Tolopilo Starts Friday for Canucks Amid Goalie Injuries

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Nikita Tolopilo is set to start on the road against San Jose on Friday. This will be his second NHL start of the 2025-26 campaign, following a 5-4 win over Anaheim on Wednesday where he stopped 37 of 41 shots. Tolopilo is getting this opportunity due to the absences of Thatcher Demko (lower body) and Kevin Lankinen (personal).
