The Abbotsford Canucks kicked off their final homestand series with a St. Patrick’s Day showdown against the Calgary Wranglers.

Goaltender Ty Young earned back-to-back starts following his impressive 41-save performance in his last outing, facing off against Calgary’s Devin Cooley.

After a successful series against Bakersfield, Abbotsford stuck with an identical lineup. Arshdeep Bains, Max Sasson, and Linus Karlsson remained together as a trio, while Jujhar Khaira stayed on the right wing alongside Sammy Blais and Aatu Räty. Tristen Nielsen and Danila Klimovich bookended Ty Mueller, with Ty Glover, Chase Wouters, and Nate Smith rounding out the forward group.

The defensive pairings remained unchanged as well: Guillaume Brisebois with Cole McWard, Christian Wolanin alongside Jett Woo, and Akito Hirose paired with Kirill Kudryavtsev.

Heading into the matchup, the Wranglers sat in fourth place in the standings, with Abbotsford close behind in fifth, setting the stage for an intense battle.

The action started quickly, as Calgary struck just 1:07 into the game. Sam Morton fired the opening shot past Young, giving the Wranglers an early lead. Abbotsford looked to respond but found themselves on an early penalty kill, slowing their momentum. It wasn’t until the 15-minute mark that the Canucks got their second power play opportunity of the night. They registered a few shots before Max Sasson, from behind the net, found Arshdeep Bains in front. Bains buried the puck, tying the game at 1-1. Less than a minute later, Jujhar Khaira won a puck battle in the offensive zone, setting up Aatu Räty for a one-timer that found the back of the net, giving Abbotsford a 2-1 lead. However, the advantage was short-lived. Just a minute later, Rory Kerins lived up to his reputation and beat Young to knot the game at 2-2. With less than a minute remaining in the period, Clark Bishop put Calgary back on top, scoring to give the Wranglers a 3-2 lead heading into the second frame. The teams combined for five goals on just 12 shots in a fast-paced opening period.

The second period saw a shift in tempo. After the high-scoring first, both teams tightened up defensively. Abbotsford had two power-play opportunities and a stretch of 4-on-4 play, generating quality chances, but Devin Cooley stood tall for the Wranglers. Neither team found the back of the net, and Calgary maintained their 3-2 lead heading into the final period.

Despite their efforts, neither team found the back of the net, and Calgary maintained their 3-2 lead heading into the final period.

With 20 minutes left to play, Abbotsford needed a quick response. Just five minutes into the third, Aatu Räty fired a shot that trickled through Cooley’s legs and crossed the goal line before he could stop it, tying the game at 3-3. Energized by the equalizer, the Canucks pressed on. Minutes later, Max Sasson charged down the ice and dished a perfect pass back to Linus Karlsson, who was waiting in front to jam it home. Abbotsford had come from behind to take a 4-3 lead, shifting their focus to defense. As time dwindled, Calgary pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker. Abbotsford held strong, but in the dying seconds, Tyson Barrie fired a shot that found the back of the net with just six seconds remaining, forcing overtime with a 4-4 tie.

In overtime, the Canucks dominated possession and created several close chances, but a late penalty gave Calgary a power play for the remainder of the extra frame. The Wranglers nearly capitalized, but a close-range shot squeaked just wide, sending the game into a shootout.

The shootout rounds unfolded as follows:

ROUND 1:

Nielsen: ✅

Kerins: ❌

ROUND 2:

Klimovich: ❌

Poirier: ❌

ROUND 3:

Blais: ✅

With Blais securing the final goal, Abbotsford claimed a thrilling 5-4 shootout victory. They will face the Wranglers again tomorrow to close out their homestand before heading on the road to take on the Manitoba Moose.

The Abbotsford Canucks faced off against the Bakersfield Condors on First Nations Night, following a dominant performance yesterday.

Ty Young made his first start on home ice since mid-December, going head-to-head with Collin Delia.

After a strong showing last night, the Canucks opted for an unchanged lineup. Arshdeep Bains, Max Sasson, and Linus Karlsson started once again, while Jujhar Khaira remained on the right wing alongside Sammy Blais and Aatu Räty. Tristen Nielsen and Danila Klimovich bookended Ty Mueller, and the trio of Ty Glover, Chase Wouters, and Nate Smith stayed intact to round out the group of forwards.

On defense, the pairings remained the same, with Guillaume Brisebois and Cole McWard together, followed by Christian Wolanin and Jett Woo. Akito Hirose and Kirill Kudryavtsev rounded out the defensive unit in green.

