Anders Nilsson News
Nilsson is in the starter's crease at the Canucks morning skate.

Nilsson gave up two goals on 26 shots in the Canucks win in Florida on Saturday. Nilsson has won back-to-back starts while stopping 57 of 60 shots (.950 SV%) and will make his third straight start tonight. Dating back to last season, Nilsson is 5-1-0 while allowing just nine goals on 165 shots (.946 SV%) in six October starts.

Nilsson will start Saturday in Florida.

Nilsson was outstanding in his season debut, stopping 33 of 34 shots in the Canucks win in Tampa Bay on Thursday. Nilsson was fantastic in the month of October last year, going 3-1-0 with a 1.89 GAA, .943 SV% and two shutouts before falling off in the next six months. Florida has a very dangerous offence, but haven’t got going yet this season.

During his first season with the Canucks, Nilson was 7-14-4 with a 3.44 GAA and .901 SV% in 27 appearances. Nilsson is a netminder with a career 3.07 GAA and .907 SV%, so it is hard to trust him in fantasy—especially against a Lightning team with one of the best offences in the NHL.

Nilsson will start against the Blues on Friday.

Nilsson allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Canucks loss in Los Angeles on March 12th. With Jacob Markstrom starting last night, Nilsson is expected to make his 23rd start of the season tonight.

Nilsson will start Tuesday against the Avalanche.

Nilsson led the Canucks onto the ice for warmups, contrary to an earlier announcement from the team that Markstrom would start.

Markstrom is reportedly out with an illness, so the Canucks will turn to Nilsson for the third time in four nights. He allowed four goals on 30 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Sharks on Thursday. He draws a rough matchup tonight against the Bruins.

Nilsson will start in San Jose on Thursday.

Nilsson stopped all 20 shots he faced in relief of Jacob Markstrom last night vs. the Panthers. Nilsson has struggled this season, posting a 3.39 GAA and a .906 SV%, and remarkably hasn’t won a game since November 30th against Nashville. He draws an awful matchup tonight as the Canucks are on a back-to-back in San Jose, who are expected to experiment with Brent Burns on their top forward line.
