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).

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Strikes on power play in loss
DeBrusk scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
DeBrusk has scored in three straight games and four of the last five. Three of his four goals in that span have come on the power play, where his spot on the top unit is starting to pay off. The winger is up to six tallies, eight points, 53 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-2 rating across 18 appearances. While it's good to see him get more offense, DeBrusk carries a decent amount of risk in a third-line role at even strength.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Pots another goal
Sherwood scored a goal on four shots and added eight hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
Sherwood has scored in back-to-back games, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in three straight contests. The 30-year-old winger's eight hits Tuesday marked a season high, though he's no stranger to lofty hit totals after setting the single-season record (462) last year. Sherwood has 11 goals, one assist, 37 shots, 79 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 18 appearances this season. He's been on the second line over the last few games, which should offer him more chances to generate offense.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Buries goal in loss
Boeser scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
Boeser has four goals and two assists over his last five games. His tally Tuesday brought the Canucks within one goal with 1:30 left in the third period, but they couldn't tie the game. The veteran winger is up to eight goals, 12 points, 39 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-3 rating across 16 outings in a top-six role.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Takes loss in relief outing
Lankinen stopped 20 of 21 shots in relief of Thatcher Demko (lower body) in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
The Canucks were able to cover Demko's damage from the first period, leaving Lankinen to take the loss despite a sharp performance. The injury to Demko is unrelated to his previous undisclosed issue that kept him out of action over this past weekend. It's likely Lankinen will retake control of the No. 1 job between the pipes, and Jiri Patera will be his backup as long as Demko is out. Lankinen is now 3-5-1 with a 3.57 GAA and an .885 save percentage over nine appearances. The Canucks begin a three-game road trip versus the Hurricanes on Friday.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Dealing with new lower-body issue
Demko left Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury that is considered unrelated to the issue that caused him to take maintenance days over the weekend, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Demko's injury being a new one isn't exactly a comforting revelation for fantasy managers. Head coach Adam Foote reiterated that Demko was ready to play Tuesday, but the new injury could be a problem. For now, look for the Canucks to turn to Kevin Lankinen and Jiri Patera to handle the goaltending until Demko is healthy.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Departs Tuesday's game
Demko (undisclosed) will not finish Tuesday's game versus the Jets.
Demko was in his return from missing two games over the weekend due to the undisclosed issue. Jiri Patera is still with the Canucks and will likely remain with the team if Demko is forced to miss more time. Prior to his exit, Demko allowed three goals on eight shots. His status is likely to be updated ahead of the Canucks' three-game road trip, which begins in Raleigh on Friday against the Hurricanes.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Back in action Tuesday
Demko (undisclosed) is scheduled to serve as the starting goaltender for Tuesday's home matchup against the Jets, per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.
Demko will return to the crease after a short-term absence due to an undisclosed injury. The 2014 second-round pick has a 5-4-0 record, 2.57 GAA and .912 save percentage over nine outings this season. The Jets have faltered lately, losing three consecutive games while netting a total of just two goals during their road trip out west. Demko is 6-7-0 with a .925 save percentage and a 2.35 GAA across 13 career appearances versus Winnipeg.

Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Lights lamp Sunday
Karlsson scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
The goal was Karlsson's first of the year. He has two points over five contests in November and four points through 14 outings overall. The 25-year-old forward has added 17 shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating from his fourth-line role. Karlsson has been with the big club all season and should continue to find time as a depth forward while the team navigates a tough stretch of injuries.

Canucks' Drew O'Connor: Buries shorthanded tally
O'Connor scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
O'Connor has four goals and three assists over his last six outings. The 27-year-old has scored all four of his goals in November after a lackluster start to the season. He's up to eight points, 22 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while featuring in a middle-six role. O'Connor's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats, but he's not going to offer standout production in any one area.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Nets power-play marker
DeBrusk scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
DeBrusk has three goals, including two on the power play, over his last four games. He's racked up 15 shots on net in that span to pick up the pace on offense. Overall, the winger has five tallies, two helpers, 51 shots, 14 hits and a minus-1 rating across 17 appearances while featuring primarily in a middle-six role. Four of his five goals have come with the man advantage.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood: Scores in overtime loss
Sherwood scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Sherwood snapped a four-game goal drought -- his longest of the season -- with an unassisted tally in the second period. The veteran winger has a goal and an assist over his last two games. He was limited to a season-low one hit Sunday, but he remains a strong power forward with 10 goals, one assist, 71 hits, 33 shots on net and a minus-3 rating across 17 appearances.

Canucks' Kevin Lankinen: Handed overtime loss
Lankinen stopped 27 of 32 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Starting on consecutive days, Lankinen had his hands full with a tough opponent. The 30-year-old netminder never received a lead to protect, though he did a decent job of making sure the deficit never got larger than two goals. He's now 3-4-1 with a 3.71 GAA and an .879 save percentage over eight starts. Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is likely to resume No. 1 goalie duties once healthy, but it's unclear when that will happen. In the meantime, Lankinen appears set for most of the starts, as the Canucks appear reluctant to get Jiri Patera involved in anything more than an emergency capacity. The Canucks host the Jets on Tuesday before embarking on a three-game road trip that starts Friday in Raleigh against the Hurricanes.

Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Not available against Colorado
Demko (undisclosed) won't be an option for Sunday's home matchup versus the Avalanche, according to Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.
Although Demko will remain sidelined Sunday, he will potentially be available for Tuesday's home game against the Jets, per Kuzma. Kevin Lankinen is set to start again Sunday after picking up a win over Columbus on Saturday, while Jiri Patera will be the backup against Colorado. Demko last played Monday, stopping 25 of 29 shots during a 5-4 win in Nashville.
