Date News Advice
April 8, 2026 Tolopilo stopped 26 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights. - Tolopilo took his fifth straight loss, but this was easily his best performance during the skid. However, he got beat by the Golden Knights' depth players, as the goals against him were scored by Brayden McNabb and Cole Smith. Tolopilo is down to 5-10-2 with a 3.63 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Kevin Lankinen (upper body) is currently unavailable, and if he's shut down for the year, Tolopilo should see the majority of the remaining starts for the Canucks. Their next game is Thursday in Los Angeles, the first of three contests in four days. None
April 7, 2026 Tolopilo will guard the home goal against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, per Canucks Insider. - Tolopilo has been lit up in each of his last four starts, allowing at least four goals during his four-game losing streak. The Belarusian netminder is 5-9-2 with a 3.73 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 18 outings in 2025-26. Tolopilo will face a Vegas squad that has won each of its first three games under new bench boss John Tortorella, including a win against the Canucks on March 30. None
April 5, 2026 Tolopilo stopped 17 of 23 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Mammoth. - Tolopilo got another start due to the absence of Kevin Lankinen (illness), but he struggled between the pipes once again. The 25-year-old has been far from reliable in most fantasy formats and has allowed three or more goals in six games in a row while allowing at least four goals in the last four. Tolopilo has posted a 5.69 GAA and an .819 save percentage during an ongoing four-game losing streak. None
April 4, 2026 Tolopilo will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game against the Mammoth, Tyson Cole of CanucksArmy.com reports. - Tolopilo will make his second straight start after he allowed four goals on 38 shots in a 5-2 loss against the Wild on Thursday. On the season, he is 5-8-2 with a 3.57 GAA and an .887 save percentage. The 25-year-old also brings a streak of five straight games allowing three or more goals into Saturday's contest. He'll look to halt that against the Mammoth, winners of two straight games with 12 goals scored in those outings. None
April 3, 2026 Tolopilo turned aside 34 of 38 shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild. - Tolopilo was fighting an uphill battle Thursday, as he did well to dispel 34 shots against Minnesota's high-powered offense. With Thursday's loss, the 25-year-old netminder now holds a 5-8-2 record, a 3.57 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 17 outings this season. He's unlikely to take more than a handful of starts away from Kevin Lankinen down the stretch of the regular season, limiting Tolopilo's fantasy value for the remainder of the campaign. On the bright side, he has made more than 30 saves in six of his appearances this season, which is a strong building point for the young netminder following the end of his rookie season. None
April 2, 2026 Tolopilo is slated to start on the road against Minnesota on Thursday, per NHL.com. - Tolopilo struggled in March, going 2-4-0 with a 4.46 GAA and an .835 save percentage across six outings. He has a 5-7-2 record, 3.53 GAA and .886 save percentage across 16 appearances in 2025-26. While he's left plenty to be desired this campaign, he did stop 28 of 30 shots (.933 save percentage) en route to a 4-2 home win over Minnesota on Dec. 6. The Wild rank 12th in the league with 3.22 goals per game this season. None
March 29, 2026 Tolopilo stopped seven of 11 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames. - Tolopilo got the start but was pulled 4:36 into the second period after Olli Maatta scored to put the Flames ahead 4-1. The Canucks weren't able to bail out Tolopilo, who ended up with the loss in his first game action in two weeks. He's now at 5-7-2 with a 3.53 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 16 appearances this season. Kevin Lankinen hasn't played that well either, and he gave up three goals on 12 shots in relief Saturday. Bottom line, the Canucks' goaltending is a unit to avoid at all costs in fantasy, especially with a gauntlet of a three-game road trip coming up. That trip kicks off Monday in Vegas. None
March 28, 2026 Tolopilo is expected to start on the road against Calgary on Saturday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan. - Tolopilo has a 5-6-2 record, 3.34 GAA and .892 save percentage in 15 outings in 2025-26. His last start came March 14 when he stopped 28 of 33 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Seattle. Calgary has a subpar 30-34-8 record, but it has secured at least one point in five straight games (4-0-1). None
March 14, 2026 Tolopilo will protect the home net against Seattle on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports. - Tolopilo is coming off a 16-save performance in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Nashville. He has won his last two outings while making 36 saves on 42 shots. Tolopilo has a 5-5-2 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 14 NHL appearances this season. Seattle ranks 26th in the league with 2.80 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign. None
