Garland was a surprise healthy scratch on Tuesday but is expected to be back in the lineup on Thursday. Garland will replace Nils Hoglander.

Hoglander has just one assist in four games this season. He'll be a healthy scratch in Minnesota with Conor Garland expected to draw back into the lineup.

Sherwood was a healthy scratch for the last two games but he will replace Zach Sanford in the lineup on Thursday. Sherwood has one goal and one assist in three games this season.


The 32-year-old defenseman was activated off the IR Tuesday after missing time with a lower-body injury. The massive 14-year-veteran will start his fourth season with Vancouver having scored 13 goals and 60 points with 166 PIM through 205 games as a member of the Canucks.




Demko will be looking to get the Canucks in the win column for the first time in 2022-23 as they head to Washington to take on the Capitals Monday night. The six-year veteran has struggled mightily in the early season, losing both starts while allowing seven goals on his first 55 shots. The Canucks will need a lot more from their 2021 All-Star netminder if they hope to win their first game of the young season.

Tucker Poolman was hurt in Saturday's game against the Flyers, so Juulsen comes up to serve as the Canucks No.7 defenseman in Washington. Juulsen did not record a point and had nine PIMS in his first two AHL contests of the season.

Demko will take the crease for Vancouver as the Canucks head to Philadelphia for a Saturday matinee. The Canucks starter will be looking to change his early season luck after struggling in their opener against Edmonton, allowing four goals on 24 shots. He draws a much less lethal matchup Saturday as he looks to get a Win on the board for the first time this year.

Despite not being available for Saturday's game, DeBrusk's injury isn't as bad as originally feared. With DeBrusk out, Craig Smith is expected to move up to the top line, and Trent Frederic will replace Smith on the third line.
