli Maatta scored to put the Flames ahead 4-1. The Canucks weren't able to bail out Tolopilo, who ended up with the loss in his first game action in two weeks. He's now at 5-7-2 with a 3.53 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 16 appearances this season. Kevin Lankinen hasn't played that well either, and he gave up three goals on 12 shots in relief Saturday. Bottom line, the Canucks' goaltending is a unit to avoid at all costs in fantasy, especially with a gauntlet of a three-game road trip coming up. That trip kicks off Monday in Vegas.

Slated to start Saturday Tolopilo is expected to start on the road against Calgary on Saturday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Impact Tolopilo has a 5-6-2 record, 3.34 GAA and .892 save percentage in 15 outings in 2025-26. His last start came March 14 when he stopped 28 of 33 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Seattle. Calgary has a subpar 30-34-8 record, but it has secured at least one point in five straight games (4-0-1).

Surrenders five goals Tolopilo stopped 28 of 33 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Tolopilo had won his last two outings, but the Kraken were too much for him to handle. The 25-year-old netminder is down to 5-6-2 with a 3.34 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 15 appearances this season. He continues to battle with Kevin Lankinen for playing time, though the Canucks will likely have their eyes on the draft lottery given how far adrift they are in the standings. The Canucks host the Panthers on Tuesday and the Lightning on Thursday, so Tolopilo is best avoided in weekly fantasy formats.

Defending crease Saturday Tolopilo will protect the home net against Seattle on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Tolopilo is coming off a 16-save performance in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Nashville. He has won his last two outings while making 36 saves on 42 shots. Tolopilo has a 5-5-2 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 14 NHL appearances this season. Seattle ranks 26th in the league with 2.80 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Salvages shootout win Tolopilo stopped 16 of 19 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.

Impact Vancouver was able to get the win after a third-period rally to force overtime. Tolopilo was perfect in the extra session and the shootout, picking up his second win in a row despite the lackluster performance overall. He's now 5-5-2 with a 3.21 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 14 appearances. The Canucks' next game is Saturday versus the Kraken. Expect Tolopilo and Kevin Lankinen to continue sharing the crease, though neither has much rest-of-season upside on the NHL's worst team.