March 12, 2026 Tolopilo is expected to draw the home start against the Predators on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports. - Tolopilo didn't appear in either of the Canucks' last two games, but he should return to the crease Thursday based on his usage during the team's optional morning skate. Across his last five outings, he's gone 1-2-2 with a 3.29 GAA and .892 save percentage. None
March 7, 2026 Tolopilo stopped 20 of 23 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks. - Tolopilo was beaten twice in the first period and once more in the second, but the win was never in doubt after the Canucks added three goals in the final frame. This was Tolopilo's first win since a 2-0 victory over the Ducks on Jan. 29. Between both wins, the 25-year-old netminder had posted a 0-2-2 record with a 3.37 GAA. As the backup goaltender of one of the worst teams in the NHL, however, Tolopilo shouldn't have a lot of fantasy appeal (if any) in most formats. None
March 6, 2026 Tolopilo will be between the visiting pipes in Chicago on Friday, according to Dan Murphy of Sportsnet. - Tolopilo is 3-5-2 with a 3.27 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 12 appearances this season. The Blackhawks are averaging 2.62 goals per game this season, 27th in the NHL. None
March 5, 2026 Tolopilo allowed a goal on 10 shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes. - While Tolopilo had the better performance of Vancouver's two goalies, he was also responsible for the decisive goal, which Nikolaj Ehlers potted just under a minute after Tolopilo entered the contest. This was Tolopilo's fourth loss in a row (0-2-2), and he's given up 12 goals on 116 shots over those four appearances. The 25-year-old is now at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.27 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 12 appearances. He should get a start soon, as the Canucks visit the Blackhawks on Friday and the Jets on Saturday for a back-to-back set. None
March 3, 2026 Tolopilo stopped 31 of 37 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Stars. - Tolopilo has dropped his last three starts, going 0-1-2 in that span, but perhaps more worrisome is the fact that he's posted a save percentage below .900 in his past two outings. The 25-year-old netminder has been limited to 11 appearances this season, but his numbers haven't been very good with a 3-4-2 record, a 3.32 GAA and a .901 save percentage. Expect Tolopilo to remain as the Canucks' No. 2 option between the pipes behind Kevin Lankinen for the foreseeable future. None
March 2, 2026 Tolopilo was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against the Stars on Monday. - Tolopilo is coming off a 25-save effort in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg. He has a 3-3-2 record with a 3.03 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 10 NHL appearances this season. Dallas ranks ninth in the league with 3.32 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign. None
Feb. 25, 2026 Tolopilo is set to start at home against Winnipeg on Wednesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com. - Tolopilo is 3-3-1 with a 3.04 GAA and a .910 save percentage in nine appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. He also has a 3.07 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 19 outings with AHL Abbotsford this campaign. Winnipeg was struggling with a 3-4-3 record across its last 10 games before the Olympic break, but Vancouver has fared even worse with a 2-7-1 record in its past 10 outings. None
Feb. 23, 2026 Tolopilo was brought up from AHL Abbotsford on Monday under emergency conditions. - Vancouver returned Aku Koskenvuo to the minors in a corresponding move. Tolopilo has a 3-3-1 record with a 3.04 GAA and a .910 save percentage in nine NHL appearances this season. None
Feb. 4, 2026 Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday. - Tolopilo went 1-2-1 with a .909 save percentage over five games during January with Vancouver. The 25-year-old will spend the Olympic break in the AHL, but considering he's been outplaying both Kevin Lankinen and Jiri Patera, Tolopilo should be expected to return to the big club ahead of the team's Feb. 25 game versus the Jets. None
Jan. 31, 2026 Tolopilo is expected to start at home against Toronto on Saturday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650. - Tolopilo has a 3-3-0 record, 3.22 GAA and .903 save percentage in eight appearances in 2025-26. He stopped all 32 shots he faced in Vancouver's 2-0 victory over Anaheim, but he missed a bit of time after being pulled by a concussion spotter, so he didn't record the shutout. Toronto has struggled with a 1-5-2 record over its past eight games, though the Leafs are set to get back William Nylander (groin) on Saturday. None
Jan. 29, 2026 Tolopilo was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod at home versus the Ducks. - Tolopilo has made just seven appearances for the Canucks this season, going 2-3-0 with a 3.72 GAA in his limited opportunities. With Thatcher Demko (hip) done for the year, the 25-year-old Tolopilo should see significantly more starts the rest of the way, though Kevin Lankinen remains the No. 1 option in Vancouver. None
