Player News
Tyler Graovac has been recalled by Vancouver.
The Canucks also called up Guillaume Brisebois, Michael DiPietro and Kole Lind from the taxi squad under emergency conditions. Brogan Rafferty has been loaned to the taxi squad. Brisebois will play on Sunday night against Toronto, but coach Travis Green declined to say who would be in the lineup among the forward group.
The Vancouver Canucks have recalled Tyler Graovac from the minors.
Graovac had two goals and nine points in nine games with the Manitoba Moose of the AHL but suffered a concussion on March 3. He was placed on the Canucks taxi squad and while he has been cleared to travel with Vancouver, he still needs to go through a practice without any symptoms before he can get into the Vancouver lineup.
Tyler Graovac has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Vancouver Canucks.
Graovac scored two goals in eight outings with the Canucks last year. He also had two goals and one assist in 11 games with the AHL's Utica Comets during the 2019-20 campaign. The 27-year-old forward has nine goals and 11 points over 70 career NHL appearances.
The Canucks assigned Graovac to AHL Utica on Thursday.
Graovac has been sidelined since Dec. 1 with a lower-body injury, but his demotion to the minors suggests that's no longer an issue. The 26-year-old is a fringe NHLer and has only picked up two goals in eight appearances with the big club this campaign, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to keep tabs on his status.
