Tom Willander - NHL News & Rumors

Four points in last five games Willander scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 shootout loss to Toronto.

Impact The young defender has four points including two goals, in his last five games. Willander has amassed four goals, 12 assists, 41 blocked shots and 39 shots in 43 games in his rookie season. Vancouver is really struggling right now -- it has just two wins in its past 17 games (2-12-3). Willander is in tough on a thin squad, but he's managing to put up offense during this rough patch.

Opens scoring in loss Willander scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Willander missed Sunday's game versus the Penguins due to an illness, but he made a quick impact in his return to the lineup. Willander may see steadier playing time going forward while Zeev Buium (face) is out of action. Willander has three goals, 15 points, 37 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 41 appearances this season. Considering he's in a third-pairing role on a bad team, he's done fairly well on offense as a rookie.

Notches pair of helpers Willander logged two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Impact Willander logged his first multi-point game in the NHL by assisting on goals by Evander Kane (on the power play) and Conor Garland. Through 14 appearances, Willander has five assists, nine shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He's been fairly sheltered on the third pairing and second power-play unit, but his promising offense is already peaking through. He's not quite productive enough yet for redraft formats, but dynasty managers should be patient for the 20-year-old to grow into a larger role.

Collects first career assist Willander notched an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact The helper was Willander's first point in four career NHL games. The 20-year-old defenseman was expected to spend most of 2025-26 in the AHL, but the Canucks have sustained a number of injuries on the blue line, pressing him into service at the NHL level sooner than expected. He's added four shots on net, two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating so far. Willander will probably head back to AHL Abbotsford once Victor Mancini (upper body) and/or Derek Forbort (undisclosed) get cleared to return from injured reserve.
