The Vancouver Canucks' road trip will continue Tuesday night in Pittsburgh against the Penguins and it looks like they're set to take on a very familiar face.
Adam Foote & the Vancouver Canucks are currently on their second-longest road trip of the 2025-26 season which included a very early start time for fans on the West Coast for Sunday's game against the Washington Capitals.
Looking beyond Sunday's contest, the Canucks have two more games on their road trip before heading back to Vancouver next Saturday, as they'll face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday and Nashville Predators on Thursday.
When the Canucks take to the ice at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, it appears that there's a strong chance they'll be looking down the ice at a familiar face that was part of the organization just three months ago.
Vancouver Canucks to reportedly face Arturs Silovs on Tuesday night
In a social media post last night, Jeff Paterson of Rink Wide: Vancouver shared that the Pittsburgh Penguins were giving Tristan Jarry the start on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks and if Dan Muse was to stick with his normal goaltending rotation, that would mean Arturs Silovs will face his former club, the Vancouver Canucks, on Tuesday.
"Tristan Jarry starts for Pittsburgh tonight in San Jose. Pens have alternated goalies in early going. Sets up Arty Silovs to get the nod in next game vs #Canucks on Tuesday" Jeff Paterson said.
Silovs, 24, found himself in a bit of a crowded crease in Vancouver this summer as the club has Thatcher Demko and Kevin Lankinen locked up for the foreseeable future.
Because of this, and not wanting to lose him for nothing on the waiver wire during training camp, General Manager Patrik Allvin decided to work out a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins that saw the Canucks receive Chase Stillman and a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for the Latvian netminder.
"I thought it's a great thing for me, having an opportunity to play. Because, I mean, it's been tough. It's been tough road sitting with the three goalies down there. I think it's a phenomenal opportunity to play in the NHL. I just want to seize it and do my best." Silovs said about the trade when speaking with reporters last month.
In three games this season, the Riga native has a 2-1-0 record along with a 2.67 goals against average, a .908 save percentage and one shutout.
Puck drop for Tuesday's game against Arturs Silovs and the Pittsburgh Penguins is set for 4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet Pacific.
