Canucks Recall Goaltender Nikita Tolopilo Under Emergency Conditions

The Vancouver Canucks have recalled goaltender Nikita Tolopilo under emergency conditions, re-assigning Jiří Patera to the Abbotsford Canucks. This move precedes a demanding road trip to California and Colorado, featuring back-to-back games, where the Canucks aim to manage Kevin Lankinen's workload. Tolopilo recently returned to Abbotsford's lineup after a month-long injury absence, stopping 28 of 32 shots in his Friday night start.
