Veteran Canucks Defenseman Out Long-Term After Undergoing Unexpected Lower Body Surgery

Although considered a prospect for the Vancouver Canucks, the 28-year-old D-Man has only played a combined 30 games for the big club since being drafted in the third-round back in 2015.

After winning the Calder Cup in Abbotsford last season, Brisbois was added to the Canucks' 2025-26 training camp roster.

But, with reaching an older age and not appearing in many NHL games, Brisbois was slotted into Group C with a lot of the organization's other prospects and camp invitees.

The reason for his injury being a shock to many is the fact that general manager Patrik Allvin highlighted all of the injuries that would withhold certain players from taking part in preseason and training camp.

Key names like Jett Woo, Ty Mueller, and Anri Ravinskis were all named, but Brisbois wasn't.

On Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks announced that the journeyman defenseman will be out long-term after suffering a lower body injury and needing surgery to repair it.

Brisbois is not the only one to be sidelined with a big injury as Nils Hoglander is also likely to be out longer term with a lower body ailment.

Touted as a stay at home defenseman, the injury is a pretty big blow considering the key role he played in bring a championship to Abbotsford last year.

Everyone here at Canucks Daily wish Guillaume Brisbois a speedy recovery.
