DeBrusk was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Kings after it was revealed he was late to a team meeting.

Forbort will be forced to miss Sunday's game after enjoying his most productive game on Saturday against the Kings. Forbort registered two assists in over 22 minutes of ice-time enroute to a 4-2 victory. He'll be replaced in Sunday's lineup by Kevin Shattenkirk.

Juulsen had appeared in the Canucks first three games of the season prior to being scratched on Thursday.

Demko will look to continue a fabulous start to the season that has seen him post a 1.70 GAA and .953 SV% in two games (1-1-0).

After a mediocre 2022-23 season where he finished with a 3.16 GAA and .901 SV%, Demko looks poised to rebound in a positive way. He will be put to the test again on Thursday as the Canucks are +113 road underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that is eager to get into the win column after losing three straight (0-2-1).

His move to the LTIR allows the Canucks to keep Jack Studnicka on the active roster after he was originally an emergency call up.

Demko was sensational in his only start of the season, stopping 21 of 22 shots against (.955 SV%) as he beat Edmonton 8-1 six days ago.

In 2022-23, he had seven goals, five assists, 15 PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in 49 games played with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).

Blueger was absent from the Canucks' season opening victory over Edmonton and will now be out for an undisclosed amount of time as he is week-to-week with a leg injury.

He hosts the Oilers who finished 2022-23 first in the NHL in goals (325), power play percentage (32.4%), and sixth in shots per game (33.6).
