Canucks' Thatcher Demko: Still unavailable
Demko (knee) won't be available for the start of Vancouver's second-round series against Edmonton, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Demko, who is considered week-to-week, sat out the final five contests of the Canucks' first-round series versus Nashville. It remains unclear when he will be available to return. During Demko's absence, Casey DeSmith and Arturs Silovs have shared time between the pipes. The 23-year-old Silovs could make his fourth straight start in Game 1 versus the Oilers on Wednesday.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Snags assist Friday
Pettersson logged an assist in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.
Pettersson failed to score a goal in the first round, and he's now gone nine contests without a tally. He showed some life with an assist in three of the last four games, but the Canucks will hope for a lot more from one of their top players entering a more difficult second-round matchup with the Oilers. In addition to the three assists, Pettersson had eight shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over six appearances in the first round.

Canucks' Brock Boeser: Earns helper in Game 6 win
Boeser logged an assist, three shots on goal and four PIM in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.
Boeser was productive in the first round, picking up four goals, two assists, 16 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over six contests, highlighted by his hat trick in Game 4. The winger set up Pius Suter for the lone tally in Game 6 as well. Boeser will continue to be a key part of the Canucks' offense heading into a second-round matchup with the Oilers that could lead to high-scoring clashes.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Scores in Friday's win
Suter scored a goal on five shots in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.
Suter's goal with 1:39 left in the third period was the only goal in the contest. That was also the series-clinching tally, setting up the Canucks for a second-round matchup with the Oilers. Suter scored twice on 14 shots and added six hits over six first-round appearances while filling a middle-six role. The 27-year-old is well regarded as a defensive forward, and he may be deployed in that nature frequently in the next round against a high-powered offense.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Clinches series with shutout
Silovs posted a 28-save shutout in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.
Silovs was dialed in from the start, earning his first NHL shutout to secure a 4-2 series win for the Canucks. The 23-year-old has allowed just five goals on 80 shots over three appearances since taking over for Casey DeSmith in goal beginning with Game 4. If Silovs continues to operate as the starter in the second round, he'll find a much more challenging task ahead versus the Oilers.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Slated to start
Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice at morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll tend the twine for Game 6 on Friday on the road against the Predators.
Silovs will make his third straight appearance in goal for the Canucks, having gone 1-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .904 save percentage in his previous two outings. Despite having just 11 games of NHL experience, coach Rick Tocchet will stick with the 23-year-old Silovs ahead of Casey DeSmith for the time being.

Canucks' Vasily Podkolzin: Reassigned to minors
Podkolzin was sent down to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
Podkolzin figures to suit up with the minor-league club for its Calder Cup matchup with AHL Ontario on Wednesday before likely being recalled ahead of Vancouver's Game 6 clash with the Predators on Friday.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Bags apple in loss
Hughes posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Predators in Game 5.
Hughes is up to five assists, eight shots on net and six blocked shots over five playoff contests. He set up Nikita Zadorov for the opening goal in the third period, though the Canucks couldn't hold that narrow lead. Hughes' play hasn't been as consistent in the playoffs when compared to the regular season, but he's still seeing a massive workload on the top pairing.

Canucks' Nikita Zadorov: Tallies again in Game 5
Zadorov scored a goal, added two PIM and logged four hits in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Predators in Game 5.
For the second time in five playoff games, Zadorov had the Canucks' lone goal in a loss. The defenseman has three points, eight shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-1 rating so far in the postseason. He remains on the third pairing on paper, but he's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in each of the last three games -- it appears he's earned extra responsibility from head coach Rick Tocchet.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Can't close out series
Silovs stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Predators in Game 5.
Silovs gave up goals to Roman Josi and Alexandre Carrier in the third period of a low-scoring loss. With five goals allowed on 52 shots, Silovs has been solid in his two playoff appearances. The 23-year-old may still end up ceding the crease back to Casey DeSmith, who served as backup Tuesday after missing Sunday's Game 4 with a lower-body injury. The Canucks will get their second chance to advance to the second round in Friday's Game 6 in Nashville.

Canucks' Arturs Silovs: Receives Game 5 start
Silovs will guard the home goal versus the Predators on Tuesday in Game 5, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Silovs will get the nod after stopping 27 of 30 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Predators on Sunday. The 23-year-old will start over Casey DeSmith, who has recovered from a lower-body injury enough to be able to serve as the backup. A win Tuesday for the Canucks will send them to the second round.

Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Available to play
DeSmith (lower body) will return to the lineup in Tuesday's Game 5 home matchup versus Nashville, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Per Batchelor, the starting goaltender for the Canucks will be a game-time decision. Due to the absences of DeSmith and Thatcher Demko (knee), Arturs Silovs made his NHL playoff debut in Game 4, stopping 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Predators. If DeSmith doesn't start Tuesday, Silovs will probably be between the pipes.

Canucks' Carson Soucy: Gets on scoresheet with assist
Soucy notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.
The helper was Soucy's first point in 23 games since he returned from a hand injury in early March. The 29-year-old defenseman has been a steady presence in the lineup since his return, but he plays a physical game in a bottom-four role that hasn't led to much room for scoring. Soucy had a mediocre six points with 29 shots on net, 65 hits and 64 blocked shots over 40 regular-season appearances.

Canucks' Dakota Joshua: Provides helper Sunday
Joshua notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.
Joshua started the playoffs with a three-point effort in Game 1, but his offense went cold until he helped out on Elias Lindholm's game-winning tally Sunday. In addition to his four points, Joshua has added 17 hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four postseason appearances. He remains a physical presence on the Canucks' third line, though he's also proven capable of chipping in with depth scoring.
