Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Sent to AHL
Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.
Tolopilo was 2-1-0 with a 2.74 GAA and a .911 save percentage across four NHL appearances this season. The Canucks will get Thatcher Demko back in net Thursday for the first time in 12 contests.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Steady in relief
Tolopilo stopped all six shots he faced in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Red Wings.
Tolopilo played the third period, and Detroit's only goal in that frame went into an empty net. Through four appearances this season, Tolopilo has stopped 92 of 101 shots, good for a .911 save percentage. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) likely returning to action Thursday versus the Sabres, Tolopilo is probably going to be demoted to AHL Abbotsford, but he has shown well during this stint in the NHL even while the team in front of him has struggled.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Steps up in win
Tolopilo stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
Tolopilo was sharp in this outing and got enough help from his teammates to come away with the win. He allowed the first and last goals in the game, but the Canucks had the four in the middle. Tolopilo is 2-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 95 shots over his first three outings this season. He'll likely be with the team until Thatcher Demko (lower body) is healthy again, which may not take much longer, as Demko is targeting Thursday's game versus the Sabres for his return.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Getting start Saturday
Tolopilo will start at home versus the Wild on Saturday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Tolopilo will start the second half of a back-to-back after Kevin Lankinen was in goal for a 4-1 loss to the Mammoth on Friday. This will be a tough task for Tolopilo, who may struggle to get goal support. The Wild have scored 13 goals over their last six games, but they are 4-1-1 in that span.

Tolopilo was recalled from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions Thursday.
Tolopilo was designated as non-roster Monday while tending to a personal matter, but he was activated Wednesday and will join the NHL club a day later.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Lands on non-roster list
Tolopilo (personal) was given non-roster status Monday.
In a corresponding move, Vancouver recalled Jiri Patera from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions. It's unclear when Tolopilo will be available to return to the lineup.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Travels home Monday
Tolopilo is headed back to Vancouver for personal reasons and will miss Tuesday's road game versus Colorado, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.
With Tolopilo traveling home for the birth of his child, the Canucks recalled Jiri Patera from the minors, presumably to serve as the No. 2 option behind Kevin Lankinen. The 25-year-old Tolopilo has allowed seven goals on 65 shots while going 1-1-0 over his two NHL games this season. Once Thatcher Demko (lower body) is cleared to play, Tolopilo figures to head back to AHL Abbotsford.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Allows three goals in loss
Tolopilo stopped 21 of 24 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.
Tolopilo suffered the first defeat of his NHL career, though he still had a decent performance. The Canucks are playing on a back-to-back Saturday, so it's uncertain if the 25-year-old will remain between the pipes. Right now, the Canucks are without Thatcher Demko (lower body) and Kevin Lankinen (personal), though there's a scenario in which Lankinen might return to the lineup to face Los Angeles.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Guarding road crease
Tolopilo is set to start on the road against San Jose on Friday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Tolopilo is set to make his second NHL start of the 2025-26 campaign after turning aside 37 of 41 shots en route to a 5-4 win over Anaheim on Wednesday. He's getting this opportunity because Vancouver is without Thatcher Demko (lower body) and Kevin Lankinen (personal). San Jose is tied for 24th in goals per game with 2.79.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Escapes Anaheim with win
Tolopilo stopped 37 of 41 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.
It wasn't easy or pretty, but Tolopilo was just good enough for the Canucks to get the win. He made his first NHL start of the season, and he will probably see more action until Thatcher Demko (lower body) or Kevin Lankinen (personal) are unavailable. Tolopilo should get at least one more start during Vancouver's road trip, either in San Jose on Friday or in Los Angeles on Saturday. Jiri Patera will likely get the other start in that back-to-back set.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Guarding road goal
Tolopilo is set to start on the road against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Tolopilo has a 3.35 GAA and a .901 save percentage in five appearances with AHL Abbotsford in 2025-26. He hasn't played for the Canucks yet this season. Tolopilo is getting this opportunity because Vancouver is without Kevin Lankinen (personal) and Thatcher Demko (lower body). The Ducks are 14-7-1 and rank second in goals per game with 3.59, so they're a particularly challenging adversary.

He also made two regular-season NHL appearances with Vancouver in April last campaign, stopping 23 of 26 shots for a 1-1-0 record.

Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Takes loss in relief
Tolopilo allowed two goals on eight shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen (undisclosed) in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Tolopilo played the third period after Lankinen exited the game with a muscle strain. This was Tolopilo's second NHL appearance and his first loss -- he went 1-1-0 with three goals allowed on 24 shots over the last two games of the season. The 25-year-old goalie is likely to be reassigned to AHL Abbotsford to join that team's playoff run. When both Thatcher Demko and Lankinen are healthy, Tolopilo has no obvious path to NHL playing time.

Tolopilo stopped 15 of 16 shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.
Tolopilo finally made his NHL debut and looked solid between the posts, though he didn't have a lot of work overall. The 25-year-old will be Kevin Lankinen's backup in the final game of the regular season against the Golden Knights on Wednesday due to the absence of Thatcher Demko, who will miss the rest of the season due to an illness.

Tolopilo will tend the twine at home versus San Jose on Monday, Randip Janda of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Tolopilo will make his first NHL start thanks to the absence of Thatcher Demko (illness), who was ruled out for the rest of the season. In the minors, the 25-year-old Tolopilo is sporting an 18-14-2 record to go with a .901 save percentage. If he performs well Monday, it's possible the Canucks go back to Tolopilo in the season finale against Vegas on Wednesday.
