Pettersson will miss his first game of the 2022-23 season due to illness after collecting 13 goals and 21 assists off 92 SOG through 29 games played. The Canucks leading scorer is considered day-to-day while he deals with the illness.
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.
Kravtsov has been a healthy scratch since Dec. 5th but will draw back into the lineup Thursday vs. Toronto. The 22-year-old, 2018 1st round pick (9th overall) has been a bit of a disappointment in his second season in the NHL, with a goal, an assist, seven SOG and six PIMs through 10 games so far.
Lankinen was incredible in his last start, stopping 48 of 49 shots (.980 SV%) in a win over the New York Islanders. The Predators' backup is having far and away his best season to date, with a 6-3-3 record, 2.27 GAA and .934 SV%. He faces the Edmonton Oilers, who lost Monday vs. Minnesota but still are lethal offensively due to their first-ranked powerplay (30.2) in the NHL.
Kravtsov will be a healthy scratch yet again after playing in the Rangers' last four games. The 22-year-old has a goal, and an assist with a +4 plus/minus in 10 games prior to heading to the press box Wednesday.
Chytil missed the Rangers' previous two contests due to a lower-body injury but is expected to return Wednesday. It will be a welcome return for the 23-year-old, who has four goals, 11 points and is a +6 with 30 SOG through 19 GP this season.
Demko stopped 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) for his second win in three starts as he beat San Jose his last time out. It has been a nightmarish season for Demko so far as shown by his 3-9-2 record, .887 SV% and 3.80 GAA. He takes on a Florida Panthers team that has lost six of their last seven contests.
