J.T. Miller - Adds late helper Wednesday Miller produced a power-play assist and five hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Miller has a goal and five assists over his last six contests. His helper Wednesday came on a Pius Suter empty-netter late in the third period. Miller is second on the Canucks with 35 points (nine goals, 26 helpers) while adding 82 shots on net, 92 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 40 appearances.

Elias Pettersson - Provides helper Wednesday Pettersson notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Pettersson has a helper in consecutive contests. It's the first time he's gotten on the scoresheet in back-to-back games since a five-game streak from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6. The 26-year-old center is up to 11 goals, 21 assists, 86 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 40 hits and a minus-3 rating through 44 appearances. Pettersson is at risk of missing the 60-point mark if he continues to struggle -- he's reached that threshold in all but one campaign in his career, with the exception being 2020-21, when he was limited to 26 of 56 games.

Quinn Hughes - Dishes pair of assists Hughes notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Hughes earned his third straight multi-point effort and his fourth such performance during a seven-game point streak. During the streak, he has five goals and six helpers. The star defenseman is up to 58 points (14 goals, 44 helpers), 135 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating across 46 appearances. Hughes has 23 more points than the next closest Canuck, J.T. Miller, who has 35 points on the season.

Linus Karlsson - Earns first career goal Karlsson scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Karlsson's tally at 1:28 of the second period was his first NHL goal and point, and it was also the Canucks' game-winner. It took 10 appearances across the last two seasons for the 25-year-old forward to get on the scoresheet. He's added five shots on net, four hits and a plus-1 rating over six outings in 2024-25. Karlsson was listed on the second line Wednesday but saw ice time in line with a bottom-six forward, so he's unlikely to be much of a factor in fantasy.

Nils Hoglander - Opens scoring Wednesday Hoglander scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Hoglander had the opening goal in this contest. The winger has picked up two points, four shots and seven hits over three outings since his most recent healthy scratch. He played alongside Elias Pettersson and Linus Karlsson, though Hoglander and Karlsson had fairly limited minutes in the game. For the season, Hoglander is at four goals, 11 points, 49 shots, 54 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 46 appearances.

Pius Suter - Scores empty-netter Suter scored an empty-net goal on the power play and added two PIM in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Suter has warmed back up with four points over his last four games. He's also getting involved in special-teams play with a power-play goal Wednesday and a shorthanded tally Monday in St. Louis. The 28-year-old is up to 13 goals -- two shy of his career high -- with 10 assists, 77 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 49 appearances.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Thatcher Demko - Bounces back Wednesday Demko stopped 31 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact This was a close game for a majority of the contest -- the Canucks didn't have a multi-goal lead until Pius Suter's empty-netter with 19 seconds left in the third period. Demko still played well and came away with his second win in four starts. The 29-year-old netminder is now 4-5-3 with a 3.27 GAA and an .877 save percentage. Demko is at risk of losing playing time if he can't get his season on track, so performances like this one will need to become more frequent. The Canucks' three-game road trip ends Friday in Dallas.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • NHL.COM

Max Sasson - Returning to AHL Sasson is no longer on the Canucks' roster, per the NHL media site, indicating he was sent down to AHL Abbotsford.

Impact The Canucks activated Dakota Joshua (leg) and Noah Juulsen (undisclosed) from injured reserve, and created the two roster spots by demoting Sasson and putting Kiefer Sherwood (undisclosed) on IR. Sasson could be back with the big club later in the campaign. He has six points over 24 NHL contests.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Juulsen - Activated Wednesday Juulsen (undisclosed) was activated off injured reserve, per the NHL media site, which clears the way for him to return Wednesday versus Nashville.

Impact Juulsen missed six straight games due to the injury. He has no points, 21 PIM, 89 hits and 57 blocks in 32 outings in 2024-25. Juulsen will likely serve on the third pairing against the Predators.

Canucks: Why sign J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson long term if there were issues? The rift between the Canucks two star centres is a hot topic again after Jim Rutherford's comments on Tuesday.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • THEPROVINCE.COM

Kiefer Sherwood - On injured reserve Sherwood (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Impact Sherwood hasn't played since Jan. 23, so this move is presumably retroactive to that date. He has 13 goals, 21 points and 273 hits in 47 appearances in 2024-25. Placing Sherwood on IR frees up a roster spot to activate Dakota Joshua (leg), who is set to return for Wednesday's tilt against Nashville.

Thatcher Demko - Starting against Nashville Demko will defend the road crease against the Predators on Wednesday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Demko hasn't been very sharp in recent outings, as he's gone 1-3-0 with a 4.03 GAA and .833 save percentage over his last four starts. He'll have a favorable chance to get back on track Wednesday, as the Predators have averaged 2.69 goals per game this season, which is the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dakota Joshua - Good to play Wednesday Joshua (leg) is set to be activated off injured reserve and return Wednesday versus Nashville, per Dan Murphy of Sportsnet.

Impact Joshua hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 3 because of the injury. He has two goals, four points and 83 hits in 24 outings in 2024-25. His return might lead to Max Sasson serving as a healthy scratch.
