Vancouver Canucks' Announce Roster/Lineup for 2nd Preseason Game Against the Calgary Flames

After an off-day on Monday and all groups remaining in the team's training camp practicing on Tuesday, the Vancouver Canucks will return to game action tonight as the designated home team in a neutral site game in Abbotsford, home of their American Hockey League affiliate.

Among those that were announced last week to be suiting up tonight against the Calgary Flames were Thatcher Demko, Marcus Pettersson, Tyler Myers, Filip Chytil, as well as Nils Hoglander, and with just hours to go until puck drop, the Canucks' full roster for tonight's contest has been announced.

In a post on social media this morning, Ryan Pike of Flames Nation shared the rosters for the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks, both of whom will be bringing plenty of prospects to Abbotsford.

Among the notables that will be on the ice for the Calgary Flames tonight include Joel Farabee, Connor Zary, Jake Bean and former Vancouver Canucks prospect Hunter Brzustewicz, who was dealt to the Alberta club in January 2024 as part of the package for Elias Lindholm.

Meanwhile for the Vancouver Canucks, they'll be bringing 12 forwards, six defensemen and three goaltenders with them for tonight's game, eight of whom will be getting into their second contest of the preseason, including top defensive prospect Tom Willander.

One player to keep an eye on for the Vancouver Canucks this evening is Russian forward Vitali Kravtsov, who after two impressive seasons with Traktor Chelyabinsk in the KHL, has returned to to North America after signing a one-year deal worth $775,000 US.
