Silovs stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 4-1 preseason win over the Oilers.
Silovs limited the damage to an Evan Bouchard goal in the second period. Over three preseason appearances, Silovs has gone 2-1-0 with six goals allowed on 72 shots. The 23-year-old netminder is likely to open the season in a timeshare with Kevin Lankinen in Vancouver's crease. Silovs will need to play well to keep his spot once Thatcher Demko (knee) is cleared to play -- Silovs is waivers-exempt and can easily be shuttled to AHL Abbotsford if he doesn't give the Canucks a chance to compete in his starts.
