  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Set to play Friday

    Blueger (lower body) will play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Oilers, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

    Blueger appears set to get some preseason action after missing a large portion of training camp. The 30-year-old forward is projected to play in a fourth-line role to begin 2024-25, though he could move up to the third line at times if injuries impact the Canucks' center depth.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Not ready to return

    Blueger (lower body) won't return versus the Flames on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Blueger has been skating in practices in a non-contact jersey. The 30-year-old forward's status for Opening Night remains up in the air, though he should be good to go if he's cleared to play in either of the last two preseason games for Vancouver.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Missing Friday's game

    Blueger (lower body) will not be an option for Friday's road exhibition contest against Seattle.

    Blueger is progressing in his recovery from lower-body surgery, but it remains unclear if the Latvia native will see any preseason action. The 30-year-old has been progressing while skating in a non-contact jersey. Blueger will play a key role in Vancouver's bottom-six forward group in 2024-25. The left-shot forward has collected 126 points in 336 career regular-season outings.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Not playing Tuesday

    Blueger (lower body) will not take part in Tuesday's preseason contest against Seattle, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.

    Blueger signed a two-year contract with the Canucks in June, and he'll be an important piece in the bottom six once he's ready to return. The left-shot forward notched 28 points in 68 games with Vancouver in 2023-24.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Skates Friday

    Blueger (lower body) skated with teammates while wearing a non-contact jersey Friday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

    Blueger is recovering from a lower-body surgery and missed Thursday's practice as a result. While there are still steps he'll need to take before playing in games, getting on the ice is a positive move in that direction. He had six goals and 28 points in 68 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Recovering from minor surgery

    Blueger is recovering from a lower-body surgery and won't participate in the Canucks' first day of on-ice practice Thursday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    It doesn't appear Blueger will miss much time while recovering, but he will be out of action to begin camp. He may be brought along slowly, but the 30-year-old center is a near lock to feature on a regular basis in a bottom-six role once he's healthy.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Staying with Vancouver

    Blueger signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.

    Blueger was set to be a free agent Monday, but instead he'll return to the Canucks on a new deal. The 29-year-old matched his career high with 28 points in 68 contests in 2023-24, playing primarily in a third-line role. Given Vancouver's ample center depth, that's likely where Blueger will slot for 2024-25, pending any other additions up front. He'll also feature prominently on the team's penalty kill.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Pockets helper in win

    Blueger generated an assist and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.

    Blueger set up Dakota Joshua's empty-netter to help secure the comeback win. Blueger matched his career high with 28 points over 68 appearances this season, playing mainly in a bottom-six role. The 29-year-old center added 97 shots on net, 98 hits and a plus-4 rating. He's mostly in the lineup for his defensive work, but Blueger can chip in his fair share of supporting offense as well.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Sends shorthanded assist

    Blueger logged a shorthanded assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

    The center set up Tyler Myers' tally in the first period. Blueger's last two points have come on the penalty kill, and four of his 28 points this season have been of the shorthanded variety. The 29-year-old center has added 97 shots on net, 95 hits and a plus-7 rating through 67 contests. Blueger is defensively responsible and a decent depth scorer, so he shouldn't have trouble sticking in the Canucks' lineup in the playoffs.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Buries shorthanded goal

    Blueger scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

    Blueger scored for the first time since Dec. 28, a span of 40 contests in which he had a solid 13 assists. The 29-year-old has remained a steady presence in the lineup as a defensive center.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Posts helper in loss

    Blueger notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and four PIM in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Stars.

    Blueger still hasn't scored in 2024, and he's been limited to four assists over the last 15 contests. Getting Dakota Joshua (upper body) back could help rekindle some magic for the Canucks' third line. The helper put Blueger at 26 points through 59 outings, two points shy of matching his career high. He's added 88 shots on net, 86 hits and a plus-9 rating.

The helper was Blueger's second over the last five games, but he hasn't scored a goal since Dec. 28, a span of 34 contests in which he has 12 helpers. The 29-year-old forward is up to 25 points, 83 shots on net, 83 hits and a plus-9 rating through 56 appearances this season, playing mainly in a bottom-six role.

    Blueger's helper snapped a six-game point drought for the center, who has yet to score a goal while earning 11 assists over 30 games in 2024. He set up Phil Di Giuseppe's tally late in the first period of Saturday's lopsided win. Blueger is up to 24 points -- four off his career high -- with 77 shots on net, 75 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 52 appearances in a bottom-six role.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Gathers helper

    Blueger has just two assists over his last 13 games after beginning 2024 with eight helpers in 10 outings. The 29-year-old remains locked in as the third-line center, though he's clearly missing Dakota Joshua (upper body).

    Blueger snapped a seven-game point drought with his helper on a Dakota Joshua goal in the third period. While he hasn't stood out like his linemates Joshua and Conor Garland, Blueger's been steady as the Canucks' third-line center. He's up to 22 points, 56 shots on net, 45 hits, 29 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 40 appearances this season, putting him on track for a career year.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Strong start to 2024

    Blueger stretched his point streak to three games with an assist in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

    Blueger has been solid offensively despite a middle-six role that emphasizes his penalty-killing responsibilities. He's added five goals, 11 assists and a plus-6 rating, which puts him at a career-best pace through 26 games. As it pertains to Vancouver's forwards, looking at marquee names like Elias Pettersson, J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser is low-hanging fruit, whereas Blueger is a more cost-effective option who still returns a fair amount of value.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Scores to extend streak

    Blueger tallied a goal on his only shot in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.

    Blueger got Vancouver on the board 25 seconds into the third period, one-timing a feed from Dakota Joshua past Samuel Ersson to cut the deficit to 3-1. The goal extended Blueger's improbable scoring streak to seven games -- he has three goals and six assists in that span. The 29-year-old center is up to five goals and 13 points through 22 games in a third-line role with the Canucks.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Riding six-game point streak

    Blueger managed two assists, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

    Blueger extended his point streak to six games, during which he has two goals and six helpers. The 29-year-old helped out on tallies by Nils Aman and Dakota Joshua. Blueger seems to have found a home on the Canucks' third line, and he's up to 12 points, 28 shots on net, 15 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 21 appearances. Blueger will need to continue to play well -- Pius Suter or Aman could be options to take his third-line role if he slumps.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Adds helper in win

    Blueger notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

    Blueger remained on the third line Thursday even with the return of Pius Suter (lower body). Those two forwards are likely to become interchangeable between the third and fourth lines. Blueger has done well with three points over his last five contests. For the season, he has five points, 22 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances.

  • Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Lights lamp Thursday

    Blueger scored a goal in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Wild.

    Blueger gave the Canucks some breathing room with a strong individual play set up by Conor Garland that led to the team's second goal. The 29-year-old Blueger has four points over his last nine contests while playing in a bottom-six role. He's solid defensively and not a pushover in the offensive zone, so he should continue to play a key depth role. He's at four points, 21 shots on net, 10 hits, nine blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 13 outings this season.