The Canucks anticipated a tough battle, as the Condors were eager to respond after their previous loss. Abbotsford was fortunate to receive an early four-minute power play, but Collin Delia was locked in, keeping the Canucks off the scoreboard. A few minutes after the advantage expired, the Condors struck first. Following a net-front scramble, Alex Swetlikoff found the puck and buried it, giving Bakersfield a 1-0 lead seven and a half minutes into the game. The Canucks continued to apply pressure and generated several quality chances, but they couldn’t solve Delia before the end of the period.

To open the second period, Abbotsford was determined to respond before the game slipped away. Fortunately, they set up in the offensive zone early, and a long shot from Sammy Blais in the slot deflected off Aatu Räty’s stick, tying the game at 1-1. Despite struggling with penalties, the Canucks held strong on the penalty kill, keeping the Condors off the board. The score remained tied heading into the final frame.

The last twenty minutes were crucial. The teams traded chances at even strength for half the period, but it was Danila Klimovich who broke the deadlock, firing a shot from the right circle into the back of the net to give the Canucks their first lead of the game. With the lead in hand, Abbotsford shifted their focus to defense, determined to keep the Condors from equalizing. The home team took two more penalties, but Ty Young stood tall, making key saves to preserve the lead. With just under two minutes remaining, Delia went to the bench for the extra attacker. A last-second penalty against the Canucks gave the Condors an 18-second 6-on-4 advantage. However, Chase Wouters won a critical faceoff, and Abbotsford cleared the puck as time expired, sealing a 2-1 victory over Bakersfield.

Ty Young delivered a standout performance, stopping 41 of 42 shots and leading the Canucks to a sweep of the mid-week series.

The Canucks will now regroup ahead of the weekend as they prepare to take on the Calgary Wranglers for their St. Patrick’s Day game and Community Heroes Night.

Abbotsford Canucks trade Carsen Twarynski to San Diego for Future Considerations

The Abbotsford Canucks looked to secure the season series as they faced the Manitoba Moose for the final time this season.

Ty Young got the start in net for Abbotsford, going up against Domenic DiVincentis at the other end.

The Canucks wasted no time getting on the board. After a clean zone entry, Jett Woo fired a shot from the blue line, sending the puck deep into the offensive zone. Aatu Räty then fed a perfect pass in front to Sammy Blais, who roofed it into the back of the net, giving Abbotsford an early 1-0 lead. However, the advantage was short-lived—just a minute and a half later, Ben King capitalized on a rebound after Axel Jonsson-Fjällby’s initial shot rang off the post, tucking it home to even the score.

The pace slowed for a stretch, with Ty Young making some key saves to keep Abbotsford in it. But around the 12-minute mark, the Canucks found themselves shorthanded. The Moose made them pay, as Elias Salomonsson ripped a shot from the slot to put Manitoba ahead for the first time. As the period wound down, Cole McWard changed the game’s momentum, firing a shot from the slot that found the back of the net, tying things up at 2-2 just before intermission.

The second period saw a shift in momentum, but neither team could find the back of the net. Both had power play opportunities, but DiVincentis and Young stood tall, keeping the game locked at 2-2 heading into the final frame.

The pace picked up quickly in the third. Just 47 seconds in, Sammy Blais jumped off the bench, intercepted a turnover, and broke in alone, finishing his chance to put Abbotsford ahead. The action didn’t stop there—less than 45 seconds later, Chase Wouters sent a cross-ice feed to Guillaume Brisebois, who came streaking down the right side and fired a blocker-side shot to extend the Canucks' lead to 4-2.

But Manitoba didn't give up. Just over two minutes later, Simon Lundmark responded, beating Young to bring the Moose back within one. Then, an untimely Abbotsford penalty gave the Moose another chance, and they made it count—Mason Shaw ripped a seeing-eye shot from the blue line, finding the back of the net to tie the game at 4-4. In a span of less than five minutes, four goals had been exchanged, but defense tightened up for the remainder of regulation, sending the game to overtime.

Overtime was short-lived. Just 30 seconds in, Max Sasson turned on the jets, went end to end, and tucked the puck past DiVincentis to seal Abbotsford’s seventh straight win. The Canucks clinched the season series with a thrilling 5-4 victory over Manitoba.

Abbotsford will now return home for a few practice days before heading back out on the road to visit the San Jose Barracuda.

canucks sweep the season series over the Manitoba Moose in a thrilling 5-4 victory.

