Arturs Silovs News

Silovs was 21-9-4 with a .906 SV% and 2.48 GAA with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) and will make his NHL debut Wednesday as he takes on the New York Rangers. The 21-year-old Latvian was drafted in round 6 (156 overall) of the 2019 NHL entry draft. He draws a tough first matchup in the Rangers, who are in the midst of a five-game winning streak after a 6-2 victory over Carolina last game.

Silovs has gone 21-9-4 with a 2.48 GAA and .906 SV% in 35 games with Abbotsford (AHL) this season. It's believed that he will serve as Collin Delia's backup on Wednesday, with Spencer Martin heading to the AHL after clearing waivers. Silovs will likely go back to the AHL by the end of the week, making room for Thatcher Demko to return to the Canucks' crease.

Silovs has a 9-5-3 record, .887 SV% and 2.92 GAA with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) and has been recalled Monday by the Vancouver Canucks to be Spencer Martin's backup. Silovs has been recalled previously in his career but has yet to make his NHL debut so if he does see any game action, he will knock that milestone off his checklist.

Silovs was selected in the sixth-round of this summer’s NHL Entry Draft. The 18-year-old has the size of a modern-day netminder, standing at 6-foot-4 and 203 lbs. Silovs had a 3.26 GAA and .914 SV% in Latvia’s top league last season.
