According to Latvian General Manager Rudolfs Kalvitis, Arturs Silovs has knee inflammation from overuse during last season and overtraining during the offseason but is expected to be ready to go for Vancouver's training camp. The 23-year-old netminder signed a two-year, $1.7 million contract in the offseason after posting 5-5-0 record in last year's playoffs to go along with his 2.91 GAA and .898 SV% after only appearing in four regular season games in the regular season.

Silovs was Vancouver's playoff saviour in 2023-24 after both of their top two goalies went down and he has earned himself a two-year contract extension worth $1.7 million ($850,000 AAV). The 23-year-old Latvian also appeared in four games during the regular season for Vancouver, going 3-0-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .881 SV%. He is expected to be the Canucks' back up goaltender for the 2024-25 campaign.

Silovs had one of his worst starts of the 2024 playoffs in Game 6 as he allowed five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) in a heartbreaking loss but will be given the chance for redemption as he takes the crease for Game 7 on Monday vs. Edmonton. The 23-year-old was thrust into the starting role after Thatcher Demko and Casey DeSmith both went down due to injury in the first round and has not looked back since, with his 5-4-0 record, .898 SV%, 2.89 GAA and 1 shutout in the playoffs. He will host the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, who are expected to be firing the puck a lot after leading the NHL in SOG per game in the regular season (33.8).

Silovs allowed three goals on 30 shots (.900 SV%) as Vancouver dropped Game 4 late in Edmonton last time out and will start Game 5 after being the first goalie off the ice. The 23-year-old rookie netminder opened the playoffs as Vancouver's third goalie but has done well locking down the crease for seven games so far with his 4-3-0 record, 2.71 GAA and .907 SV%. He will host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 5 on Thursday, who will be looking to keep the momentum going and break the series tie after winning Game 4 in the final moments.

Silovs allowed three goals on 45 shots in the Canucks win in Game 3 in Edmonton. It was a dazzling performance for the young netminder, who has gone 4-2 with a .908 SV% in his first six postseason starts.

Silovs allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) in Game 2 as the Oilers evened out the series and will return to the crease on Sunday for Game 3 in Edmonton as he attempts to get back in the win column. The 23-year-old started the playoffs as Vancouver's third goalie and has held his own with his 3-2-0 record, 2.58 GAA and .899 SV%. He will head to Edmonton on Sunday as Vancouver attempts to take a 2-1 series lead vs. the Oilers, who have won six of their first eight playoff games.

Silovs stopped 14 of 18 shots (.778 SV%) in a 5-4 back-and-forth opening series win over Edmonton and is expected to take the crease again for Game 2 after being the first goalie off the ice. The 23-year-old entered the playoffs as Vancouver's third goalie but has stood on his head when needed most, with his 3-1-0 record, 2.28 GAA and .908 SV%. He will host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 2 on Friday, who have allowed three or more goals in four of their first six playoff contests.

Silovs was perfect, stopping 28 of 28 shots to close out the Nashville Predators in Game 6 of Vancouver's opening series and is expected to start Game 1 on Wednesday in Edmonton. The 23-year-old entered the playoffs as Vancouver's third goaltender but has locked in the crease under an immense amount of pressure, with his 2-1-0 record, 1.70 GAA and .938 SV% through three playoff appearances so far. He will head to Edmonton to take on the Oilers on Wednesday, who finished off the Los Angeles Kings in five games in their opening-round series.

With Casey DeSmith and Thatcher Demko both unavailable due to injury, Silvos was thrusted into action in Game 4 on Sunday and performed admirably. He stopped 27 of the 30 shots he faced and, thanks to a dramatic hat-trick from Brock Boeser, was able to see Vancouver through to a 4-3 victory in overtime. Silovs and the Canucks enter tonight's action as -120 favourites with a chance to eliminate the Predators.

With Thatcher Demko's return from a lower-body injury, Silovs has been reassigned to the Abbotsford Canucks of the AHL. The 23-year-old Silovs recorded a 2.47 GAA and .881 SV% in four games (3-0-1) with Vancouver.