The puck dropped on the final game of Abbotsford’s homestand as they faced the Calgary Wranglers for the 10th time this season.

Nikita Tolopilo returned to the crease for the Canucks, going head-to-head with Waltteri Ignatjew in Calgary’s net. 

Following a hard-fought shootout victory the night before, Abbotsford made a few tweaks to the lineup. The top three lines remained intact, with Arshdeep Bains, Max Sasson, and Linus Karlsson leading the charge. Jujhar Khaira stayed alongside Sammy Blais and Aatu Räty, while Ty Mueller continued centering Tristen Nielsen and Danila Klimovich. Phil Di Giuseppe returned to action, slotting in on the left wing with Chase Wouters and Nate Smith to round out the Canucks' forward group.

On the back end, Akito Hirose was paired with Cole McWard to start, while Christian Felton lined up with Christian Wolanin. Joe Arntsen also returned to the lineup, skating alongside Kirill Kudryavtsev.

The game opened with Calgary controlling early possession, registering a handful of shots before Abbotsford could respond. The Canucks found themselves shorthanded for four of the first 20 minutes, but Tolopilo stood tall, turning aside all 13 shots he faced. Ignatjew was equally solid in Calgary’s net, keeping the game scoreless heading into the second period.

Both teams came out looking to break the deadlock, and seven minutes in, Abbotsford got their first power play opportunity. With the faceoff already set in the offensive zone, it took just six seconds for Linus Karlsson to jam the puck through Ignatjew’s pads, giving the Canucks a 1-0 lead. The rest of the period saw Abbotsford spending more time shorthanded, including a 5-on-3 penalty kill, but Tolopilo and the defense held firm.

With twenty minutes left, Abbotsford aimed to extend their lead and secure the two points in regulation. Both teams exchanged chances, but the goaltenders continued to steal the show. As time wound down, Calgary pulled their goalie for the extra attacker, but the Canucks held strong. Tolopilo shut the door completely, earning a shutout and sealing a 1-0 victory.

With the win, Abbotsford swept the weekend series and extended their winning streak to five games. The team will now have a few days to recover before heading on the road to face the Manitoba Moose.

Abbotsford Canucks

The Abbotsford Canucks started their first tilt of their four-game road trip against the Manitoba Moose.

Nikita Tolopilo took the starting role in net, with Chris Driedger down at the other end of the ice.

After twelve minutes of scoreless play, Tristen Nielsen took matters into his own hands to get the action started. As Abbotsford started a rush down the ice, Arshdeep Bains made an excellent pass to Nielsen, who netted his eleventh goal of the season. Max Sasson registered a secondary assist.

Just 26 seconds later, Danila Klimovich tallied another. After breaking into the Manitoba zone, Ty Mueller passed the puck to Klimovich in front of the net, who made a move to backhand the puck passed Driedger, putting the Canucks up 2-0. About a minute and a half later, the Moose cut the lead in half with a goal from Axel Jonsson-Fjällby.

It did not take long for Abbotsford to strike back. After a great stop from Nikita Tolopilo, Abbotsford took possession of the puck and rushed down the ice. In a very similar fashion to his first goal, Nielsen one-timed the puck into the back of the net off a pass from Sasson only 31 seconds after Manitoba’s goal. With Bains getting the secondary assist, the trio all earned their second point of the night. 

The second period was quieter than the first, with neither team getting on the board. Sammy Blais had a great chance off the face-off, going hard to the net, but Driedger was there to stop it. The Canucks had a few more chances in the minutes to come, including a breakaway chance for Jujhar Khaira, but Driedger shut the door to keep the score 3-1. Abbotsford outshot their opponents by nearly double, with the shots registering 13-7 in the Canucks’ favour that period.

The third frame continued in similar fashion, with lots of back-and-forth play. As time wound down, Manitoba’s Isaak Phillips went on a partial breakaway down the ice, but Tolopilo was there to make the stop and keep the Moose trailing by two. Less than two minutes later though, Jonsson-Fjällby scored his second of the game to bring the Moose back within one.

With 2:42 remaining in the game, Reece Vitelli took a penalty to give Abbotsford the man-advantage. In the dying seconds of the power play, Sasson found Mueller in the slot, who made no mistake putting the puck in the net, giving Sasson his third assist of the night. As the clock ticked to zero, the Canucks held onto their two-goal lead to win it 4-2. 

After an exciting first period that saw three Canucks goals in two minutes and 23 seconds, Abbotsford picked up a 4-2 win in Manitoba to start the road trip.
