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.

Pettersson missed Tuesday's team practice due to illness but was a full participant in Wednesday's optional team skate and is expected to suit up for Game 1 in Edmonton. The 25-year-old superstar has struggled so far through six games in the playoffs, with just three assists, eight SOG and a -2 plus/minus.

Pettersson was not present at Vancouver's practice on Tuesday due to an illness and is hopeful to be good to go for Game 1 on Wednesday vs. Edmonton. The 25-year-old superstar struggled in Vancouver's opening-round victory over Nashville, with only three assists, eight SOG and a -2 plus/minus in six games played.

Demko has been out since Vancouver's opening game of the playoffs and is expected to remain out until at least Game 4 of the Canucks' second series vs. Edmonton. The 28-year-old will be highly welcomed back if he can return after going 35-14-2 during the regular season and having a 2.45 GAA and .918 SV%.

This will be Forbort's first game since March 2nd. He was initially sidelined due to injury but sat as a healthy scratch for most of round one vs. the Maple Leafs. Forbort will replace Kevin Shattenkirk in the lineup for Game 1 against Florida.

Silovs gave up two goals on 22 shots in the Canucks loss to the Predators in Game 5. Since coming into the Canucks' crease in Game 4, Silovs has gone 1-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .904 SV%. In the regular season and postseason combined, the 23-year-old is 4-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .890 SV%.

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.

Chytil suffered a setback in his initial attempt to return from an upper-body injury in late January after going down at practice. He missed the entirety of the 2023-24 regular season but appears to be nearing a return in the playoffs. Chytil was a major component of the Rangers offence, scoring 22 goals and 45 points as a 23-year-old in 2022-23.

Juulsen will take the place of Tyler Myers, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Juulsen finished the 2023-24 regular season with one goal and six assists in 54 games.

Myers absence from Game 2 on Tuesday night is a surprise, with the Canucks not announcing any sort of injury prior to warmups. Noah Juulsen is expected to draw into the lineup in his place.

Demko missed 14 games toward the end of the regular season due to a knee injury before returning for the final two games heading into the playoffs. He was solid in a 4-2 game-one victory over the Nashville Predators on Sunday, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) but will be sidelined for game two and possibly beyond with an undisclosed injury. It is unclear if this injury is related to his previous ailment.

Forbort has not played an NHL game since March 2nd but appears to be nearing a return despite likely being ruled out for game three. The 32-year-old Forbort was limited to only 35 games with Boston this season, registering four points (0G / 4A), 66 hits, and 65 blocks.
