Arturs Silovs News

Silovs was acquired in a trade from the Vancouver Canucks in the offseason to battle with Tristan Jarry for the Penguins' crease and appears to have a head start on opening night as he will tend the twine against the New York Rangers. The 24-year-old Silovs has limited NHL experience, having played a career-high 10 games with Vancouver last season (2-6-1), posting a 3.65 GAA and a .861 SV%. Expect the Penguins to alternate starts between their goaltenders unless one can establish themselves as the undisputed starter. The Penguins enter Tuesday's contest against the Rangers as +194 road underdogs.

Silovs is a talented goalie who has battled inconsistencies and was buried on Vancouver's depth chart behind Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen. He is coming off a terrific Calder Cup-winning postseason with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL), posting a stellar 2.01 GAA and .931 SV% in 24 appearances (16-7). With the recent departure of Alex Nedeljkovic, Silovs could have an opportunity for a heavier workload at the NHL level this season.

Fresh off a 3-2 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings last night, the Canucks will turn to Silovs between the pipes in the tail end of their back-to-back against the Anaheim Ducks. Silovs has seen limited NHL action this season but was solid in his most recent outing, saving 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Utah Hockey Club earlier this week. He has a 3.82 GAA and .862 SV% in eight appearances this season (1-5-1). The Canucks enter the action on Thursday as -121 road favorites against a Ducks squad amid a two-game losing skid.

With Thatcher Demko expected to be out week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Arturs Silovs has been recalled from Abbotsford (AHL) to act as Kevin Lankinen's backup for the foreseeable future. The 23-year-old netminder has appeared in seven games for Vancouver this season but has struggled with a 1-4-1 record, 4.11 GAA and .847 SV%.

Silovs was recalled under emergency conditions on Tuesday but will return to the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Silovs has split time between the NHL and AHL this season but has been more successful in Abbotsford, posting a 2.53 GAA and .906 SV% in eight games (5-3-0).

Kevin Lankinen is reportedly dealing with an illness, so Silovs has been recalled, presumably to serve as Thatcher Demko's backup vs. the Sabres.

Silovs being reassigned to Abbotsford (AHL) likely indicated that Thatcher Demko (back) is ready to return to Vancouver's lineup. Silovs began the season in Vancouver but has predominantly been in the AHL since Demko debuted. The 23-year-old Silovs has a 2.44 GAA and .900 SV% in five games with Abbottsford (AHL).

Thatcher Demko exited Vancouver's previous game due to back spasms and will not dress on Friday against the Nashville Predators. Silovs began the season in Vancouver but has been in the AHL since Demko debuted. The 23-year-old Silovs has a 2.44 GAA and .900 SV% in five games with Abbottsford (AHL).

With Thatcher Demko rounding into form after returning from injury, the Canucks have opted to roll with him and Kevin Lankinen as their goaltending tandem, resulting in Silovs being assigned to Abbotsford (AHL). The 23-year-old Silovs has had a rocky 2024-25 campaign with the Canucks, posting a 4.11 GAA and .847 SV% in seven appearances (1-4-1).

The Canucks will turn to Silovs on Wednesday as they get set to play their second game in as many nights. It's Silovs' first appearance since November 19th, when he surrendered four goals on 33 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Rangers. The 23-year-old netminder owns an ugly .857 SV% and 3.91 GAA across six appearances this season. That being said, he's got a good chance of getting back in the win column on Wednesday, as the Canucks enter action as -120 favourites in Pittsburgh.

Silovs has not played much this season but was excellent in his previous outing, saving 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, and will return to the crease for the second time in the last three games. The 23-year-old Silovs has a 3.86 GAA and .850 SV% in five outings (1-2-1). The Canucks enter the action on Tuesday as +105 home underdogs against a New York Rangers club on a two-game winning streak.
