Canucks' David Kampf: Inks one-year deal
Kampf signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Vancouver on Saturday.
Kampf had the final two seasons of his four-year, $9.6 million contract with the Maple Leafs mutually terminated Friday. The 30-year-old had one assist in four appearances with AHL Toronto in 2025-26 before becoming an unrestricted free agent. The Maple Leafs couldn't find a trade partner for him, but Kampf didn't have to wait long to sign a new deal. Kampf will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity for the Canucks, but he might spend some time practicing with Vancouver before drawing into the lineup.

Canucks' Kieren Dervin: Two-point effort Friday
Dervin scored a goal and added an assist in OHL Kingston's 4-3 overtime win over Niagara on Friday.
Dervin was steady early in the season, but he had been limited to just two helpers over his previous five outings before Friday's stronger performance. The 18-year-old Canucks' prospect is at eight goals and 10 assists through 18 contests, but he can elevate his game a little more than he's shown so far. Dervin is expected to play just this one full season in the OHL before making the leap to Penn State next year.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Nets goal Friday
Sasson scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Sasson ended a 10-game point drought with the first-period tally. The Canucks would likely have turned to someone else to center the fourth line if they were healthier, but that won't be an option until one or both of Teddy Blueger (undisclosed) and Filip Chytil (upper body) are able to return to action. Sasson has four goals, 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, nine hits and an even plus-minus rating over 16 appearances so far in 2025-26.

Canucks' Conor Garland: Tallies on power play
Garland scored a power-play goal and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Garland has been limited to two goals over five games since returning from an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old winger gave the Canucks a 3-2 lead in the second period, but they weren't able to build on it. He's up to five goals, 13 points (five on the power play), 40 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 16 appearances. Garland will continue to see top-six minutes and power-play time, and he's shooting a reasonable 12.5 percent, so his pace looks sustainable for the long run.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Makes impact in overtime loss
Pettersson scored a shorthanded goal, dished a power-play assist, added two hits and blocked three shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Pettersson put an end to an eight-game goal drought with his shortie. He's earned seven points over his last nine outings, though that span includes a trio of multi-point performances. The 27-year-old is up to four goals, 15 points (six on the power play), 30 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 22 hits and a minus-3 rating over 19 contests. Pettersson will continues to see top-line usage as the most talented center on a roster that's painfully thin down the middle.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Yields four goals in overtime loss
Lankinen allowed four goals on 38 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
The Canucks took a 3-2 lead with a Conor Garland power-play goal early in the second period, but Lankinen couldn't make it stand. The 30-year-old Lankinen is now 1-2-2 with 17 goals allowed over his last five games. Overall, he has a 3-5-2 record with a 3.58 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 10 appearances. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) set to miss another couple of weeks at a minimum, playing time is likely to remain steady for Lankinen, but fantasy managers may want to avoid him in tough matchups. The Canucks will wrap up this road trip with a back-to-back, as they visit the Lightning on Sunday and the Panthers on Monday.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Pulled by concussion spotter
Hronek was removed from Friday's game versus the Hurricanes by the concussion spotter, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
It's unclear if Hronek has suffered a concussion, as the results of his evaluation were not revealed after the contest. He took an elbow to the head from Andrei Svechnikov late in the game. Hronek's status for Sunday's game versus the Lightning will be in doubt until more information is available.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Out of lineup Friday
Hughes (undisclosed) won't play Friday versus the Hurricanes, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Hughes will miss a game after initially being listed as a game-time decision. It's unclear if this issue is related to the lower-body injury that cost him four contests earlier in the season. The defenseman's absence will open up more power-play time for Filip Hronek, while Victor Mancini (upper body) was activated from injured reserve earlier Friday and could be an option to play.

Canucks' Victor Mancini: Off injured reserve
Mancini (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Friday.
Mancini hasn't played since Oct. 26 due to the injury. He has no points, three shots, six hits and five blocks in five appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. Mancini might draw back into the lineup now that he's available, potentially at the expense of Tom Willander, but it's also possible that Mancini will be a healthy scratch for Friday's game against Carolina.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Placed on injured reserve
Demko (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Demko sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Jets, and the issue is expected to sideline him for approximately 2-3 weeks, per hockey insider Frank Seravalli. Kevin Lankinen will presumably serve as the Canucks' primary netminder in Demko's absence.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Game-time call Friday
Hughes (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus the Hurricanes on Friday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Hughes is currently stuck in a 10-game goal drought but has racked up six helpers in his last four outings, including a pair with the man advantage. If the blueliner does miss out against the Canes, it would likely mean increased ice time for Tom Willander, who could also be a candidate to move up to the No. 1 power-play unit.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tending twine against Carolina
Lankinen will draw the road start against Carolina on Friday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Lankinen has seen increased playing time recently while Thatcher Demko (lower body) has been hampered by injuries. Lankinen has had mixed results over his last four appearances, going 1-2-1 with a 3.61 GAA and .884 save percentage during that time. He'll draw the start for the fourth time in five games Friday but will face a tough test against the Hurricanes, who rank third in the league with 3.69 goals per game.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Questionable for Friday
Hughes (undisclosed) is day-to-day and questionable for Friday's clash in Carolina, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports Thursday.
Hughes has a goal, 13 points, two PIM, one hit and 14 blocks in 14 outings in 2025-26. If he can't play Friday, then Pierre-Olivier Joseph will probably draw into the lineup, and defenseman Elias Pettersson will probably see an increase in his workload to help fill in the void.

Canucks' Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Activated and demoted
Lekkerimaki (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
Lekkerimaki will have to get back up to speed with the minor-league team after missing 12 straight games due to the injury. If he can perform well at Abbotsford, the 21-year-old could receive a call-up again later in the campaign.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Being evaluated
Demko (lower body) is expected to be evaluated Wednesday and Thursday before a timetable for his recovery will be determined, per Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK.
Demko's current injury is a new issue that's unrelated to past injuries, including the undisclosed problem that resulted in him skipping Saturday's and Sunday's games against Columbus and Colorado, respectively. Assuming Demko misses time, Kevin Lankinen will probably get the bulk of the starts during Demko's absence, but Jiri Patera might end up getting into some games as well.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Dishes two assists
Pettersson logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
Pettersson's goal drought is up to eight games, but he has managed five assists in that span. The top-line center has earned two of those helpers with a man advantage. The Canucks' injury-riddled start to the season likely hasn't helped Pettersson's production much. He's at 13 points (five on the power play) with 29 shots on net, 20 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 18 appearances. That's a pace not too dissimilar from the one he set when he was limited to 45 points in 64 outings in 2024-25, which is discouraging for fantasy managers wanting a bounce-back campaign.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Assists on all three goals in loss
Hughes logged three assists, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
Hughes played a part in all three of the Canucks' goals in this loss. The 26-year-old has racked up six helpers over his last four games after being held scoreless Nov. 3 versus the Predators in his return from a lower-body injury. When healthy, he has played at his usual elite level, racking up one goal, 12 helpers, 40 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 14 appearances. Hughes will continue to see massive minutes on the Canucks' blue line, which is still dealing with a couple of injuries to Derek Forbort (undisclosed) and Victor Mancini (upper body).
