Rossi has not played since December 30th and is likely still a couple weeks away from returning to action. The 24-year-old has two points (1G / 1A) in eight games since joining the Canucks in a trade with Minnesota.
Tolopilo was recalled from Abbotsford (AHL) on Sunday in correspondence to Thatcher Demko (lower body) being placed on IR, and he will be between the pipes for Vancouver on Monday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 25-year-old Tolopilo was solid in a four-game stint for Vancouver earlier this season (2-1-0), posting a 2.74 GAA and .911 SV%. The Canucks enter the action on Monday as -184 home favorites against a Canadiens team that is 5-2-0 in their last seven games.
Lankinen has strung together a solid three-game stretch (2-0-1), posting a 2.95 GAA and .913 SV%, and will return to the crease on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. That said, the 30-year-old Finnish goalie has largely struggled this season, with an unfavorable 3.37 GAA and .884 SV% in 20 games (6-10-4). The Canucks enter the action on Thursday as +136 road underdogs against the Red Wings, who defeated them 4-0 last month.
Demko has lost four straight outings (0-3-1), posting an ugly 4.01 GAA and .880 SV%, and hopes to rebound on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres. The 30-year-old American goalie has a 2.72 GAA and .904 SV% in 18 games this season (8-8-1). The Canucks enter the action on Tuesday as +149 road underdogs against a Buffalo Sabres team whose 10-game winning streak was snapped on Saturday in a 5-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Demko has struggled in recent games, posting an ugly 4.33 GAA and .876 SV% in his last three (0-3-0), but will return to the crease on Friday against the Seattle Kraken. The 30-year-old Demko has a 2.72 GAA and .905 SV% in 17 games this season. The Canucks enter the action on Friday as -139 home favorites against a Kraken team that played last night and extended its point streak to six games (5-0-1) with a 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators.
