National Hockey League (NHL) Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tuckett announcedthat goalkeeper Artūrs Šilovs could go to the field in one of the next three games.
It has already been announced that Shilov was called up from the farm club on March 12, because the team’s main goalkeeper Thatcher Demko was injured. It was Shilov’s first call-up to the NHL this season, but he has yet to take the field, remaining on the bench in all seven games.
On Thursday, “Canucks” coach Tokets already said that Shilov will be given a chance in the next few days, but today the specialist revealed that it will be one of the next three games. Tomorrow night, the Canucks at At 10:30 p.m., they will meet the Anaheim Ducks, the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday night, and the Arizona Coyotes a day later.
“We have to let him play. Of course, he will also play – there is a possibility that it could be tomorrow, it could also happen in the match against Arizona,” the Canucks captain commented on Shilov’s prospects of going to the field.
This season in the “Canucks” farm club, Shilov has stopped 90.7% of the opponents’ shots in 33 AHL matches and has allowed an average of 2.74 innings.
Rick Tocchet on Arturs Šilovs: We’ve gotta get him in the lineup. There’s a chance it’s tomorrow. Obviously he’s going to play, probably the Arizona game. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
