Promoted from AHL
Willander was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday.
Impact
The Canucks are dealing with multiple injuries on the blue line, so Willander might draw into the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers if Quinn Hughes (lower body) is unable to suit up. The 20-year-old Willander has yet to make his NHL debut, so he'd likely receive sheltered minutes on the third pairing if he's forced into action in the near future.

Sent to AHL
Willander was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Saturday.
Impact
Willander was a healthy scratch for both games after he was recalled Oct. 20. The 20-year-old was selected 11th overall in the 2023 Draft and has yet to appear in an NHL game. He will get plenty of ice time in Abbotsford and could be recalled later in the season. The Canucks recalled defenseman Victor Mancini in a corresponding move.

Called up by Vancouver
Willander was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.
Impact
Willander was sent to the minors ahead of the regular season, but he'll join the NHL club to provide additional depth on the blue line after Jimmy Schuldt was assigned to the minors Monday. Over four appearances with Abbotsford this year, he's recorded a goal and a minus-5 rating.

Sent to minors
Willander was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.
Impact
Willander signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks during the offseason, but he'll begin the 2025-26 campaign in the minors. He was selected 11th overall by the Canucks in the 2023 NHL Draft, and it's possible that he joins Vancouver at some point this year.

Agrees to entry-level contract
Willander signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.
Impact
Willander had two goals and 24 points across 39 outings with Boston University as a sophomore in 2024-25. He also recorded two goals and five points in seven appearances for Sweden in the 2025 Under-20 World Junior Championships. The 20-year-old defenseman was selected by Vancouver with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.

Back to BU
Willander will return to Boston University for his junior season, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
Impact
Willander has spent the last two years with the Terriers in the NCAA and the defenseman has recorded 49 points over 77 career games. The 20-year-old, selected with the 11th pick in the first round by the Canucks in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, was a big reason why the team finished as the national runner-up this past year. Vancouver still holds his rights for two more years.

Plucking apples
Willander has six assists in his last five games with Boston University.
Impact
Willander has two goals and 18 points through 27 NCAA appearances this season. The 20-year-old blueliner should surpass his 25-point freshman campaign from 2023-24, but he has been hot and cold offensively during his second college season. Vancouver chose Willander with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
