TRENDING Week 10 NFL updates Maye, Hutchinson injured College football winners/losers Kelce injured vs. Falcons UFC 334 takeaways Story by Story by Canucks Call Goaltender Nikita Tolopilo Up From The AHL Izzy Cheung · The Hockey News - Vancouver Canucks Sun, November 15, 2026 at 6:00 PM UTC · 2 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement The Vancouver Canucks have re-called goaltender Nikita Tolopilo up from the AHL ahead of their Sunday night matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. This move comes the day after Vancouver re-assigned forward Jacob Quillan to the Abbotsford Canucks.
Tolopilo has been off to a strong start in Abbotsford through 2026–27, posting a record of 7–2–4 with a GAA of 2.52. Prior to his start against the Ontario Reign on November 14, he had yet to surrender more than four goals in a game for Abbotsford this season. Tolopilo has yet to make his season-debut for Vancouver and is unlikely to tonight, as he played the night before in Ontario.
Tolipilo's call-up comes after a particularly difficult stretch of play for Kevin Lankinen to start the 2026–27 season. In nine games played-in this season, Lankinen has posted a 6.03 GAA and .808 SV%. After a strong start to the year, Leevi Meriläinen's numbers have cooled as well, dropping down to a 3.16 GAA and .885 SV%.
Vancouver will take part in the first-half of a back-to-back when they face the Golden Knights tonight. Tomorrow, they'll head to Utah to face the Mammoth, before battling the Seattle Kraken on Thursday.
