Now that Thatcher Demko seems wholesome after recording back-to-back wins earlier within the week, the Vancouver Canucks not wanted three goalies on the roster. The odd-man out is Arturs Silovs, because the Canucks announced they reassigned Silovs again to their AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Canucks, earlier Saturday.
On account of Demko’s recurring accidents all through the 2024-25 marketing campaign, Silovs has been an oft-called-upon third netminder for Vancouver. He’s doubled his profession video games whole this season, managing a 2-6-1 report in 10 video games for the Canucks with a .861 SV% and three.65 GAA. If the topical save share and goals-against common weren’t unhealthy sufficient, Moneypuck has Silovs ranked 66th out of 72 netminders with 10 or extra video games performed this yr with a -10.2 targets saved above anticipated.
It’s a far cry from his spectacular efficiency in final yr’s playoffs. Vancouver tasked Silovs with backstopping the crew via the again half of their Spherical One matchup towards the Nashville Predators after Demko and Casey DeSmith fell to accidents. Together with a series-deciding shutout in Sport Six towards Nashville, Silovs helped the Canucks take the eventual Western Convention champion Edmonton Oilers to seven video games.
Unsurprisingly, his time in Abbotsford this season has offered higher outcomes. Regardless of being rostered for Vancouver for a lot of the yr, Silovs has posted a 11-4-0 report in 15 video games with the AHL Canucks with a .902 SV% and a couple of.53 GAA. His save share has dropped mildly in comparison with final season, however Silovs has nonetheless proved a top quality goaltender on the AHL degree.