Jan. 27, 2026 Tolopilo gave up two goals on 27 shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks. - Tolopilo was able to stabilize things after Lankinen was pulled just 5:55 into the game with the Canucks down 3-1. Both goals Tolopilo allowed came on San Jose power plays. For the season, Tolopilo is 2-3-0 with a 3.72 GAA and an .887 save percentage in seven appearances. He's been alternating between the NHL and AHL, sharing the backup role in Vancouver with Jiri Patera, so it's unclear if Tolopilo will see enough time or perform well enough to warrant consideration in fantasy. None
Jan. 24, 2026 Tolopilo was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Saturday. - The Canucks sent Jiri Patera to Abbotsford in a corresponding move. Tolopilo saw action in six NHL games before his demotion, posting a 2-3-0 record with a 3.97 GAA and an .881 save percentage. None
Jan. 18, 2026 Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday. - Tolopilo allowed six goals in Saturday's loss to the Oilers, and the Canucks decided to swap out goalies a day later. Tolopilo will head to Abbotsford while Jiri Patera was called up under emergency conditions to back up Kevin Lankinen moving forward until Thatcher Demko (lower body) is healthy again. Tolopilo will see more consistent playing time with the AHL club. None
Jan. 17, 2026 Tolopilo will patrol the home crease against Edmonton on Saturday, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650. - Kevin Lankinen is a little under the weather, but he will serve as Tolopilo's backup. The 25-year-old Tolopilo has a 2-2-0 record at the NHL level this campaign while surrendering 15 goals on 142 shots in five appearances. Edmonton ranks sixth in the league with 3.31 goals per game this season, but loses some offensive firepower with Leon Draisaitl (personal) unavailable to play. None
Jan. 13, 2026 Tolopilo turned aside 35 shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens. - The Canucks kept things close through two periods, but the Habs beat Tolopilo three times on 14 shots in the final frame. The 25-year-old netminder is back in the NHL to provide depth behind Kevin Lankinen during the latest absence for Thatcher Demko (lower body), but Tolopilo's 3.50 GAA and .894 save percentage in five appearances for Vancouver this season don't give him much fantasy appeal. None
Jan. 12, 2026 Tolopilo was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Montreal. - Tolopilo was recalled by the Canucks on Sunday and will draw the start in the first half of a back-to-back set. Over four appearances this season, he's gone 2-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 101 shots, good for a .911 save percentage. None
Jan. 11, 2026 Tolopilo was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Sunday under emergency conditions. - Tolopilo will probably serve as Kevin Lankinen's backup in Monday's road game against Montreal after Thatcher Demko (lower body) sustained an injury in Saturday's 5-0 loss to Toronto. The 25-year-old Tolopilo has stopped 92 of the 101 shots he has faced in four NHL appearances this season en route to a 2-1-0 record. None
Dec. 11, 2025 Tolopilo was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Thursday. - Tolopilo was 2-1-0 with a 2.74 GAA and a .911 save percentage across four NHL appearances this season. The Canucks will get Thatcher Demko back in net Thursday for the first time in 12 contests. None
Dec. 9, 2025 Tolopilo stopped all six shots he faced in relief of Kevin Lankinen in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Red Wings. - Tolopilo played the third period, and Detroit's only goal in that frame went into an empty net. Through four appearances this season, Tolopilo has stopped 92 of 101 shots, good for a .911 save percentage. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) likely returning to action Thursday versus the Sabres, Tolopilo is probably going to be demoted to AHL Abbotsford, but he has shown well during this stint in the NHL even while the team in front of him has struggled. None
Dec. 7, 2025 Tolopilo stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild. - Tolopilo was sharp in this outing and got enough help from his teammates to come away with the win. He allowed the first and last goals in the game, but the Canucks had the four in the middle. Tolopilo is 2-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 95 shots over his first three outings this season. He'll likely be with the team until Thatcher Demko (lower body) is healthy again, which may not be much longer, as Demko is targeting Thursday's game versus the Sabres for his return. None
Dec. 6, 2025 Tolopilo will start at home versus the Wild on Saturday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports. - Tolopilo will start the second half of a back-to-back after Kevin Lankinen was in goal for a 4-1 loss to the Mammoth on Friday. This will be a tough task for Tolopilo, who may struggle to get goal support. The Wild have scored 13 goals over their last six games, but they are 4-1-1 in that span. None
Dec. 4, 2025 Tolopilo was recalled from AHL Abbotsford under emergency conditions Thursday. - Tolopilo was designated as non-roster Monday while tending to a personal matter, but he was activated Wednesday and will join the NHL club a day later. Tolopilo should serve as Kevin Lankinen's backup during his time with Vancouver. Tolopilo has made two starts for Vancouver this year, going 1-1-0 with a 3.56 GAA and .892 save percentage. None
