Canucks' Brock Boeser: Finds twine on power play
Boeser scored a power-play goal and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Boeser found the back of the net on a power play late in the second period to level the score at two apiece headed into the final stanza. The 29-year-old winger has been involved offensively to begin the new season, compiling two goals, five points and 12 shots on net across eight appearances. As one of Vancouver's middle-six wingers, his ceiling in fantasy is capped, but his role on the top power-play unit gives him a little extra flare in points-only leagues. Expect him to challenge the 50-point mark in the 2026-27 campaign.

Canucks' Max Sasson: Nets goal in loss
Sasson tallied a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Sasson sparked the Canucks' comeback effort Tuesday, tallying the team's first goal to cut the Islanders' lead in half. After compiling a pair of points on opening night, the 26-year-old center was held off the scoresheet for six contests prior to Tuesday's goal. Overall, he has two goals, three points, eight shots on net and 10 blocked shots across eight appearances. While his role seems to steadily be growing as Vancouver's fourth-line center, he's best left on waivers in fantasy until he can provide consistent offensive production.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Battles in narrow loss
Merilainen halted 33 of 36 shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
While the end result of Tuesday's contest didn't go his way, Merilainen continued to be a bright spot for the Canucks with his performance in net. He allowed just three goals against 36 shots on net, which helped Vancouver have a chance at winning throughout the entire contest. With Tuesday's contest in the books, the 24-year-old goalie now has a 1-1-0 record, a 2.40 GAA and a .926 save percentage across five appearances. He's proven to be the more-reliable option between the pipes for the Canucks compared to Kevin Lankinen, who has struggled mightily to open the 2026-27 campaign. If Merialinen's rise in production continues, he'll not only be on the fantasy radar in standard formats, but also one of the best waiver claims in recent memory. For now, he's a solid spot start in deep fantasy leagues with a bundle of upside.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Tending twine Tuesday
Merilainen will patrol the road paint in Tuesday's clash against the Islanders, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
Merilainen will return to action Tuesday after avoiding his first loss of the season in Saturday's clash, where he was off the ice having his skate repaired when Kevin Lankinen allowed the game-winning goal. Outside of Saturday's game, the 24-year-old Merilainen has fared well to begin the new season, where he has a 1-0-0 record, a 2.18 GAA and a .929 save percentage across four appearances. While the young netminder's fantasy stock is on the rise, he'll have to prove himself in a tough matchup with the Islanders on Tuesday. He's a spot start option for fantasy managers in a pinch, but he should be left on waivers for the time being in standard formats.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Buries goal in Sunday's loss
Pettersson scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
While the Canucks lost, Pettersson was a bright spot. The defenseman has two goals through seven games this season, though he hasn't supplied an assist. He has added eight shots on net, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating, which is impressive defensive work on a team that is struggling as a whole. Pettersson doesn't have widespread fantasy appeal, but he could help in banger leagues.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Scores again in loss
DeBrusk scored a goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
DeBrusk has earned three goals and an assist over three games since he missed two contests due to an illness. The 29-year-old winger is filling a top-line role with the Canucks, though the lines have shuffled frequently as the team is off to a 2-5-0 start to the season. DeBrusk has three goals, two assists, 16 shots on net, five hits and an even plus-minus rating. Given his significant power-play role, he's worth a look for fantasy managers who can afford to take a risk with a depth forward.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Tagged for six goals in loss
Lankinen stopped 19 of 25 shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
Lankinen took the loss in a brief relief appearance Saturday, but he was not good in his start Sunday. After winning his season debut, Lankinen has lost his last five outings, allowing six or more goals in three of those defeats. He's also been pulled twice. Lankinen won't be winning anyone over with a 6.88 GAA and a .779 save percentage through six appearances. If he continues to struggle, Leevi Merilainen could supplant him as the Canucks' top goalie until Thatcher Demko (hip) is ready to play. The Canucks' road trip continues against the Islanders on Tuesday.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: First off Sunday
Lankinen is expected to defend the road net against the Rangers on Sunday, according to Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
Lankinen has struggled mightily early in the 2026-27 campaign, posting a 1-4-0 record and surrendering 23 goals on 106 shots. The Rangers (4-2-0) have scored 16 goals in six outings to begin the season.

Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Collects three points
Cootes scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Abbotsford's 4-3 win over Colorado on Saturday.
Cootes has taken to the AHL quickly, earning two goals and two assists over four games to start the season. The 19-year-old forward is taking advantage of a change in the AHL-CHL agreement, which now allows 19-year-old first-rounders to move to the AHL. Cootes could be a call-up candidate if he continues to dominate for Abbotsford, but don't expect the rebuilding Canucks to rush his development.

Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Strikes for first goal of season
Karlsson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.
The 26-year-old opened the scoring early in the first period with a one-timer from the faceoff circle, but New Jersey dominated play the rest of the afternoon. Karlsson is coming off a solid first full season in the NHL in 2025-26, producing 15 goals and 35 points in 79 regular-season contests, and he's had a quick start to the current campaign with a goal and five points in five games.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Stuck with tough-luck loss in relief
Lankinen allowed one goal on three shots in relief of Leevi Merilainen to take the loss in a 4-1 defeat against the Devils on Saturday.
Merilainen got the start but left the ice with less than six minutes remaining in the first period for some skate repairs. During that brief time, Lankinen gave up what proved to be the game-winning goal by Jesper Boqvist. Getting stuck with the unlikely loss sums up how Lankinen's season has gone so far. In five appearances (four starts), he's 1-4-0 with an atrocious .783 save percentage. The 31-year-old will likely get the nod for Sunday's road game against the Rangers, but his hold on the top spot on the Vancouver depth chart appears increasingly tenuous.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Busy day in New Jersey
Merilainen stopped 31 of 34 shots for the Canucks during a 4-1 loss to the Devils on Saturday.
The 24-year-old netminder managed to avoid having the loss go on his record -- Merilainen left the ice late in the first period to get his skate repaired, and Kevin Lankinen wound up allowing the game-winning goal during his brief relief stint. All three pucks that got past Merilainen came on Devil power plays, and he made a number of big saves just to keep the game as close as it was. Through four appearances (two starts) this season, he boasts a .929 save percentage, compared to Lankinen's woeful .783 mark in five outings (four starts). Lankinen should get the start for Sunday's road contest against the Rangers, but Merilainen is making a strong case to take over the larger share of the workload in the crease for Vancouver.

Canucks' Leevi Merilainen: Guarding road goal
Merilainen is set to start on the road against the Devils on Saturday, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
Merilainen has a 1-0-0 record, 1.62 GAA and .941 save percentage across three appearances this season. That's in stark contrast to Vancouver's other goaltender, Kevin Lankinen, who is 1-3-0 with a 7.06 GAA and a .786 save percentage in four outings. With that in mind, there might be an opportunity here for Merilainen to earn a bigger share of Vancouver's starts. New Jersey has gotten off to a slow start offensively, averaging just 2.00 goals through three games.

Canucks' Anthony Romani: Pops off in Friday's win
Romani scored two goals and added an assist in Michigan State University's 6-2 win over Northern Michigan University.
Romani is off to a strong start this year with a three-point game. He had 14 goals and 14 assists over 37 appearances for the Spartans as a freshman last season. Romani's decent offense in college bodes well for his long-term development despite the Canucks scooping him up in the sixth round in 2024.
