MacEachern was effective in a limited role with Vancouver this season, scoring four points (1G / 3A) in eight games, but will return to Abbotsford (AHL). The 31-year-old forward scored 32 points (12G / 20A) in 40 games with the Springfield Thunderbirds (AHL) last season.

Given Demko's injury history over the past few seasons, there is always extra concern when he is sidelined, but he appears to be on track with his original two-to-three week timeline and could return to the lineup as early as this week. Kevin Lankinen has showcased mixed results for the Canucks, who will be eagerly awaiting the return of their number-one netminder.

Tolopilo made his NHL debut last season, playing two games (1-1-0) with the Canucks and posting a 2.15 GAA and .885 SV%. He has a 3.35 GAA and .901 SV% in five games (1-3-1) with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL). He will likely serve almost exclusively as the backup to Kevin Lankinen in Vancouver. Jiri Patera was loaned to Abbotsford in a corresponding move.

Patera has been with Vancouver since Thatcher Demko (lower body) was sidelined, but he did not see much time between the pipes, and will return to the AHL for some increased action. He has a 3.10 GAA and .894 SV% in five games (1-2-1) with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) this season. Vancouver has recalled Nikita Tolopilo from Abbotsford in a corresponding move.

MacEachern will slot in for Lukas Reichel, who was a surprise scratch on Thursday. He'll skate with Linus Karlsson and Max Sasson on Vancouver's fourth line.

It's unclear whether Reichel is dealing with an undisclosed injury or if he's simply a healthy scratch. MacKenzie MacEachern will play in his place.

With Thatcher Demko (lower body) still sidelined, the Canucks will continue rolling with Lankinen, turning to him on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. The 30-year-old Lankinen has had an up-and-down 2025-26 season, but has been excellent since Demko's injury, saving 82 of 89 shots (.921 SV%) while posting a 1-1-1 record. He has a 3.40 GAA and .890 SV% in 11 games this season (4-5-2). The Canucks enter Thursday's contest as +128 home underdogs against a Stars team they defeated 5-3 earlier this season.

Garland suffered an undisclosed injury in the first period of Vancouver's 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday, exiting the game after only 4:21 time-on-ice. The 29-year-old Garland has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 17 games this season. He will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Dallas Stars after a one-game absence.

Garland suffered an undisclosed injury in the first period of Vancouver's 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday, exiting the game after only 4:21 time-on-ice. The 29-year-old Garland has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 17 games this season. Garland already missed several games this season due to an injury, but it's unclear if it is related to his current ailment. Kiefer Sherwood is expected to take Garland's spot on the top line.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Canucks will turn to Patera for his start of the season. The 26-year-old Patera has played eight career NHL games (3-3-1), all with the Golden Knights, posting a 3.57 GAA and .902 SV%. He has a 3.10 GAA and .894 SV% in five games (1-2-1) with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) this season. The Canucks enter Monday's contest as sizable +243 road underdogs against the Florida Panthers.

After refusing to play with the Marlies in the AHL, Toronto terminated Kampf's contract in hopes he can resume his career with a new team at the NHL level, which will begin on Monday as a member of the Canucks. The 30-year-old Czech forward has been an effective bottom-six player over the course of his career, with 143 points (48G / 95A) in 536 career games.

Mancini has been a go-to call-up when injuries arise for Vancouver, but he has been reassigned to the Abbotsford (AHL). The 23-year-old defenseman has eight points (2G / 6A) in 36 career NHL games.
