Bains will take a seat on Wednesday as the Canucks look to get some fresh legs into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Bains is yet to register a point in eight games this season.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Canucks will turn to Silovs between the pipes on Wednesday after losing with Casey DeSmith 6-3 last night to the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Canucks enter action as -136 road favourites against the Arizona Coyotes.

Juulsen will take a seat on Tuesday as Nikita Zadorov draws back into the Canucks' lineup. Juulsen has one goal and six assists in 53 games this season.

Aman has played four straight for the Canucks but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. The 24-year-old Aman has seven points (3G / 4A) in 39 games this season.

Bains earned his second call-up of the season to Vancouver on Wednesday after scoring 14 goals, and 49 points in 53 games with Abbotsford (AHL).

Joshua hurt his hand in a fight on February 13th against Chicago and has not played since. The 27-year-old had been enjoying a breakout season in his fourth year in the NHL, with 13 goals, 26 points, 69 SOG, 46 PIMs and +16 plus/minus in 53 games before his injury.

In a surprise move on Wednesday, the Vancouver Canucks have placed Thatcher Demko on LTIR retroactive to March 9th for some cap relief. The 28-year-old is first eligible to return on April 6th, so he has the potential to return before the playoffs begin on April 20th. He was one of the league's top goaltenders when he went down with injury, noticeable by his 34-13-2 record, 2.47 GAA, .917 SV% and five shutouts.

Patera will get the nod for the tail-end of the Golden Knights' back-to-back on Tuesday after Logan Thompson secured a 2-1 win in St. Louis on Monday. Patera has made just five appearances for the Golden Knights this season, with his most recent being a 3-0 shutout loss in Colorado on January 10th. He owns a 1-3-0 record and a .901 SV% on the year. He draws a difficult matchup on Tuesday with the Golden Knights being +120 underdogs in Nashville.
