Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Nets power-play goal
Joshua scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.
The goal was Joshua's first point since Dec. 18. He was held off the scoresheet for 11 contests and missed another 11 games due to a leg injury in that span. The 28-year-old has gotten a look with the second power-play unit recently, which could help him get his offense on track. For the season, Joshua has three goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 96 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 29 appearances.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Not ready to return
Joshua (leg) will not be available for Monday's road matchup against the Blues, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Joshua was a game-time decision heading into Monday's game, so while he won't suit up in St. Louis, the 28-year-old could be an option for Wednesday's contest in Nashville. Joshua hasn't played since Jan. 3 versus the Predators. Prior to his injury, the Michigan native chipped in two goals and two helpers over 24 appearances.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Game-time call against Blues
Joshua (leg) will be a game-time decision versus St. Louis on Monday, per Jeff Paterson of Canucks Army.
Joshua has been out of the lineup since Jan. 6 against the Canadiens, a stretch of 10 games on injured reserve due to his leg injury. Prior to his absence, the bottom-six winger was mired in a seven-game point drought dating back to Dec. 19 versus Vegas. Still, once given the all-clear, Joshua should step back into the lineup, likely at the expense of Max Sasson or Linus Karlsson.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Opens scoring Tuesday
Joshua scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.
Joshua's first goal of the season came against his former team. The 28-year-old has held down a middle-six role over the last month, picking up three points, four shots on net, 13 PIM and 47 hits over 13 contests. He'll need to up his shot volume to have more success, but he can still make an impact with physical play.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Posts helper in overtime win
Joshua logged an assist and five hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Joshua has a pair of helpers over nine games this season. The 28-year-old winger has also brought plenty of physicality with at least two hits in every game, totaling 38 overall. He's held onto a middle-six role and will likely continue to see steady playing time, though with just two shots on net so far, he's not pushing enough on offense to bolster his fantasy value.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Garners first helper of season
Joshua notched an assist, five hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
The helper was Joshua's first point over four contests since he recovered from testicular cancer surgery. The 28-year-old winger has done what he does best since his return, doling out 14 hits. He can chip in some depth scoring as well after a 32-point campaign in 2023-24, but it'll be hits and PIM that supplement his production for fantasy purposes.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Making season debut versus Isles
Joshua (cancer) will make his 2024-25 season debut against the Islanders on Thursday, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.
Joshua looks set to take on a fourth-line role but could work his way up the lineup as he gets back to full speed. Given his lengthy stint on the sidelines, the winger will likely need some time to readjust but could still challenge for the 30-point mark after hitting that threshold for the first time last year.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Not ready to return
Joshua (groin) won't play Thursday versus LA, per Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet.
Joshua also didn't practice Wednesday, but coach Rick Tocchet said the 28-year-old hasn't suffered a setback. Instead, the Canucks are simply being cautious with Joshua, who hasn't played in 2024-25. It remains to be seen when Joshua might return to the lineup, but when he is ready, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six role.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Returns to practice
Joshua (groin) practiced in a non-contact jersey Saturday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports.
While Joshua is still a ways off from game action, it's an incredibly positive sign to see the winger practicing after he underwent surgery for testicular cancer in the offseason. Joshua logged 18 goals and 32 points, both career highs, in 63 games during the 2023-24 regular season.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Traveling with team
Joshua (groin) will join the Canucks on their upcoming four-game road trip and could start skating during that time, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports Tuesday.
While Joshua's return to the ice will certainly be a significant step in the right direction, he will likely have several more hurdles to clear, including absorbing contact in practice. Once the winger is ready to play, he should be in contention for a second-line role, though Daniel Sprong and Conor Garland will likely also have something to say about that.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Placed on injured non-roster
Joshua (testicular cancer) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Resumes skating
Joshua (testicular cancer) has resumed skating and is likely a few weeks away from returning, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports Monday.
Joshua underwent surgery for testicular cancer in September, and the Canucks have been hopeful that he'll be able to return to action this season. It's encouraging that he's been back on the ice recently, but he'll likely need to ramp up before he's in the mix to return to game action. The 28-year-old made 63 regular-season appearances for Vancouver last year and logged 18 goals and 32 points while averaging 14:23 of ice time.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Diagnosed with testicular cancer
Joshua successfully underwent surgery for testicular cancer but won't be ready for the start of training camp, per the Canucks' release Tuesday.
Joshua's statement acknowledged that he wouldn't be ready for training camp but was still hoping to return to action this season. Given the uncertainty regarding his timeline, the winger figures to start the year on long-term injured reserve. Without Joshua in the mix for a roster spot Opening Night, camp invitee Sammy Blais could earn himself a contract with a strong showing.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Inks four-year deal
Joshua agreed to terms on a four-year, $13 million contract with Vancouver on Thursday.
Joshua is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in goals (18), assists (14) and shots (84) despite playing in just 63 regular-season games. If he can stay healthy in 2024-25, the 28-year-old winger should be capable of topping both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds. Given his offensive upside, Joshua could be in the mix for power-play minutes during the campaign, a role that would further bolster his fantasy value.
