Canucks' Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Supplies power-play helper
Lekkerimaki notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
Lekkerimaki has played in five of the Canucks' last seven games. He was in the lineup Tuesday because Filip Chytil (concussion) and Conor Garland (undisclosed), leaving Vancouver with no other healthy forwards available. Lekkerimaki helped his own cause to keep playing by assisting on the first of Brock Boeser's two goals in the contest. For the season, Lekkerimaki has four points, 24 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 17 appearances, typically in a limited role at even strength. However, he may have some streaming and DFS appeal if he continues to play on the top power-play unit.

Canucks' Marcus Pettersson: Nabs assist in win
Pettersson provided an assist and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
Pettersson has three helpers over his last five contests. He's started to settle in nicely on the Canucks' second pairing, but he'll always be more productive in the defensive categories than the scoring ones. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to 22 points, 58 shots on net, 73 hits, 120 blocks and a minus-2 rating over 64 outings between the Canucks and the Penguins this season.

Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Earns 100th career assist
Blueger picked up an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
Blueger's helper was the 100th of his career, a milestone he reached in his 404th game. The 30-year-old has two goals and three helpers over his last eight outings, and he's seeing a larger role on the third line in the absence of Filip Chytil (concussion). Blueger is up to 22 points, 75 shots on net, 88 hits, 38 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 68 appearances. That's behind the pace of his 28-point regular season from 2023-24, but Blueger remains a key depth forward for the Canucks.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Draws helper in Tuesday's win
Sherwood notched an assist, two shots on goal and six hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
Sherwood has three helpers and 17 hits over his last three outings. The 29-year-old is playing on a new-look second line with Pius Suter and Jake DeBrusk while Filip Chytil (concussion) is out. Sherwood has found decent scoring success in a variety of spots in the lineup this year, as his high-energy, heavy-hitting style plays well in most situations. The winger has a career-high 28 points while adding 373 hits, 113 shots on net, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 64 appearances. Sherwood already has the fourth-most hits in a single season by any player since the stat was first kept in 2005-06, and he's 11 away from surpassing Jeremy Lauzon's record of 383 from the 2023-24 campaign.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Offers assist in win
DeBrusk notched an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
This was DeBrusk's second game in a row with a helper, and he's up to four points over nine outings in March. While it's not his best month of the campaign, the 28-year-old is starting to get his production going again. The winger is up to 39 points, 136 shots on net, 86 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating across 68 appearances. He's one point shy of matching his total from 80 regular-season contests with the Bruins last year, so it's safe to say his first year as a Canuck has been a modest success.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Stays warm with assist
Pettersson notched an assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
Pettersson's point streak is up to five games (three goals, four assists) after he helped out on a Nils Hoglander buzzer-beater at the end of the first period. The 26-year-old Pettersson is up to 43 points, 109 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 70 hits and a minus-11 rating through 62 appearances. Fantasy managers who stuck with the Swede all season should have him in the lineup now that he's surging on offense.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Notches two helpers early in win
Hughes posted two assists, including one on the power play, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
Hughes has five points (three on the power play) over four contests since returning from an undisclosed injury. He's also immediately resumed his workhorse role on the blue line as the Canucks' top defenseman. The 25-year-old is now at 65 points (25 on the power play), 150 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 55 appearances.

