J.T. Miller will not play Thursday vs. Minnesota despite being a game-time decision originally (lower body).

Miller missed the Canucks' previous two games due to a lower-body injury and will not play Thursday vs. Minnesota. The 29-year-old has 20 goals, 34 assists, 163 SOG, 42 PIMs and a -15 plus/minus through 59 games this season.

Shesterkin will start Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Shesterkin stopped 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%) to snap a two-game losing streak with a victory over the Los Angeles Kings. The 27-year-old has struggled mightily as of late, which has caused his underlying numbers to slip to a .910 SV% and 2.65 GAA on the season while still maintaining his solid record of 26-10-7. He will take on the Philadelphia Flyers, who have lost seven of their last eight games after an ugly 7-0 defeat to New Jersey last game.

Gavrikov had three goals, 10 points, 61 SOG, 30 PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 52 games with Columbus but has been dealt alongside Joonas Korpisalo from the Blue Jackets for Jonathan Quick, a first-round pick and a third-round pick.

The Kings have acquired Joonas Korpisalo and Vladislav Gavrikov from the Blue Jackets for Jonathan Quick, a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick.

Korpisalo was 11-11-3 with a 3.17 GAA and .913 SV% in Columbus and will now head to Los Angeles alongside Vladislav Gavrikov from the Blue Jackets for Jonathan Quick, a first-round pick and a third-round pick. The 28-year-old played eight seasons in Columbus posting a .903 SV% across 210 career games.

J.T. Miller did not make the team trip to Dallas and is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.

Miller has 20 goals, 34 assists, 163 SOG, 42 PIMs and a -15 plus/minus through 59 games with the Canucks this season but will miss Monday's contest vs. Dallas due to an undisclosed injury. Miller's name has been floating around in trade rumours as of late but this seems to just be an injury.

Korpisalo will start Thursday vs. the Wild.

Korpisalo stopped 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) for his second-straight win as he beat Dallas in his previous start. The 28-year-old has been impressive on an otherwise horrendous roster, as shown by his 10-10-3 record, .913 SV% and 3.14 GAA. He takes on the Minnesota Wild, who are in the midst of a three-game winning streak but are 25th in the NHL in goals per game (2.86).

Shesterkin was the first goalie off the ice at the Rangers' morning skate.

Shesterkin allowed four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%) for his fourth-straight win but a fourth-straight game with a save percentage below .900 as he beat Edmonton his last time out. The 2022 Vezina Trophy winner has been strong, but not his dominant self this season, with his 25-8-7 record, 2.55 GAA and .914 SV%. He takes on the Winnipeg Jets, who are in a bit of a slump having lost five of their last seven game after a 4-2 loss to New Jersey last game.