Dec. 3, 2025 Tolopilo (personal) was removed from the non-roster list and reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday. - Tolopilo has posted a 1-1-0 record while stopping 58 of 65 shots (.892 save percentage) across two appearances with Vancouver this season. The 25-year-old netminder also has a 3.35 GAA and a .901 save percentage in five outings with Abbotsford this season. None
Dec. 1, 2025 Tolopilo is headed back to Vancouver for personal reasons and will miss Tuesday's road game versus Colorado, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports. - With Tolopilo traveling home for the birth of his child, the Canucks recalled Jiri Patera from the minors, presumably to serve as the No. 2 option behind Kevin Lankinen. The 25-year-old Tolopilo has allowed seven goals on 65 shots while going 1-1-0 over his two NHL games this season. Once Thatcher Demko (lower body) is cleared to play, Tolopilo figures to head back to AHL Abbotsford. None
Nov. 29, 2025 Tolopilo stopped 21 of 24 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks. - Tolopilo suffered the first defeat of his NHL career, though he still had a decent performance. The Canucks are playing on a back-to-back Saturday, so it's uncertain if the 25-year-old will remain between the pipes. Right now, the Canucks are without Thatcher Demko (lower body) and Kevin Lankinen (personal), though there's a scenario in which Lankinen might return to the lineup to face Los Angeles. None
Nov. 28, 2025 Tolopilo is set to start on the road against San Jose on Friday, per Max Miller of NHL.com. - Tolopilo is set to make his second NHL start of the 2025-26 campaign after turning aside 37 of 41 shots en route to a 5-4 win over Anaheim on Wednesday. He's getting this opportunity because Vancouver is without Thatcher Demko (lower body) and Kevin Lankinen (personal). San Jose is tied for 24th in goals per game with 2.79. None
Nov. 26, 2025 Tolopilo is set to start on the road against Anaheim on Wednesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News. - Tolopilo has a 3.35 GAA and a .901 save percentage in five appearances with AHL Abbotsford in 2025-26. He hasn't played for the Canucks yet this season. Tolopilo is getting this opportunity because Vancouver is without Kevin Lankinen (personal) and Thatcher Demko (lower body).

Nov. 24, 2025 Tolopilo was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday. - Tolopilo will switch places with Jiri Patera, who was returned to the minors in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old Tolopilo has yet to get into an NHL game this year, instead posting a 1-3-1 record and .901 save percentage in five outings with Abbotsford.

July 8, 2025 Tolopilo signed a two-year, two-way contract with Vancouver on Tuesday. - Tolopilo posted a 20-14-2 record with a 2.66 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 36 regular-season games for AHL Abbotsford in 2024-25. He also made two regular-season NHL appearances with Vancouver in April last campaign, stopping 23 of 26 shots for a 1-1-0 record. The 25-year-old netminder will likely spend most of 2025-26 in the minors. None
April 17, 2025 Tolopilo was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Thursday. - Tolopilo made his NHL debut late in the 2024-25 campaign, going 1-1-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .875 save percentage over two appearances. He'll head back to the minors now that the Canucks' regular-season schedule has concluded. None
April 16, 2025 Tolopilo allowed two goals on eight shots in relief of Kevin Lankinen (undisclosed) in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights. - Tolopilo played the third period after Lankinen exited the game with a muscle strain. This was Tolopilo's second NHL appearance and his first loss -- he went 1-1-0 with three goals allowed on 24 shots over the last two games of the season. The 25-year-old goalie is likely to be reassigned to AHL Abbotsford to join that team's playoff run. When both Thatcher Demko and Lankinen are healthy, Tolopilo has no obvious path to NHL playing time. None
April 15, 2025 Tolopilo stopped 15 of 16 shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks. - Tolopilo finally made his NHL debut and looked solid between the posts, though he didn't have a lot of work overall.

In the minors, the 25-year-old Tolopilo is sporting an 18-14-2 record to go with a .901 save percentage. If he performs well Monday, it's possible the Canucks go back to Tolopilo in the season finale against Vegas on Wednesday. None
April 12, 2025 Tolopilo was called up from AHL Abbotsford on Saturday. - The move was an emergency recall, but there is no word as to whether Thatcher Demko or Kevin Lankinen are injured. Tolopilo is 18-14-2 with four shutouts, a 2.68 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 34 starts at AHL Abbotsford this season. He has yet to debut in the NHL. None
March 9, 2025 Tolopilo was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday. - Tolopilo was called up by the Canucks on Saturday, but he'll head back to the minors ahead of Sunday's home game against Dallas.
