Joshua has not played since January 3rd, missing 10 games with a lower-body injury, but could return to the lineup on Monday against the St. Louis Blues. The 28-year-old Joshua has four points (2G / 2A), 20 penalty minutes, and 83 hits in 24 games this season.

Karlsson has performed well for Abbotsford this season, scoring 12 goals and adding six assists in 17 AHL games. He's appeared in just two NHL games this year and is yet to register a point.

It's unclear at this point whether Hoglander is battling an undisclosed injury or is simply a healthy scratch. Linus Karlsson will draw into the lineup in his place.

The Canucks are coming off a disappointing 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres and will roll with Demko between the pipes on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers. Demko saved 13 of 15 shots (.867 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers less than a week ago. The 29-year-old Demko has a 3.23 GAA and .873 SV% in 11 appearances this season (3-4-3). The Canucks enter Thursday's contest as +157 road underdogs against an Oilers club without Connor McDavid (suspension) for a second consecutive game.

Juulsen is averaging 16:34 time-on-ice and has zero points, a -11 plus/minus, 57 blocks, and 89 hits in 32 games this season. The Canucks recalled defenceman Elias Pettersson from Abbotsford (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Let the confusion begin. Pettersson was selected in the third round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and is yet to make his NHL debut. The 20-year-old blue-liner has one goal and 12 assists in 36 AHL games this season. Defenceman Noah Juulsen was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday in a corresponding move.

Karlsson has performed well for Abbotsford this season, scoring 12 goals and adding six assists in 17 AHL games. He's appeared in just two NHL games this year and is yet to register a point.

Arturs Silovs served as Thatcher Demko's backup in Vancouver's most recent game as Lankinen was out with an illness. Lankinen has a 2.63 GAA and .903 SV% in 30 games this season (16-8-6) and has continued to be busy between the pipes since Demko returned from an injury.

Silovs was recalled under emergency conditions on Tuesday but will return to the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Silovs has split time between the NHL and AHL this season but has been more successful in Abbotsford, posting a 2.53 GAA and .906 SV% in eight games (5-3-0).

Kevin Lankinen is reportedly dealing with an illness, so Silovs has been recalled, presumably to serve as Thatcher Demko's backup vs. the Sabres.

Vancouver is coming off an impressive 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers, where Demko only had to save 13 of 15 shots (.867 SV%). The 29-year-old Demko will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres and look to build on his 3.24 GAA and .871 SV% through 10 appearances (3-3-3). The Canucks enter Tuesday's contest as -170 home favorites against a Sabres team that lost 6-4 to the Seattle Kraken last night.

Vancouver is coming off an impressive 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers, where Demko only had to save 13 of 15 shots (.867 SV%). The 29-year-old Demko will likely return to the crease on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres and look to build on his 3.24 GAA and .871 SV% through 10 appearances (3-3-3). The Canucks enter Tuesday's contest as -170 home favorites against a Sabres team that lost 6-4 to the Seattle Kraken last night.

Myers will miss the next three games after connecting with a high cross-check on Evan Bouchard during the melee at the end of the Oilers and Canucks game on Saturday. He will be eligible to return for Vancouver's game in St. Louis on January 27th.