Canucks' Drew O'Connor: Opens scoring in win
O'Connor scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
O'Connor scored for the first time since Feb. 6 versus the Sharks. The 26-year-old has handled a middle-six role lately, but with just two assists over the 13 contests prior to Tuesday, he has not been reliable enough on offense to help most fantasy managers. For the season, he's earned nine goals, 21 points, 103 shots on net, 69 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 70 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Goal, assist in win
Hoglander scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
The tally was Hoglander's first since Feb. 26 versus the Kings. During his nine-game goal drought, the winger racked up five assists, and he added one more by helping out on a Brock Boeser tally in the second period of Tuesday's win. The 24-year-old Hoglander has six goals, 20 points, 75 shots on net, 69 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 64 appearances this season.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Joins 20-goal club
Suter scored two goals on five shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
Suter is currently filling in on the second line while Filip Chytil (concussion) is out of the lineup. The 28-year-old Suter has four goals and an assist over his last four outings, and Tuesday's performance got him to the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career. The Swiss forward has 34 points, 106 shots on net, 47 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 67 appearances. He's got a chance at the 40-point mark for the first time in his career, as long as he can continue to be productive.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Scores twice in three-point effort
Boeser scored two goals, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
Boeser struck on the power play in the first period and added an even-strength goal in the second. This performance snapped his 12-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 22, a span in which he was limited to three helpers. The winger also reached the 20-goal mark for the sixth time in his eight full campaigns. He's at 41 points (17 on the power play), 115 shots on net, 65 hits and a minus-24 rating through 61 appearances in 2024-25.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Secures win over Jets
Lankinen stopped 19 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.
The Canucks led 3-1 after one period, and that was enough for Lankinen to get the win. The 29-year-old had lost three of his previous four outings, though he hasn't faced more than 26 shots in his last five games. For the season, the Finnish netminder improved to 24-13-7 with a 2.53 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 44 appearances. The Canucks begin a six-game road trip in St. Louis on Thursday, and with no back-to-backs during their upcoming travels, Lankinen could end up seeing a heavy workload.

Canucks' Conor Garland: Not playing Tuesday
Garland (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Jets, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
The Canucks will be down one of their top wingers for at least one game. Garland four points, 10 shots on net and 14 PIM over his last five contests. Linus Karlsson was called up earlier Tuesday and will draw into the lineup to replace Garland. The Canucks' next game Thursday versus the Blues is the start of a six-game road trip -- it's not clear if Garland will accompany the team on the trip.

Canucks' Aku Koskenvuo: Signs with Vancouver
Koskenvuo signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks on Tuesday.
Koskenvuo completed his junior year with Harvard University, going 8-9-1 with a 2.81 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 20 games. The netminder was drafted 137th overall in the 2021 by the Canucks. The team did not announce if he would link up with AHL Abbotsford for the remainder of 2024-25, but it's safe to assume that the 22-year-old is at least a couple of years away from competing for NHL time.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: In goal Tuesday
Lankinen will be between the home pipes Tuesday against Winnipeg, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Lankinen turned in a serviceable performance in a 3-1 loss to Utah on Sunday but received minimal offensive support. It's been an up-and-down month for the Finnish netminder -- Lankinen is 3-4-0 with an .886 save percentage and a 2.72 GAA over seven outings in March. The Jets have won three consecutive contests and sit third in the NHL with 3.47 goals per game in 2024-25. Lankinen surrendered six goals on 33 shots during his first career appearance against Winnipeg on Jan. 14.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Will travel on upcoming road trip
Demko (lower body) will travel with Vancouver on its upcoming six-game road trip, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports Tuesday.
Demko has been on injured reserve since Feb. 23 after suffering his lower-body injury against Toronto on Feb. 8. The Canucks' road trip starts Thursday in St. Louis and concludes in Winnipeg on March 30, but it's not yet known if Demko will be available for any of those contests. Arturs Silovs will continue to operate as the No. 2 goaltender behind Kevin Lankinen while Demko works his way back to full health.

Canucks' Conor Garland: Status in question Tuesday
Garland (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's home meeting with the Jets, per Harman Dayal of The Athletic.
Garland has yet to miss a game this season. The right-shot winger has produced 17 goals and 41 points over 67 appearances this season. Linus Karlsson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday, so he'll most likely fill a bottom-six role versus Winnipeg if Garland is unavailable, though the Canucks could also decide to roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen, with Victor Mancini playing in that scenario.

Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Summoned from Abbotsford
Karlsson was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on an emergency basis Tuesday.
Karlsson will rejoin the big club after inking a one-year, $775,000 contract extension Friday. The right-shot forward has just one goal and no assists across nine outings with Vancouver in 2024-25. Filip Chytil is sidelined with a concussion and Conor Garland (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Jets, so Karlsson has a chance to draw into the lineup.
